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, 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.
