discoDSP updates OB-Xd synth to v3.14

discoDSP has updated OB-Xd synth to version 3.14. OB-Xd 3.14 introduces polyphonic unison mode - a major enhancement allowing multiple notes to be played simultaneously with stacked voices per note, unlocking more evolving chords and complex textures. What's New: Polyphonic Unison: Previously, unison forced monophonic behavior (one note at a time). Now you can play chords with unison engaged - stack 2-4 voices per note across 4-8 note chords for massive pads and lush leads. Flexible Voice Architecture: Polyphony Voices controls simultaneous notes you can play, while Unison Voices controls how many voices stack per note. Classic mono unison still available by setting polyphony to 1. Practical Examples: 8 voices, multiply 2 = 4 notes with 2 stacked voices each (thick chords). 16 voices, multiply 4 = 4 notes with 4 stacked voices (super-wide pads). 32 voices, multiply 2 = 16 notes with 2 voices each (complex sequences). UI Improvements: New polyphony preset menu with musically meaningful values (1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 32). First-time unison button click dialog explains the new poly unison behavior. Efficient Performance: OB-Xd 3's vectorized engine (AVX2 for Intel/AMD and NEON for Apple Silicon) makes polyphonic unison practical even with extreme settings. OB-Xd is a classic synthesizer inspired by the Oberheim OB-X, featuring enhancements like micro random detuning, polyphonic unison, and comprehensive modulation capabilities. Available for Windows 10+ (AAX, VST2, VST3, Standalone), macOS 10.14+ (Universal Binary 2 with native Apple Silicon & Intel support, AAX, AU, VST2, VST3, Standalone), Linux Ubuntu 20+ (VST2, VST3, LV2, Standalone), and iOS via the Apple App Store. The free version is fully functional with Standalone, AU, VST2, and VST3 formats (oversampling excluded, non-commercial use only), while the registered version adds oversampling (2x/4x), commercial rights, AAX and LV2 formats, plus dedicated technical support.
