🔥 Powerful Multi-Layer Hybrid Synthesis Engine

Discovery Pro features a professional-grade synthesis architecture designed for complex and expressive sound creation.

Key Sound Engine Features

🎚️ 4 Layer Multi-Timbral Architecture
🎚️ 12 Oscillators Per Patch
🎚️ 128-Voice Polyphony
🎚️ Advanced WAVE Engine

Each patch can contain multiple layered sounds, allowing producers to build massive synth stacks, evolving pads, and complex hybrid instruments.

✨ Create lush atmospheres, powerful basslines, cinematic textures, and modern electronic leads with exceptional sonic depth.

🎹 Legendary Super 7 Supersaw Engine

Discovery Pro includes the Super 7 oscillator, inspired by the legendary Roland JP-8080 supersaw algorithm.

Super 7 Features

🎶 Seven stacked saw oscillators (1 main + 6 detuned)
🎶 Pulse Width detune control for massive stereo width
🎶 Random or repeating oscillator phase modes

This engine produces the iconic trance leads and huge supersaw pads that defined an entire generation of electronic music.

🔥 Combine Super 7 with Unison to create ultra-dense synth stacks that push sonic limits.

🌊 Advanced Sampling & Wavetable Support

Discovery Pro goes beyond virtual analog by integrating advanced sampling and waveform engines.

Supported Sample Formats

📂 WAV (16-bit / 24-bit)
📂 SoundFont 2 (SF2)
📂 SFZ instrument format

Import your own waveforms and build custom synthesizer instruments using Discovery Pro’s powerful WAVE generator engine.

✨ High-quality interpolation ensures minimal aliasing and crystal-clear resampling.

🧠 PADSynth Resynthesis Technology

Create beautiful evolving textures and atmospheric sounds using the powerful PADSynth resynthesis engine.

PADSynth Improvements

✔ Enhanced waveform rendering quality
✔ Longer rendering time (up to 24 seconds)
✔ Improved looping with fade-in and fade-out smoothing

This feature is ideal for generating choirs, bells, pads, orchestral textures, and evolving ambient soundscapes.

🎛️ 16 High-Quality Analog-Style Filters

Shape your sound with 16 professional filter models, including some of the most iconic analog filter designs.

Included Filter Models

🎚️ Nord Lead 2 Zero Delay Feedback Filters
🎚️ Moog® Ladder Filters (12dB & 24dB)
🎚️ Oberheim SEM Filters (Classic & Raw)
🎚️ Additional Discovery Filter Types

These filters feature advanced nonlinear modeling and zero-latency feedback, delivering warm analog tone and musical resonance.

Adaptive Filter Slope

Discovery Pro introduces Adaptive Filter Slope, automatically adjusting between 12dB and 24dB slopes based on MIDI note zones and playing intensity.

✨ This creates tighter bass, balanced mids, and brighter highs during performance.

⚡ Professional 8x / 16x Oversampling Engine

Discovery Pro features a high-precision 8x oversampling engine with advanced IIR/FIR filter architecture.

Oversampling Benefits

✔ Virtually zero digital aliasing
✔ Improved transient response
✔ Cleaner high-frequency detail

For offline rendering, users can enable 16x oversampling for ultra-high-quality audio output.

🥁 Built-In Drum & Percussion Programming Mode

Discovery Pro includes a dedicated Percussion Mode, transforming the synthesizer into a professional drum workstation.

Percussion Mode Features

🥁 10 ready-made drum kits included
🥁 Intelligent drum key mapping (C2–B5)
🥁 Dedicated editing zones for each drum element

White keys trigger drum sounds while black keys allow quick parameter editing for each drum part.

🎶 Markov Chain Arpeggiator

Explore new musical ideas using the intelligent Markov Chain arpeggiator mode.

Unlike traditional random arpeggiators, this system uses a dynamic probability matrix that evolves while you play.

Key Benefits

🎼 Self-evolving musical patterns
🎼 Intelligent note transitions
🎼 Dynamic octave movement

✨ Perfect for creating ambient sequences, melodic inspiration, and evolving electronic patterns.

🎚️ Enhanced DSP & Sound Quality

Discovery Pro 8 introduces major improvements to its DSP engine, delivering even higher sound fidelity.

DSP Enhancements

✔ 12-bit oscillator resolution (upgraded from 9-bit)
✔ Expanded wave search resolution
