discoDSP has announced the release of Discovery Pro 8.8, delivering significant performance optimizations, enhanced oscillator interpolation quality, and improved SysEx import capabilities. YouTube.com/watch?v=EhqAaBFlCWo What's New in 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. This update is free for existing 8.x customers and available now in AAX, AU, VST2, VST3, and standalone formats for Windows, macOS, and Linux.
