    Synthwave Surfer v0.2.0 — EDM feintuning.

    The dance genres got a real pass — authentic basses, a Detroit-style stab, supersaw leads — plus performance and rendering fixes.

    Added

    • Rolling offbeat basses (Techno / Prog House / Trance) that dodge the
      four-on-the-floor kick — Techno gets a sustained, melodic, pumping bass; Prog
      House and Trance roll the offbeat 16ths.
    • Detroit-style stab for Techno (short off-beat m7 chords) instead of a
      sustained pad — frees the frequency space the wide pad was hogging.
    • Supersaw leads (Techno / Prog House / Trance), an octave lower with a plucky
      sustain, now present across both main sections and the breakdown.

    Changed

    • EDM pads dialed back (quieter, darker, drier) so they sit under the bass + lead.
    • The piano roll now renders the actual pad/stab patterns.
    • Dubstep is parked (hidden) until a real wobble engine (per-bar bass-filter
      modulation) is built.

    Fixed

    • Performance degradation over time — an audio-graph rebuild leak + stacked render
      loops.
    • The lead Model dropdown showed no instrument for the supersaw leads.
    • A bassFill bug that blanked the piano roll and silently dropped some bass notes.
