For now, I’ll mention a few they’ve added: Ring modulation, Polyphonic Unison, an Effects version and multiple interface sizes.įor the Mac, impOSCar2 is a 32/64-bit instrument, available in a standalone version, AudioUnits, RTAS (Pro Tools 9 and 10) and as a VST plug-in.
I will go over some of these fine additions in more detail later on. Now in its latest incarnation, they’ve dished out some great enhancements to what is already an exalted emulation. GForce added some useful features when they designed their emulation of that rare and classic synth, including polyphony and effects. It was modelled after the OSCar, a British-made hardware synth, of which only about 2000 were ever made. It won the Future Music Platinum Award, Electronic Musician’s Best Software Emulation & Editor’s Choice Award, and the Computer Music Editor’s Choice & Performance Award. When the original impOSCar was released, the synth received many awards for its superb sound and features.
