DiscoDSP Corona
Synthesizer Virtual Instrument
Dive into sound synthesis with discoDSP Corona, blending Virtual Analog and Wave Synthesis.
Featuring three VA/WAVE oscillators and Roland JP8080 modeled Super 7 unison, Corona lets you craft signature sounds.
Enjoy 16 oscillator combine modes, a 32-step arpeggiator, and dual zero-delay feedback filters for unmatched analog quality.
With 8 modulation matrix destinations, 4 LFOs, 3 ADSR envelopes, and integrated effects like distortion and chorus, Corona turns every track into a masterpiece.
Multi-Size GUI
Corona graphics are configurable in four window sizes: 75%, 100%, 150% and 200% (sizes bigger than screen resolution will limit zoom options).
Unique Oscillator Modes
Oscillators can be combined using operators. There are 12 for Phase mode or 16 for Detune mode (DT) including:
- Classic Additive
- Subtractive
- Multiplicative
- Pythagorean
- Sync
- Ring Modulation
- Phase Modulation
Bitwise Modes
Corona oscillator's bitwise modes provide synth musicians with a unique and versatile sound-shaping tool.
By applying operations like standard and absolute AND, OR, XOR to the waveform data at the binary level, you can create complex, evolving timbres that differ from traditional additive or subtractive synthesis.
These bitwise operations alter the waveforms in unconventional ways, producing gritty, digital textures and rhythmic variations that can add a distinctive edge to your music.
Combining classic synthesis techniques with these digital manipulations allows for a broad palette of sonic possibilities, making the Corona oscillator a powerful and creative instrument.
Custom SF2/WAV Oscillators
Add your SoundFont 2 or WAV files to Corona oscillators and boost timbres to never-before-heard levels.
Import them using Edit > File > Import Wave or drag and drop one or several files to the GUI.
Create additional categories by adding new folders with a .dwb extension and keep your tones organized.
Incredible Filters
14 different filter types, 2-pole and 4-pole each with selectable tahn, poly, asym1, asym2, asy3, hardlimit, polywrap, asymwrap, quantize and asymquantize shapes.
Includes filter positive and negative drive, keytracking, selectable pre-post volume envelope stage.
Experience new generation liquid sounding zero delay feedback filters enabling ALT button.
Fat, Easy, Mix-Standing Unison
Dedicated Unison unit to make sounds spread across the stereo mix with selectable octave spread, voices, detune knob and panning spread controls.
Use Super 7 Unison mode with saw, parabolic, square, triangle or sine waveforms to get the classic Super Saw sound.
