Discord4 is the latest version of our most popular and long-lived product, our Discord stereo pitch shifter. Originally modeled from the H910, Discord has long since become its own effect and a studio standby, and this version includes major additions to further stretch its capabilities.

New version 4.0.10
Old version 4.0.8
Release Notes >> MIDI Input added. You can now use the MIDI shift feature just like the Desktop version; assuming your host allows MIDI to insert effects (many do not) you can assign a note MIDI input to Discord and "play" the pitch shift, just like the keyboard accessory for the H910. >> Full rebuild with all current SDKs and APIs. We had to refactor some things to bring Discord up to date and running smoothly.
