discoDSP Discovery Pro

Discovery Pro at a glance

Discovery Pro archives even higher quality and features than his small cousin Discovery, retaining all previous functionalities. We spent countless hours of hard coding, design and engineering, bringing the best discoDSP team work in the form of a new instrument.

Standalone app

We offer a Mac standalone app for those who don't really need a full DAW to run our plug-in. Windows and Linux will arrive later on.

VST3 support

We included Steinberg's VST3 plug-in architecture for Mac and Windows, supporting multi-channel and better management of multi-processing in 32 and 64-bit platforms.

The best stock sounds

You will find more than 60 banks and 5000+ presets.

Unison

A Nord Lead 2 modeled unison is now introduced after more than a year on the making. We have carefully measured Polyphonic and Legato/Mono to bring a sound as perfect as possible based on the original hardware.

Multi-size GUI

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.

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 32 and 64-bit flavours.

PADsynth re-synthesis

Generating incredibly beautiful sounds from WAVE waveforms and imported waves. Perfectly looped wavetable samples rendered as SFZ.

WAVE and PADsynth

PADsynth generates ensembles, choirs, bells and many other sounds easily.

2 new oscillators

Even broader sonic palette. A new parabolic waveform will be bliss for beautiful pads, soft sounds and new FM tones.

Pink noise brings that warm and lovely sound from classic synthesizers.

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 12dB / 24dB Moog® filters

Discovery Pro 6 includes brand new 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.
