We are living in great times. No excuses. So many great tools. This adds to that
Yes more about Discovery Pro 8.
Wow, i forgot how it can sounds. Maybe the best VST synth Gui i ever saw
The physical synth is a joy to use as well. Combined with the pitchstick it feels like a legitimate instrument. The stick is closer to a real fretless string than ribbon controller or MPE is to me.
Layout is a poly Pro-One on steroids, super fast to program.
DiscoDSP's layouts are great!
I played with a Nord Lead 2 in a store back in 2006 and I was instantly impressed and a bit intimidated by it. Its a bucket list synth for me. Discovery Pro really sounds great but I'll forever want that red synth with the weird wheel thing.
Don't blame you! And considering the plugin costs 1/3rd a Nord Lead 2 I would probably go with the hardware too. That weird wheel is worth a lot!
I always wanted a nord. I don't fancy keeping a twenty five year old synth maintained. You never know when something will need repairing.
This new one looks super cool. Any thing can break, but one less thing to worry about if its new and still in warranty.....
First time I heard about this soft synth because of this review, so thanks for that! I'm testing the demo since a few days now and I freakin' love it so far, I think it's a terrific little beast of a soft synth. Planning to get it for sure, mostly for super mellow organic pads and some icy drones. The Pad resynthesis function is brilliant and really fun to mess with for happy accidents. I don't care if it's not 100% accurate to the real thing, doesn't matter cause I think it's sounds fantastic. Very cool discovery for me :)
I'm glad you are enjoying it. It's crazy how many sounds are in there 🤯
This is a pro-level demo and man it's sounding so good. The Lead/Discovery does house and that tidy offbeat electro stuff so easily that's usually in presets and demos but it's just a beautiful all around polysynth.
I think you see the light now. Might not be as good as Virus for extreme trance sounds or ebm cyber vibe but this especially in highly playable, compact instrument form is more versatile and sounds better. The 4 layers right the next to the pitchstick and wheel. A1 might be streamlined like a Cobalt8 on steroids but it sounds more dynamic and/or warmer than most and the effects are still world class for traditional flavors. I suggest Lead 4 or 2X unless someone really wants the osc setup and effects of A1.
wow ♥Amazing sounds ♦♥♪
Bought this synth when it first came out in 1998 never sold it , the keyboard bed sucks but the sound and the knobs are absolutely fun to play. Thanks for the information on getting that sound in a vst been waiting 20 years for this !
So glad DiscoDSP sent it over to me 🙏
Awesome. I better get back to work now. Lol
YO!! As you already know I love vintage beasts like you do but one of the few digital synths in my collection that I'll never sell is my Nord 2x rack. Its a sick synth with a thin yet powerful sound that can cut thru the thick fuzzy tones of the vintage beasts... its so versatile, modulation is crazy and its 4 part multitimbral
Then I will be very, very interested to hear what you think about Discovery and if it nails the sound of the Nord Lead 2x or not.
@@VultureCultureI have the Nord Rack 2X as well, and I have to say this latest version of Discovery sounds amazing! My 2X is hooked up to a DAWless setup but now you have me considering using it as a controller for the plugin. I was always envious of the Virus owners, but this is kicking serious ass. The Lead 2X has 24-bit sound, which was pro audio back in the day, and Discovery nails that surgical crispy brilliant high end and great FM. There are a bunch of Prophet copycat presets in there that have their own character too, although why would you use those unless you want to play in a cover band. I love using MIDI clock to sync LFO 1 and using a keystep pro to sequence drum patches. Not a Virus, but lots of fun to play. The manual teaches synthesis basics, too, although Jim Aikin of Keyboard magazine was the boss for that.
@Jean-PierreBisnaire so awesome to hear!
I’m new to your channel, and I love your content. I was not aware of how deep and wide synth content could be. I know this is off the topic of this vid, but what are your thoughts on the Nord Stage 4? Thanks.
I admit that I am ignorant to the workstation side of the synth world. I don't get the appeal of the Nord Stage series, aside from having massive amounts of sounds without a laptop. I can't help but feel it's overpriced.
Thank you for your comment and welcome 🙏🙏🙏
I own a Nord Rack 2X. Disco DSP gets about 80% there to my ears. The filter on the hardware is WAY silkier. (Don't get me wrong, im a huge supporter of DiscoDSP, just purchased the update yesterday :)
I don't have a 2 or 2X but it would be fun to do a comparison

Maybe I should keep my Nord Lead 2. I bought it in 2002 and then didn't play it much. What was I thinking?
I just ordered the upgrade to 8.1
And a UDO Super 6 arriving on Tuesday to keep the other hardware synths company and do a few sounds for me.
Does it oversample now by default, or is it up to you to enable/disable it?
By default
How can I add the sounds I like to favorites?
You could make your own favorites folder like the one I made in the video.
What's going on with all these soft synths lately? I'm talking about Softube, GForce, SonicProjects OP-X PRO-3, DiscoDSP's OB-Xd 3.0 now this. Seems they made the big jump in sound quality. Great job.
Idk if some secret new technology was discovered but I agree with you, things are sounding great!
Will the banks work with my actual nord rack?
If i recall well nord 2 and vice versa
I actually don't know how the compatibility of patches works, but it looks like the Nord 2 responds to midi and sysex, not the file types that are stored by the plugin. But I'd be happy to be wrong!
Wooowwww, ok so this VST is crazy cool but I have a Hardware NL2X do I need the VST version⁉️⁉️
Only if you'd prefer the workflow of a vst vs hardware
@@VultureCulture LOL I’m hybrid when it comes to VST and Hardware, my buddies want me to go full Hardware but I’ll save the 200 bucks on this one but it looks cool nonetheless, thanks again‼️🙏🏾🔥
Is this like a Kiwi/Gigli for a Nord Rack 2?
It's a VST recreation
@@VultureCulture a VST of a VA...well I've seen it all now.
Nord rack 2 is one of my fav synths, over some mediocre real analogues.
A very cool virtual analogue.
nord 3 was awful and 4 is great, but top one was 2@@VultureCulture
Was this at all sponsored by discoDSP??? Did they approach you to do this for them? Were you compensated for this video by discoDSP? How about doing a video comparing the sound of version 7 against the drastically improved sound of version 8?
This was a sponsored video from DiscoDSP.
The demo is good, the synth also. The only turn off is the dev’s attitude towards customers. The synth sound totally like v 7, but dev
charged a ton for a ghost update bullying costumers who point this out.
While based on the Nord architecture this sounds nothing like a Nord Lead. The NL hardware blows this thing away!
They havent added anything to the FM engine.
Sounds good, but they really need to update the gui like Corona Synth. Its 2024 not 2004.
Editing my comment : Looks like the GUI is now resizable, but only 2 sizes. Guess it's better than nothing. It does indeed sound very good though, but definitely needs more modulation options. For 200$ though? Hell to the NO.
sounds like the red machines....
Nice emulation, the DiscoDSP stuff is very good, but 199,- is too much in the light of around 550,- for a second hand hardware unit.
Nord Lead 4 and A1, used but mint would happily pay $1000-1500 USD. Mint 2X I'd pay 700, NL3 probably $1K.
People underestimate the difficulty of creating a great software synthesizer. Discodsp is not a big company that can make back a lot of money on high sales volume. The guy is not Cherry Audio.
Still no favourite option?
