DiscoDSP Discovery
Synthesizer Virtual Instrument
Introducing Discovery Virtual Analog Synthesizer, a powerful and versatile synthesizer inspired by the classic Nord Lead 2.
With its 64-bit Audio Units / VST / VST3 compatibility, Discovery is a must-have for any music producer or composer looking to elevate their sound.
With 4 layers and 8 oscillators with sync and FM options, Discovery allows you to create complex and intricate sounds with ease.
The built-in arpeggiator gives you the ability to add dynamic and rhythmic elements to your compositions, adding depth and energy to your music.
Discovery features 8 filter types, including Zero-Delay Feedback DSP, allowing you to shape your sounds in new and exciting ways.
The panning modulation, stereo delay, and gate effects give you the ability to create lush and immersive soundscapes that will transport your audience to new musical dimensions.
For those familiar with the Nord Lead 2, Discovery makes it easy to import your SysEx data, giving you immediate access to all your favorite sounds and presets.
Whether you're looking to create new and exciting music or simply looking for an inspiring virtual analog synthesizer, the Discovery is the perfect tool for your musical journey.
Discovery's architecture provides maximum flexibility when programming your own sounds.
Start by selecting from the two oscillators, and then add one of the several types of filters, and then program the appropriate ADSR envelope for the sound.
Finally, the flexible modulation scheme and built-in effects allow you to color your sound to your liking and save it to one of the 128 patch memories in one of 40 banks offering more than 3,500 presets, including a dedicated electronic percussion section.
With support for 4 layers per patch, and morphing between layers, Discovery quickly becomes a remarkably expressive synth for any type of music.
Nord Lead's Best Friend
Discovery has been highly inspired by one of Clavia's synth masterpieces: the Nord Lead 2.
Discovery can import Nord Lead 2 and Nord Lead 2X Sysex patches directly, and 99% of their MIDI CC are bound to the original Nord Lead knobs, making your hardware synth the perfect friend for this plugin.
