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.
Improved DSP
Refined Oscillators: Discover unparalleled quality with our Discovery Pro 8 oscillators. Now upgraded to 12-bit resolution from 9-bit, and with a wave lookup size that's doubled, they deliver exceptionally smooth and richly detailed sounds across all frequencies. Perfect for musicians and producers focused on crystal-clear audio quality and versatile sound creation.
Advanced Distortion Modes: Our Discovery Pro 8 distortion modes are now four times more precise, adding rich depth and character to your productions.
Analog-Sounding Filters: We've updated several filters to emulate analog warmth and texture, now offering twice the richness.
Enhanced Preset Management with Disk Mode
Navigate effortlessly through presets and folders in our newly introduced Disk Mode: This feature allows users to browse presets within 'Documents > discoDSP > Discovery Pro > Presets > Programs' folder with ease. Toggle between Bank and Disk Modes with a simple click on the LCD's BNK letter. For added convenience, we've integrated new file preset export functions in the Edit menu.
Expanded Preset Library: Dive into a world of sonic exploration with our expanded preset library, filled with fresh and inspiring sounds.
Revamped PADsynth re-synthesis
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.
Top Unison Around
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.
Linux support
DAW software like Bitwig or Renoise has been getting better and better at a very fast rate lately. Discovery Pro is committed to support the progressively popular OS amongst musicians in 64-bit flavours.
Multi-size GUI (Retina ready)
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.
WAVE oscillator
Add new waveforms and wavetables in DWB banks, WAV (16 / 24-bit) or SoundFont 2.04 (SF2) formats easily.
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.
Zero Delay Nord Lead 2 and Moog® filters
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.
Graphic Modulation envelopes
Take your sound palette to high degree sound shaping. Just click and hold your mouse to draw time-synced mod destinations and get fresh textures.
TouchOSC Template
Program Discovery Pro using your iPad or Android tablet and TouchOSC app with the template provided after purchasing.
