Hello,

Edit: Demo is now available and pre-order offer will finish quite soon, so better take advantage of this!

We have a Discovery 2.6 demo available. Official release will follow in a couple of days. If you order Discovery v2.5 now, you will get a free update to v2.6. We also have a limited offer at KVR with a nice discount.

What's new
Added: Unison edit.
Added: Full VST 2.4 SDK compatibility. (Now works perfectly with FL6).
Added: Further SSE optimizations resulting in less CPU consumption.
Added: Full Multi-core CPU compatibility.
Added: MIDI sustain pedal support.
GUI: Pitch bend and filter drop-down menus (clicking status LEDs).

Demo can be downloaded at http://www.discodsp.com/discovery/
Any feedback will be appreciated, thanks.

New unison mode sounds great. Thanks. I wish you'd expand the UI a bit so some of the menu functions had dedicated controls (unison, randomize, oversampling etc).

Glad I bought this a while ago.

but a better synth

So still no simultaneous editing of parameters? :/

The unison mode is a step up, but I still have to select it every single time I move a knob. And then go in and change the pan and detune settings.

if I select Triple unison then Quad or QuadSub.. I no longer get any sound.. the noise hiss (demo mode) will sound... and the cpu meter is active.. but there is absolutely no sound..

even when I switch to single or double unison there is still no notes sounded...

also.. will there be a way to control the unison detune amount on final release??

I see the problem.. when I select the unison Quad.. the Gain parameter automatically jumps to 0 (off)

If you open unison.cfg with a text editor like notepad you will notice presets can be added and edited.

A new version is up. It seems unison file got corrupted somehow and wasn't working properly.

... I REALLY like this synth, man - nice work! In considering the special offer, or even were I to miss it, however - I must ask; Is the "not for commercial use" restriction in the licensing agreement, for the demo version only, or is it applicable to registered versions as well? I noted this restriction within HighLifes license as well. I do understand your covering your ass, with regards to "sampling" potentialities, that can be exploited with your offerings, but - how far does it go?

thanks

I would just want to know WHO would come sue me if I did use it commercially? Anything I pay for I'd want to be able to use commercially. If it's a freebie, and I can't, I can understand, but not if I pay good money.

Of course commercial use is allowed when you buy Discovery. We do not allow that with demo versions only.
