Experience Discovery Pro, the ultimate virtual analog synthesizer and sampler. With 4 layers, 12 oscillators, SFZ, WAV and SoundFont support, PADSynth re-synthesis, and Nord Lead 2 SysEx import/export, Discovery Pro offers endless sound creation options. Its arpeggiator, 12 filter types (including Nord Lead 2 and Moog filters), panning modulation, stereo delay, gate and step modulation effects provide unmatched control. Discovery Pro is perfect for any music production.
Discovery Pro surpasses its predecessor, Discovery, by delivering superior sound quality and features while retaining all existing capabilities.
It now features Unison, WAVE engine, 128-voice polyphony, PADSynth re-synthesis, 3 additional oscillators, 12 filters, over 5,000 presets, 100 banks, a standalone application, a graphical envelope, a scalable GUI, octave key split, aftertouch support, MIDI XML board templates, zone presets, Nord Lead 2 SysEx import/export (SysEx archive) and MTS-ESP micro-tuning.
Our team of experts put in countless hours of hard work and dedication to bring you the finest in discoDSP innovation in the form of this cutting-edge instrument.
Introduced in version 8.11, the Super 7 oscillator brings the legendary Roland JP-8080 supersaw algorithm to Discovery Pro. This classic trance sound engine stacks seven sawtooth oscillators (one master plus six detuned) to create massive leads and lush pads that defined an era of electronic music.
The Pulse Width knob controls detune amount, ranging from subtle string-like chorus to full supersaw spread. Animate your sound with LFO and Mod Envelope modulation via the standard PW destination. Choose between random phase per note for authentic JP-8080 character, or retriggered phase for consistent attack.
The Super 7 can still be combined with Unison for ultra-fat sounds that push the boundaries of sonic density. A green LED on the SAW button distinguishes Super 7 from Parabolic mode (blue LED), and the LCD displays control mapping reminders for instant workflow clarity.
Experience unmatched audio precision with our revolutionary 8x Oversampling engine, featuring advanced IIR/FIR filter architecture. The 8.7 update surpasses even high-end hardware synthesizers with unprecedented anti-aliasing performance, virtually eliminated digital artifacts, and exceptional transient response - all while maintaining perfect timing across all sample rates. Starting with version 8.10, 16x oversampling is now available in bounce settings for even higher quality offline rendering.
New Markov Chain Arpeggiator mode, blending the thrill of randomness with machine learning for a fresh musical experience. This mode uses a dynamic probability matrix that adapts as it plays, creating evolving, musically coherent patterns.
Unlike traditional random arpeggiation, it generates sequences where each note influences the next, adding depth and unpredictability. Plus, it integrates with the octave range parameter for dynamic vertical movement. Perfect for atmospheric soundscapes or melodic inspiration, this feature brings intelligent unpredictability to your compositions.
Starting with version 8.4, experience lightning-fast processing with our latest oscillator optimizations! We've turbocharged our filter and oscillator code for superior performance on both x86 and Apple ARM processors.
Generating incredibly beautiful sounds from WAVE waveforms and imported waves, PADsynth now includes significant enhancements for an even better sound generation experience.
With the introduction of a 4-sample fade-in and fade-out, clicks during rendering have been eliminated, ensuring smoother looping of sounds.
The rendering time has been extended from 6 to 24 seconds, accommodating longer and more complex sounds. Furthermore, PADsynth files now feature 'loop enabled' and 'loop point' tags in the SFZ format, enhancing compatibility with a wide range of third-party samplers.
These updates elevate PADsynth's usability, making it easier than ever to create ensembles, choirs, bells, and many other sounds. Perfectly looped wavetable samples are rendered as SFZ, offering users a versatile tool for sound creation.
The new Nord Lead 2 modeled unison feature has been meticulously calibrated for both Polyphonic and Legato/Mono modes, it delivers a sound that closely mirrors the original hardware's perfection.
Currently, version 8.5 provides access to all detune modes available on the Nord Lead 2.
Discovery Pro graphics engine is configurable in three window sizes: 1x (400p), 1.5x (600p) and 2x (800p).
No more squinting when trying to look at some parameter or search for a led anymore! Of course CPU has been dramatically optimised at any configuration.
Easily add new waveforms and wavetables to DWB banks in WAV (16/24-bit) or SoundFont 2.04 (SF2) formats, including SFZ since release 8.5.
Since it's not virtual analog synthesis we took extreme care of it by adding one of the best interpolation algorithms, resulting in very little aliasing and extraordinary resampling quality.
Discovery Pro includes Nord Lead 2 modeled Zero Delay Feedback filters. They sound amazingly great.
Moog filters are called X and Y, bringing a more sophisticated tone in addition to the 8 previous Discovery filters.
