Discovery Pro from discoDSP is a virtual analog synth and sampler inspired by the classic Nord Lead line. It runs inside your DAW as a plugin and also as a standalone app on macOS. Producers reach for it for leads, basses, pads and sampled sounds, and four layers in every patch let one preset carry real weight in a mix.

Key Features

• Four layers with twelve oscillators, including the Super 7 supersaw for wide trance leads
• Filter models drawn from Nord Lead, Moog Ladder and Oberheim SEM hardware designs
• Sample playback for WAV, SFZ, SoundFont and Nord Sample Library files inside your patches
• Thousands of factory presets across many banks for strong starting points
• MPE and polyphonic aftertouch support for expressive playing with modern controllers

How to Download

1. Download from the official site and choose the macOS installer or demo.
2. Run the installer and select the plugin formats your DAW needs during setup.
3. Open your DAW, load Discovery Pro on a track and activate it with your licence.

System Requirements

Discovery Pro needs macOS 12 Monterey or later and works on both Intel and Apple silicon Macs. It runs in hosts that support AU, VST, VST3 or AAX plugins, and it can also run on its own. An internet connection is needed once to activate the licence.
