discoDSP Discovery Pro 8: update 8.11 adds Supersaw algorithm and more to the Nord Lead 2 emulation on steroids - December 15,2025

discoDSP Discovery Pro 8.11 is a free update for 8 users, adding a new Supersaw oscillator algorithm, an improved gate sequencer, and more. Following the substantial 8.10 update to Discovery Pro in November, discoDSP is releasing version 8.11, adding powerful new features.

A highlight is the addition of the Roland JP-8080-style supersaw algorithm with seven stacked sawtooth oscillators for massive trance leads and pads. This is available for both oscillators (1 & 2) with full unison compatibility for additional stereo width.

You can fully control, including the phase mode that gives you a random phase per note, like in the JP-8080 or a retriggered phase for consistent attack.

Then, you can work with a new oscilloscope waveform display that provides real-time stereo visualization with an LED glow effect and dynamic brightness. There is also a new master volume VU meter, modulation indicators, and more, providing additional visual feedback.

Another addition is a third panning mode: voice note panning mode. It positions notes in the stereo field based on the MIDI note number (low notes left, high notes right). You can add stereo movement to this with the rate controls that control a dynamic drift LFO.

Another highlight is an updated gate sequencer, which can retrigger notes. It has four states per step: off, gate, retrigger, and gate+retrigger. It’s fully customizable with independent editing modes.

Furthermore, Discovery Pro 8.11 benefits from arpeggiator improvements (gate retrigger now works better), workflow and performance enhancements, and optimizations.

An excellent end-of-year update, especially the Supersaw oscillator, which expands sound design possibilities.
Update 8.11 is a free update for existing discoDSP Discovery Pro 8 users and is available on the official website.
