Bliss, Discovery Pro, OB-Xd, FX, Vertigo updated
We're pleased to announce updates across our product line, featuring FFT spectrum analysis, polyphonic unison modes, GPU-accelerated visualizations, and enhanced platform support.
Discovery Pro 8.12
Discovery Pro is the ultimate virtual analog synthesizer and sampler with 4 layers, 12 oscillators, SFZ/WAV/SoundFont support, PADSynth re-synthesis, and Nord Lead 2 SysEx import/export.
Version 8.12 introduces professional-grade FFT spectrum analysis, providing real-time frequency visualization alongside the existing oscilloscope waveform display.
What's New
- FFT Spectrum Analyzer Mode: New FFT spectrum analyzer mode with 30 Hz - 18 kHz logarithmic frequency range for precise frequency analysis. Smooth exponential decay animation creates oscilloscope-like behavior in both waveform and FFT modes. Added dedicated "Voice Display" menu for improved clarity and easy mode switching.
This update is free for all 8.x customers.
Bliss 3.5.3
Bliss is a professional sampler with VST/AU instrument recording capabilities, Visual Key Mapper, built-in wave editor, and comprehensive format support including AKAI S5000/S6000, NKI, EXS, SFZ, and SoundFont2.
Version 3.5.3 addresses critical Windows audio processing issues affecting chorus and reverb effects.
What's New
- Reverb Engine Fix: Fixed Windows-specific audio artifacts in chorus and reverb effects, ensuring pristine audio quality across all platforms.
This update is free for all Bliss 2.x and 3.x customers.
OB-Xd 3.15
OB-Xd is a classic virtual analog synthesizer that recreates the Oberheim OB-X with enhancements like micro random detuning, unison, and bi-directional MIDI control.
Version 3.15 introduces Analog Mode, a feature that adds per-voice component tolerances to simulate the natural imperfections of vintage analog hardware, bringing authentic warmth and character to the filter behavior.
What's New
- Analog Mode: Simulates analog hardware component variance, creating subtle differences between voices just like real analog circuits. Creates warmer, thicker, and more chorused sounds when multiple voices play together. Filter sweeps have more variation and "wobble," eliminating the digital perfection for a more organic, vintage sound. Analog Mode is stored per-bank, allowing different presets to use different analog characteristics. Toggle via the Programs menu.
- Filter & DSP Improvements: Fixed filter cutoff scaling issues when changing oversampling settings, ensuring consistent filter behavior across all oversampling modes.
- Preset Management Fixes: Resolved critical issue where parameter values would reset to defaults when reloading the same program, ensuring preset values remain stable across multiple loads. Fixed disk mode preset loading and folder selection with native macOS popups for better integration and reliability.
Vertigo 5.0.7
Vertigo is a powerful additive synthesizer with 512 partials, WAV/PNG image resynthesis, morphing capabilities, and real-time formant filtering.
Version 5.0.7 delivers significant GUI performance improvements with optimized rendering architecture.
What's New
- GUI Performance Improvements: Refactored asset system to use cell-based pre-rendered frames for faster rendering. Optimized knob rendering with multi-layer caching. Added static GUI layer caching to eliminate redundant redraws. Improved cache invalidation to rebuild only when parameters change.
- HiDPI Display Fixes: Fixed background rendering on Windows and Linux high-resolution displays for crisp, accurate visuals.
This update is free for all 5.x customers.
Scope 2.1 (FX Bundle 2.14)
Scope is a GPU-accelerated oscilloscope plugin with classic phosphor glow effects, circular visualization mode, and real-time waveform analysis.
Version 2.1 enhances the visualization experience with powerful zoom capabilities and improved iOS touch controls.
What's New
- Horizontal Zoom System: New dedicated slider for precise horizontal zoom adjustment from 1x to 10x magnification with logarithmic scaling. Focus on specific waveform details or compress longer audio segments for detailed frequency analysis and transient inspection.
- iOS Enhancements: Improved touch controls with dedicated zoom sliders that appear with config menu and properly auto-hide after 3 seconds. Enhanced gesture system prevents conflicts between color swipes and slider interaction for seamless touch experience on iPhone and iPad.
- Platform Optimizations: Unified label positioning ensuring consistent UI layout across desktop and iOS. Full OpenGL rendering pipeline with Metal backend on macOS for optimal performance. Disabled audio output for iOS standalone build ensuring App Store compliance and improved battery life.
This update is free for all FX Bundle customers.
