Discovery is a virtual analog synthesizer inspired by the Nord Lead 2. Four layers, eight oscillators with sync and FM, a built-in arpeggiator, eight zero-delay feedback filter types, unison, panning modulation, stereo delay, and gate effects.
Two oscillators per layer with 2x oversampling for cleaner highs and tighter low end, eight zero-delay feedback filter types, ADSR per stage, and 3,500+ presets across 40 banks of 128, including an electronic percussion section.
Up to four layers per patch with morphing between them. Native Apple Silicon.
Discovery is modeled after the Clavia Nord Lead 2.
Imports Nord Lead 2 and 2X SysEx patches directly. 99% of the original CC map is preserved, so a Nord Lead hardware unit drives Discovery one-to-one as a controller.
Most controls have a single-click shortcut. The reference below covers the ones that aren't obvious from the panel.
