[Uses & Ideas] - Suhr Discovery - initial config and ideas

Morningstar Gear Planning Strategies
1

I recently picked up a Suhr Discovery and have been getting my head around it’s capabilities. It’s an analog delay with modulation but also full MIDI control. It’s a great sounding thing and my starting point has been to get it to sound like my big box EHX Memory Man but with a lot more control

I thought it might be of interest so thought I’d post here. I recently got my head around scroll counters and have used three in this bank

Any suggestions of alternative approaches will be welcome!

Button Assignments

A - wave shape - triangle / sine / square - using CC scroll to cycle between 3 states
B - delay divisions - using CC scroll to cycle between 5 states
C - changes between two delay divisions to give momentary doubling
D - tap tempo
E - swaps Discovery screen between showing milliseconds and programme number
F - low pass filter full or half
G - programme down - using PC scroll
H - programme up - using PC scroll

Expression pedal 1 - delay time
Expression pedal 2 - delay feedback

The 3 button breakout box is used on every bank I have to switch to the second screen or return to bank 1 which is a ‘master bank’ that has links to the other banks I use

This is an initial pass but I will probably use the second page for at least 4 presets. I could also swap the delay time on the expression pedal for delay volume

Very inspiring!

I just started controlling my Discovery with an MC3. Just basic functions - Bypass, Preset Up, Preset Down, but it’s very cool to see what you’ve come up with.

Thankyou subplot. MIDI capability is a great thing and I’m a bit of an evangelist to get people to think more than using it to change presets (not that there’s anything wrong with that). If it makes anyone think ‘perhaps I could do xx’ then that’s a good thing.

I’m having trouble getting the Discovery to accept midi clock. Any thoughts? I’m using MC6Pro.

I figured it out just turn on midi sync.
The manual only mentions turning it on allows the discovery to send midi clock to other devices.

Hi John

Gad to hear you got it sorted. MIDI sync to timecode seems to work pretty well
