discoDSP have updated Discovery Pro, currently available for $199.00.
What’s new in version 8.8:
- VA Oscillator Interpolation Engine Upgrade
- Upgraded from linear to cubic interpolation using optimized Lagrange polynomials for superior audio quality.
- Implemented waveform-specific interpolation: linear for sine (70% faster), quintic for saw/square (better anti-aliasing), cubic for others.
- Added FMA (Fused Multiply-Add) optimizations for all interpolation calculations.
- Enhanced prefetching strategy optimized for desktop CPUs with larger cache hierarchies.
- Significant reduction in aliasing artifacts, especially noticeable in high-frequency content.
- Performance Optimizations
- Optimized Tanh saturation implementation: eliminated floor overhead, added precomputed scale constants.
- Enhanced main filter DSP with FMA optimizations and branchless operations.
- Added new compiler optimization flags for Windows, macOS, and Linux builds.
- Implemented frame pointer optimizations for better performance.
- Improved ARM SIMD performance.
- Nord Lead 2/2x Import Enhancements
- Added support for Nord Lead 2/2x Performance program import (4-layer programs).
- Performance programs automatically configure with dual keysplit mode (AB/CD split).
- Multi-program SysEx files now prompt for bank reset with proper confirmation.
- Improved SysEx parsing with better error handling and file structure validation.
- Markov Arpeggiator Enhancements
- Enhanced Markov chain arpeggiator with user input learning capabilities.
- Added multi-scale pattern recognition (short, medium, and long patterns).
- Implemented velocity and timing pattern learning from user performance.
- Improved pattern blending based on context and number of active notes.
