Changes in Invader 2 v1.0.8

Parameter values now displayed in the top bar.
Adds sustain pedal support.
Oscillators that have the same pitch (or a multiple) are synced when a note is triggered to improve consistency in sound.
The phase of the oscillators is now also updated when the volume is at zero to prevent unexpected changes when they are turned on again.
New phase offset slider added to control the initial phase when oscillators are synced/restarted.
Reworked MIDI note handling.
Key assign modes added:
- REUSE: reuse already playing voices with the same MIDI note.
- NEW: assigns MIDI notes to new voices if available.
ARP now works correctly in polyphonic mode.
