January 1, 2026
Bliss, Discovery Pro, OB-Xd, FX, Vertigo updated

We're pleased to announce updates across our product line, featuring FFT spectrum analysis, polyphonic unison modes, GPU-accelerated visualizations, and enhanced platform support.

Discovery Pro 8.12

Discovery Pro is the ultimate virtual analog synthesizer and sampler with 4 layers, 12 oscillators, SFZ/WAV/SoundFont support, PADSynth re-synthesis, and Nord Lead 2 SysEx import/export.

Version 8.12 introduces professional-grade FFT spectrum analysis, providing real-time frequency visualization alongside the existing oscilloscope waveform display.

What's New

• FFT Spectrum Analyzer Mode: New FFT spectrum analyzer mode with 30 Hz - 18 kHz logarithmic frequency range for precise frequency analysis. Smooth exponential decay animation creates oscilloscope-like behavior in both waveform and FFT modes. Added dedicated "Voice Display" menu for improved clarity and easy mode switching.

This update is free for all 8.x customers.

 

Bliss 3.5.3

Bliss is a professional sampler with VST/AU instrument recording capabilities, Visual Key Mapper, built-in wave editor, and comprehensive format support including AKAI S5000/S6000, NKI, EXS, SFZ, and SoundFont2.

Version 3.5.3 addresses critical Windows audio processing issues affecting chorus and reverb effects.

What's New

• Reverb Engine Fix: Fixed Windows-specific audio artifacts in chorus and reverb effects, ensuring pristine audio quality across all platforms.

This update is free for all Bliss 2.x and 3.x customers.

 

OB-Xd 3.14.2

OB-Xd is a classic virtual analog synthesizer that recreates the Oberheim OB-X with enhancements like micro random detuning, unison, and bi-directional MIDI control.

Version 3.14.2 enhances MIDI stability with critical bank select and program change fixes.

What's New

• MIDI Stability Improvements: Fixed MIDI CC LSB 32 Bank Change issues resolving crashes in DAWs when receiving MIDI program change or bank select messages. Improved bank select bounds checking to properly clamp to available banks instead of wrapping around.

 

Vertigo 5.0.7

Vertigo is a powerful additive synthesizer with 512 partials, WAV/PNG image resynthesis, morphing capabilities, and real-time formant filtering.

Version 5.0.7 delivers significant GUI performance improvements with optimized rendering architecture.

What's New

• GUI Performance Improvements: Refactored asset system to use cell-based pre-rendered frames for faster rendering. Optimized knob rendering with multi-layer caching. Added static GUI layer caching to eliminate redundant redraws. Improved cache invalidation to rebuild only when parameters change.
• HiDPI Display Fixes: Fixed background rendering on Windows and Linux high-resolution displays for crisp, accurate visuals.

This update is free for all 5.x customers.

 

Scope 2.1 (FX Bundle 2.14)

Scope is a GPU-accelerated oscilloscope plugin with classic phosphor glow effects, circular visualization mode, and real-time waveform analysis.

Version 2.1 enhances the visualization experience with powerful zoom capabilities and improved iOS touch controls.

What's New

• Horizontal Zoom System: New dedicated slider for precise horizontal zoom adjustment from 1x to 10x magnification with logarithmic scaling. Focus on specific waveform details or compress longer audio segments for detailed frequency analysis and transient inspection.
• iOS Enhancements: Improved touch controls with dedicated zoom sliders that appear with config menu and properly auto-hide after 3 seconds. Enhanced gesture system prevents conflicts between color swipes and slider interaction for seamless touch experience on iPhone and iPad.
• Platform Optimizations: Unified label positioning ensuring consistent UI layout across desktop and iOS. Full OpenGL rendering pipeline with Metal backend on macOS for optimal performance. Disabled audio output for iOS standalone build ensuring App Store compliance and improved battery life.

This update is free for all FX Bundle customers.
