Basic Concepts Of “Discovery Pro 7.0”

Channel Limiting & Oversampling

You may now determine the number of channels used in the instrument by left-clicking the “voices” LED or at EDIT > Config. A dialog box will appear with the number of voices you wish to enable.

You can also select the oversampling mode:

  • 2X will make Discovery work internally at 88 Khz when your host is set to 44.1 Khz.
  • HQ Distortion will duplicate distortion’s internal frequency rate, depending on the oversampling mode mode.

Quick Program Select

Left-click program LCD panel to see a list of available patches.

Bank Browser

You are able to browse all the FXB banks by clicking the arrows in the status LCD or clicking the bank name to display a drop-down menu. WAV files can also be imported using EDIT > File > Import Wave function.

Morphing State Knob Editing

In normal mode, holding Ctrl/Cmd while moving the knob will modify morph sensibility. Behavior will be backwards when Morph mode is on

MIDI Aftertouch Knob Editing

MIDI Aftertouch can be assigned to any knob. Useful to control LFO speed, filter cutoff, resulting in more expressive sounds. To access Aftertouch mode simply hold Ukey while pressing A, B, C or D button. Layer led will start blinking. To go back to normal editing, press the Layer button again.

Fine Tune Knob Editing

To have more detailed parameter adjustments, hold the Shift key while moving the knob to edit both states. Shift and Ctrl keys can be used at once too.

LFO Sync To Host Tempo

Discovery’s LFO1, LFO2/Arpeggiator, Delay and Panning LFO can be synced your host tempo. To enable it, just click the led located next to the LFO knob or Delay amount.

Edit Operations

There are a set of editing operations available in “Discovery Pro 7.0”, clicking the EDIT button on your Discovery GUI offers the following options:

  • File: Imports or exports banks and patches. Also opens Data, Presets folder and Unison configuration for quick access
  • Copy, Paste, Randomize, Reset: Allows you to do simple editing operations over the current layer, preset, or even selected sections from the current preset
  • Unison: Applies values from text file unison.cfg
  • Rename: Renames current program name
  • Key Split: Allows the splitting and stacking of layers
  • Quick Stack: Allows active layer to navigate through other presets and banks without leaving the current program, loading first layer from others
  • Swap: Enables or disables MIDI Velocity to Program Morphing, FX section or use the classic chorus
  • Tempo Sync: Quickly sync to host tempo LFO1, LFO2, Panning, Delay sections or all of them at once
  • FX Bypass: Disables individual or all effects even after changing presets
  • Config: Selects global plugin polyphony, oversampling or high-quality distortion
  • GUI size: Switches window and all their elements between 3 sizes: 1x (400p), 1.5x (600p) and 2x (800p)
  • Help: Opens tutorials, manual and MIDI CC tables. Also displays Release number

Zone Presets

Zone presets allows each section to have their own presets based on the current state, so they can be stored for later use, allowing quicker preset design and getting better overall workflow.

Take Complete Control Of Your Sound With Layers, Morphing & Oscillators!

Layers

“Discovery Pro 7.0” can hold 128 patches at any one time. Each patch may contain up to 4 layers. Combining layers can be used to create complex sounds that simple subtractive synthesis cannot achieve.

Discovery Pro supports up to 128 polyphonic voices. If all 4 layers are enabled, a single note will count as 4 individual voices, reducing the actual polyphony to 8 in these instances. Fortunately, these are 8 extremely powerful sounds.

Parameter Morphing

Each layer contains two internal states: morph source and morph sensibility. Each state contains a unique set of all values. Morphing allows you to easily glide between these values.

Once both states have been defined, you can easily morph between them by assigning the Wheel MOD to MORPH mode. Once set, moving your mode wheel will morph between both states.

Global Layer Options

Oct Shift: Shifts pitch in octaves of the layer.

Pitch Bend: Pitch bender allows you to drastically change the pitch of the current patch in real-time. You can modify the pitch bend range from 1 to 48 semitones by clicking the LCD arrows or clicking numbers for a drop-down menu.

  • Modulation Wheel: Can be assigned to modulate the following parameters:
    • FLTR: Filter cutoff frequency.
    • FM: OSC2 to OSC1 frequency modulation amount.
    • OSC2: OSC2 pitch.
    • LFO1: LFO1 amount.
    • MORPH: Morph between source and destination morphing states.
  • CHR: Left-click the CHR button to enable Chorus, Phaser or both modes at once.
  • UNI: Enables Unison. 2 voices are used on POLY mode and 4 on LEGA/MONO.
  • Play Modes:
    • MONO: Only 1 voice of the synthesizer is used for the layer. In this mode any note played will discontinue the previous note.
    • LEGATO: A monophonic mode in which envelopes are not restarted when new keys are played.
    • POLY: Polyphonic mode allows multiple notes to be played at once.
  • Portamento: Portamento glides the pitch between the current note and a newly played note. The higher the value, the slower the transition progresses.
    • Auto: When enabled, glide/portamento will only be applied if overlapping notes are played (legato).

Oscillator Section

Oscillators are the basis of sound generation in subtractive synthesis. Discovery includes two primary oscillators, each with various modes and waveform types.

Below is a list of the waveforms available in “Discovery Pro 7.0” and their most common use cases:

  • Sine – FM, Leads, Percussion, Organs.
  • Triangle – FM, Smooth Sounds, Bass, Flutes.
  • Square – Smooth Basses, Leads, Synced Waves.
  • Parabolic – Smooth Sounds, Pads.
  • Noise – Ambient FX, Percussion.
  • Saw – Rough Bass, Edgy Leads.
  • Pulse – Vintage Synths, Pads.

Wave Oscillator (WAVE)

Discovery Pro offers a third oscillator, which adds dramatic sound design capabilities to your patches.

Controls for Wave oscillator are:

  • PAD Button: For any active wave, Discovery Pro will render a new waveform set using PAD synthesis. It will generate a perfectly looped and beautiful set of sounds, no matter what the source is.
  • Semitones: This knob allows you to shift the pitch of Waveforms from a wide range of semitones.
  • Fine Tune: Fine-tuning of loaded Waveforms from a range of semitones.

Add Movement & Life To Your Sounds With The Built-in Filters, LFOs & Effects!

Filter Section

Once oscillators are mixed, the sound is next routed through the Discovery filter section. This section will transform the frequency response of the signal. A filter is a unit that changes the magnitude of a range of frequencies of the sound, boosting or cutting these frequency values.

Basic Filter controls:

  • Frequency: or ‘cutoff’ point. This value sets the frequency point affected by the filter response.
  • Resonance: This value determines the amount of amplification of the range of frequencies surrounding the frequency (cutoff) point.

Modulation Section

Discovery Pro includes two LFO’s (Low Frequency Oscillators), a Modulation Envelope (with 2 stages and state variable amount control) and a Graphic Envelope Generator. LFO oscillators operate much like the basic Discovery oscillators, only at much slower speeds.

Amplifier

Discovery’s amplifier applies an envelope to the output gain of the current layer of sound. This is the final stage of synthesis. The following controls apply:

  • Attack: Controls for the time that envelope moves from note press (0) to full volume. (Does not apply to legato mode).
  • Decay: This knob controls the time length between envelope gain going from upper point (end of Attack) to Sustain level.
  • Sustain: Sets the point at which the envelope stays while note is held. This state is held until the note is released.
  • Release: Once the note is released, this knob will control the time in which the gain will fall from current envelope point (Sustain) into complete silence, finishing the voice use.
  • Gain: Adjusts the overall volume for the current layer. Use morphing to add dynamics.
  • Limiter: Applies a compressor with –Inf:1 ratio for the current layer.

Panning, Delay/Echo & Gate

Discovery has built-in stereo delay, panning and gate effect units.

Panning

This effect can be used to widen a sound or give it interesting panning effects per layer. You can sync Mod Rate to host tempo by clicking the led located next to Mod Rate knob.

  • Position: Position in the stereo field.
  • Modulation Rate: Controls the rate of the stereo modulation.
  • Modulation Amount: Controls the depth of the stereo modulation.

Delay/Echo

This effect can be used to add spacey echo effect, or widen a sound. You can sync Left/Right Delay to host tempo by clicking the led located between Left and Right knobs.

  • Level: Controls the amount of the delay effect. No Level value (knob turned completely to the left) will disable the delay effect. This control is morphable as well.
  • Left/Right Delay: Controls the delay time of the unit for each channel.
  • Left/Right Feedback: Controls the time of the delay tail. Moving this knob to the right will increase the tail.
  • Cross switch: Adds a cross-feed to the feedback output. This will result in a stereo bouncing delay, useful for 3d-alike effects.

Gate

Level: Controls the amount of the gate floor effect. No Level value (knob turned completely to the right) will disable gapper effect. This control is morphable and layer independent, suitable for complex sound textures.

  • Copy: Copies the current gate pattern to memory.
  • Paste: Dumps the gate pattern on memory to current gate.
  • Gate pattern: Controls the gate triggering.

Importing & Exporting SysEx

“Discovery Pro 7.0” can import or export SysEx patch dumps from software able to record MIDI SysEx data dumps. Keep in mind full bank patch imports will be placed into current selected layer.

Also, imported Nord Lead 2 sounds may sound slightly different. Performance and Percussion Kits dumps are not supported.
