“The Linux version can be used in any host that supports
VST/VSTi plugins compiled for Linux. The current list includes
Renoise along with the eXT2 and QTractor audio/MIDI sequencers and
the JOST multi-format plugin host. Discovery is available only as a
plugin, there is no standalone version.

“There’s no lack of patches for this synth. Discovery comes with
40 banks of sounds, with 128 patches per bank. If nothing there
satisfies your ears you can try some of the 3rd-party patch banks
listed on the discoDSP Web site. If you’re still not satisfied you
can import Nord Lead2 sysex data (see the electro-Music archives
for Nord sysex files), or you can learn to program the synth
yourself.”
