discoDSP Corona 7: Free Major Upgrade Adds MPE Support
discoDSP Corona 7 is a free major upgrade for the hybrid virtual analog and wave synthesizer, adding MPE support, 8x oversampling, a new Super-7+ unison mode, and a sequencer arpeggiator with generative pattern building. The update is available now for all Corona 6 license holders via the discoDSP user area.
What's New in Corona 7
The synth engine moves from 4x to 8x oversampling, with offline bounces using a linear-phase FIR filter and a new draft playback mode that halves oversampling for faster auditioning. A 1:2 interpolator improves fidelity at 88.2 and 96 kHz sample rates.
The highlight is Super-7+, a new unison mode modeled on the Roland JP-8000 supersaw. It adds mix law control, per-saw stereo panning, and a unison panning spread parameter. The arpeggiator gains a sequencer mode with a 12-semitone note grid over a piano roll, transpose function, generative sequence builder, and MIDI file export. Full MPE support enables per-note pitch bend, timbre, and pressure expression.
