I'm using registered versions of Discovery and
DPro in Bitwig 1.3.6.
BW has no display problems with either synth. Sound-wise, the Pro
version works well with my hardware, but some patches are major CPU
hogs, even on a 6-core 3.5 GHz box. I agree that the synth needs an
optimization for multicore CPUs. I also have some of the u-he synths,
including Diva. Some of its patches are heavy hitters too, but
overall it's a better performer. u-he's ACE and Hive also perform
very well, in Bitwig and Ardour4.
Makes one wonder on what kind of hardware they tested it in order to
boast 128 voices. On my i5 CPU with 16GB RAM it crackles at 4 voices
w/o over or under sampling and that, while playing no sound at all.
For the GUI, I see no problem in Ardour 4.
Cheers.
