More in depth synth than a complex math

So I played one in real life once and I think this exceeds it for the amount of banks and libraries of so many categories, its the most I’ve seen besides like a full Sinclair. There are techno classics and arps and what I think are 4 or more actual preset banks. Official or something factory, so that’s all loaded and ready . You know back in the day that would be a task to dl and then load. I’m not sure but I think hardware had only one library and 4 banks per patch (which was still ace at time)I think each. Anyway this has improved al9t and I’ve not crashed it in my hyper lab synth simulation. The actual presets are varied and well crafted. I often am.blown away want to like reverse engineer them. The range of bell and percussive arpeggio and plucks to the best old school techno bass and on. Hails to it all seemingly Working well with midi as well. What synth I almost overlooked. Hails

Sounds Absolutely Amazing

This is a lot of fun to program and there are more presets than you’ll ever need. The sound that comes out of it is incredible. The latest update has added exposed MIDI parameters which makes automating inside of a DAW a breeze. One slight problem is with the UI, it doesn’t scale very well inside of AUV3 hosts, and it’s tedious to have to program synths outside of my production environment - but the devs are making improvements, and hopefully in future the remaining issues are ironed out. I’ll give a 5 star review then.

Thank you for exposing AU parameters!

Thank you so much for finally updating this synth with the exposed AU Parameters. This feature alone will bring back many users, and will make many of them very happy! Also very happy to see the improvements in the UI. Overall, a greatly improved user experience!

Toller Synth mit vielen Funktionen

Wirklich ein gelungener Synthesizer im Nord-Lead-Style. Hab selber mal einen besessen und fand mich sofort ordentlich zurecht. Hier und da hapert es noch ein wenig mit der Haptik (Regler reagieren manchmal nicht; iPad 9th Gen.). Wunderbar wäre es noch, wenn es eine MIDI-Learn-Funktion wie beim OB-Xd aus dem gleichen Haus geben würde. Vielleicht wäre das noch irgendwann möglich. Besten Dank :)

They fixed it!

I don’t know why it won’t let me edit my old review. But they fixed the UI code and now it’s super fast on my iPad Air 4. One of the very best synths on iPad now, thanks guys!! Runs and sounds amazing

Thank you for your detailed feedback! Currently, you can use MIDI CC mappings to modify parameters as a workaround while we work on implementing AUv3 parameter mappings. Regarding the GUI performance, the issue may be related to the iPad not utilizing Apple M-series graphics. We’re actively investigating this to improve performance across devices.

It Sounds Awesome

State saving doesn’t work. It’s not usable in any project until it’s fixed. ……I work in Drambo and AUM. It’s not about presets saving, it’s about when you close your project and reopen it, the preset has reset to 00 in whatever bank you’re in. If you only work in cubasis or logic, it will remember your settings, but not Drambo or AUM!

State saving works perfectly and is essential for the app’s functionality. Please ensure you’re saving your presets correctly.

Sehr feiner Synthesizer

Nach dem letzten update einfach nur top. Super schöner Analogsound.

Es tut uns leid zu hören, dass Sie Probleme mit AUM hatten. Es ist ein leistungsstarkes Tool mit einer gewissen Lernkurve, und wir helfen gerne weiter. Falls Sie Unterstützung benötigen, empfehlen wir Tutorials oder unseren Support.

Now it’s one of the best

The much needed fixes have transformed this synth into the very thing it was always meant to be. Before the fixes the UI was fairly dreadful but now it’s fast and responsive. Added to the fantastic selection of presets and brilliant modulation options, this is now up there with the best

Patch saving issue

It’s a great synth, just wouldn’t allow me to save any custom patches, the app states there are no banks to save too.

sloppy work!

Où est le mode favori pour les presets !!!?

Response from developer

Il n’y a pas de mode favori disponible. Nous vous recommandons de créer une nouvelle banque et d’y copier-coller les presets que vous souhaitez marquer comme favoris.

レイテンシーが！

第2世代のiPad Proで、鍵盤を弾いてから音が出るまで、致命的なズレがある。⋯⋯⋯同じ音を連打するとヒドイ。

Still Needs Some Work On IOS

My Stars are for 2.5. For the all of the mega presets included on initial purchase. However, there is no other way to reach this dev for IOS help so I am forced to leave it on here as the webpage needs an order number in order to proceed with any help!

The app needs a record function in the stand alone mode. There needs to be an easier way to save my own Presets without losing them altogether or being forced to overwrite an existing preset which I never want to do. How do we undo that function? How do I get my presets in my own bank without losing that new preset? This problem applies to both ios modes.

Please make both AuV3 and the standalone versions sync all functions simulataneously. Also, the gate window is so fiddly that it is currently unusable as are all the teeny sync lights. The UI on the AuV3 is so small making it very fiddly to work with so a larger UI would really help here. The UI could do with more polish to make the overall workflow easier and smoother. With so many preset choices which is a fabulous thing-the whole current preset navigation system and the saving of my new work leaves much to be desired. Please give this IOS synth more TLC and love as it will seems kinda-half baked right now. Looking forward to learn how to save my work on here from you.
Cheers, Elektrik Diva

Thank you for your feedback! Saving presets now includes a warning, and you can save them to another bank to avoid overwriting. We’re considering a recording function for standalone mode and are actively working on improving the UI, including scaling and usability for AUv3. Syncing standalone and AUv3 features is on our roadmap, and we’re exploring ways to make support access easier.

Thanks for the fix!

Thanks to the developer for fixing the Sysex import. Works like a charm now!
I think the last thing this synth needs is for the parameters to be exposed so they can be easily modulated in AUM or another AU host (Like they are in OB-XD 3) I’m pretty sure that would make a lot of people happy if this were possible. Still, even without that have to give 5 stars as the developer has been listening and improving this instrument, very appreciated.

Thank you for your kind words and support! We’re glad the Sysex import is working well for you. AUv3 parameter support is actively being worked on, and we’re excited to bring this functionality to enhance your experience.

NO MIDI

At this price point I only assumed it would have midi implementation just like all the other 50 plus synthesizer apps I have and a lot of them free. I can’t use this for serious production without midi in and cc control parameters. Just unacceptable and a huge surprise and letdown.

Thank you for your feedback. To clarify, Discovery itself includes MIDI In and CC control, plus an on-screen keyboard. When used in an AUv3 host, the host handles MIDI routing, so Discovery relies on the host for MIDI input. The app itself supports MIDI control, but AUv3 hosts manage the MIDI connection automatically. If you’re not seeing expected behavior, it might be a host setup issue.

better than a Nordlead 2

It is actually better sounding than the original Nord Lead 2 , because it has Zero Delay Feedback Filters (like analog synths). Would be great to also have Discovery Pro on iOS.

Big sound, big character

Very convincing emulation of the already-virtual-analogue Nord Lead 2, with tonnes of presets showcasing a powerful sound and unique character. Stands out among the many VA synths on iOS and cuts right through a mix, an instant favourite.

Für so eine Teure App, hätte ich erwartet, das es auch auf einem IPad mini funktioniert. Weiterhin wäre es toll gewesen wenn die GUI schärfer wäre. Die Sound sind top aber der Rest eher nicht.

Wir haben ein Update veröffentlicht, und die App ist jetzt zu 100 % mit dem iPad mini kompatibel (Apple M Chip wird empfohlen). Die Grafiken sind jetzt in Retina-Qualität. Vielen Dank für Ihr Feedback!

Best Synth on IOS ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I have always wanted a Nord Lead synth and now here it is on the App Store, the quality of the presets are outstanding, it’s got to be the best synth on iOS

Gonna be fantastic

Years ago I was on tour with a band mate who had a nord on his equipment rider, luckily the keyboard was always there in every city, but this app would be a handy alternative since it can load the nord files to take your actual sounds with you and control it with any MiDI keyboard.

The buttons are a little hard to press on the 11” iPad Pro (small on screen). It doesn’t have a full MIDI menu yet, but this developer is good with updates.

Output seemed a bit hot and I had to turn the master output down below 50% to match levels with my other gear and apps, not really a problem
