Discord4 4.0.10

Discord4 presents a refined version of the renowned Discord stereo pitch shifter, establishing itself as a staple in recording studios. Inspired by the classic H910 but evolving into a distinct effect over time, this latest iteration offers substantial enhancements, expanding its creative possibilities. The application provides a stand-alone variation with Inter-App Audio support, along with an AUv3 effect compatible with hosts like Beatmaker 3, AUM, Cubasis, and Garageband. For comprehensive guidance, users can access the full PDF manual on the Audio Damage website.

Featuring three distinct algorithms – "vintage" (modeled after the Eventide H910), "clean," and "granular" – Discord4 offers diverse strengths tailored to different audio inputs, offering users a wide range of capabilities. The P1 and P2 algorithms grant precise control over buffer size, enabling fine adjustments for input signal modulation or unique sound manipulation. Users can explore six-octave shift ranges, delving into unusual aliasing and artifacts, pushing the boundaries of sonic experimentation.

Retaining its tempo-synced delays and bandpass filters while introducing a reverb within the feedback loop for quick access to "shimmer" effects, Discord4 elevates its modulation sources with the innovative FLFO (Flexible LFO) design. Additionally, panorama controls manage stereo width for the wet signal. With enhanced soft saturation and limiting throughout the signal path for improved sound quality and vintage warmth, users can engage in intense feedback experiments without concerns of overwhelming their DAW channels.

Features:

• Pitch Shifting: Discord4 encompasses two shifters housing three unique algorithms (Vintage, Clean, and Granular) catering to various pitch-shifting styles.
• Buffer Size Control: The P1 (Vintage) and P2 (Clean) algorithms offer Buffer Size control ranging from 32 to 2048 samples for precise pitch-shifting adjustments.
• Delay: Incorporates tempo-synced or free-running delays with feedback, cross-feedback, and a sophisticated bandpass filter.
• Reverb: Includes a straightforward stereo reverb in the feedback path, ideal for "shimmer" effects and further sound exploration.
• Modulation: Features two new FLFO (Flexible Low-Frequency Oscillator) with tempo sync and arbitrary waveform capabilities for an extensive range of modulation shapes using just three controls.
• True Stereo Operation: Embraces a genuine stereo signal path with independent control over each side, culminating in panorama settings for stereo width adjustment.
• MIDI Note Control: Allows control over six octaves of pitch-shifting via MIDI note input.
• All-New GUI: Showcases a vector-based resizable user interface for user convenience.
• Presets: Utilizes a cross-platform XML-based preset manager facilitating seamless preset management across devices.
