GForce impOSCar VSTi RTAS v1.10 AMPLiFY
The impOSCar is modelled on the unique and wonderfully esoteric British synthesiser, the OSCar.
OSCar was manufactured
between 1983 and 1986 and was used to great effect by artists such as
Ultravox, Jean-Michel Jarre, Stevie Wonder, Underworld, Orbital and
even Oscar Peterson. Because it was released at the same time as MIDI
and early affordable polyphonic synthesisers affordable the instrument
wasn't a huge commercial success and only 2000 were produced before the
company ceased trading.
However, to those in the know, OSCar has
been a highly prized item and the secret weapon in many programmer's
sonic arsenal. In a sea of monophonic subtractive synths available at
that time it was unique and refreshing in many ways: It looked
interesting, it had an additive synthesis section, it had memories, it
was duophonic and monophonic and, with the exception of the filter, it
was all digital. All of these features contributed to its sound which
could be summed up in one word- Awesome. From sublime to screaming,
from clean and clinical to phat as phuck, the OSCar did it all.
The
impOSCar was two years in production and since its release it'amount of
s become one of the most respected virtual synthesisers on the market.
All the notable features of the original instrument are evident here as
well as several enhancements including a more intuitive additive
section, polyphony, increased LFO waveforms and a chorus and delay
effects section.
The filters are a particular highlight of the
impOSCar and feature two stunning 12dB filters running in series, a
filter overdrive and sublime separation control. With these and the
huge waveforms on offer the impOSCar is capable of a range of sounds
far beyond that of any standard subtractive synthesiser.
