Check out the PC version of impOSCar2, now available from GForce Software. ImpOSCar2 replaces the original impOSCar, the software synthesizer emulation of the OSCar synthesizer, and adds numerous new features designed to provide the soft synth with more character, more playability, more expression and more detailed sound sculpting opportunities than ever before.

While the original impOSCar was a component emulation of the rare and classic OSCar synthesizer with a few added bells and whistles, such as polyphony and onboard effects, impOSCar2 soars to new sonic heights via steroid injections of innovative features and enhancements, each designed around the wishes of those musicians, programmers, and producers who loved the original, GForce says.

In a nut shell, impOSCar 2 is the Effect version of the original soft synth, allowing you to process drums, vocals, or any other audio source through the filters, envelopes, ring modulator, and more. For certain hosts, including Apple Logic, there’s also a side-chained MIDI Controlled Effect available enabling you to even route audio through the arpeggiator.

GForce impOSCar2 features:

• Successor to the original impOSCar synth plugin
• Two oscillators and 13 waveforms
• New Mono Unison and Poly Unison modes
• New Aux Mod section with comprehensive routing
• Programmable Additive Wave Matrix Grid
• Nine filter types with Drive, Cutoff, Q, and Separation
• New Chord Memory and single note re-trigger
• 6 Portamento modes with new Unison glide voice spread
• New Unison Voice Pan
• New Note Pan modes
• Programmable Velocity responses and new Aftertouch
• Improved Arpeggiator
• New instrument and effects versions
• Small, regular, or large interface sizes
• New Ring Modulator
• New Chorus modes
• Library of over 1,000 patches, featuring sounds created by original OSCar users including Billy Currie (Ultravox) Darren Price & Rick Smith (Underworld), and Paul Wiffen (the original OSCar sound designer and programmer for Stevie Wonder and Jean Michel Jarre)

The new impOSCar2 soft synth is now available for Windows and Mac (VST / AU / RTAS / standalone) for £139.99 GBP (approximately $223). For more information on impOSCar2, visit the GForce Web site at gforcesoftware.com.
