Discovery Pro synthesizer 6.4 to 8.0

[briefcasemanx]

When the marketing copy is giving exact amounts like the oscillators or whatever are "twice" as detailed, does that just mean it moved from 32-bit to 64-bit processing, a difference no one will actually hear?

Our audio engine has always been operating at a 64-bit processing level, ensuring top-notch precision and audio quality. The recent enhancement we're excited about is not about shifting from 32-bit to 64-bit processing, but rather about doubling the size of our oscillator waveforms. This means that each waveform in our oscillator now contains twice as many sample points as before.

Here are the key advantages of this improvement:

1. Increased Resolution: With twice as many samples in each waveform, the resolution of the sound is significantly increased. This leads to finer detail in the sound production, allowing for more intricate and nuanced synthesis as well as much better low and high end.
2. Enhanced Sound Quality: The higher resolution translates into a smoother, more continuous sound. This is especially noticeable in complex or evolving waveforms, where the additional detail can make the sound more lifelike and organic.
3. Improved Harmonic Content: More samples in a waveform mean better representation of the harmonic content, which is crucial for rich and full-sounding tones. This is particularly beneficial for sounds that rely heavily on their harmonic characteristics, like pads, strings, and other textured sounds.
4. Consistent Performance: Despite this increase in waveform size, our engine's 64-bit processing ensures that the performance remains smooth and efficient. This means you can enjoy the enhanced sound quality without compromising on processing speed or system performance.

In summary, while our processing power remains at the robust 64-bit level, the significant increase in the size of our oscillator waveforms marks a substantial leap forward in the quality and capabilities of our sound synthesis, offering users a richer, more detailed, and expressive sound experience.

In addition to our enhancements in oscillator waveform size, it's important to highlight that our DSP (Digital Signal Processing) remains fully optimized for modern CPU architectures, including both Apple ARM and Intel x86.

This optimization enables our synthesizer to efficiently handle up to 128 voices per single CPU core. This capability ensures that even in complex projects with high voice counts, our software maintains excellent performance and stability, making it a highly scalable solution for both studio and live performance settings.

If the current pricing of Discovery Pro 8 update is a concern, we encourage you to keep an eye out for our sales. We regularly offer promotional discounts for our existing customers, as a way to make our products more accessible.

Hi Robot,
Are you saying the new direction DiscoDSP is taking is the same as Waves and SSL? Having a regular price out of this world to better advertise "80% off! Today only! Buy now!" to bring the price to what it actually should be to begin with?

that must have been really hard for you to do.

Meh...

"Doubling the size of our oscillator waveforms"
That doesnt sound like a hard thing to do. But can you hear the difference and whats the CPU consumption consequence then?

Why don't you make a ten time as large oscillator waveform then? That should make the sound 10 times better than a Nord Lead or?

It sounds more like crappy marketing hype if you ask me.

[SLiC]

Anyone done an A/B to see if they can hear any difference?

Add up all of major updates that have been released between the last major version and now, and you will see the value

The fact that no demos are offered to demonstrate the difference is a strong indication of marketing BS.

Never buy anything in the hope of what you may get in the future! I fell for that with Guitar Rig 6!

let's see...

nope. didn't work.

Hey SLiC, thanks for reaching out, we totally get that hearing is believing. Our team, along with some top-notch sound engineers, have given it the thumbs up. We've also put together Discovery Pro 8 demo at https://mp3.discodsp.com/back_in_space.flac for people to check out.

And just to clear up a common misconception – adding 10 times higher waveform data doesn't necessarily equate to 10 times better sound. The world of DSP is a bit more complex than that.

That's not exactly an A/B comparison ... more an A
