"As a producer who often uses string sounds it is very difficult to find samples that have their own identity. The GForce string machine, however, has exactly this.
At last I have a machine that has the capability to create the depth of...

Mike Beck - impOSCar2
"impOSCar2 is like a cool beer on a hot day. Thank you for properly aging it. Well worth the wait, and then some."
Mike Beck
Music Mart Magazine - impOSCar
"It's powerful, really powerful and delivers faultlessly. Like it's stable mate, the Oddity, the results are outstanding and leave you with the feeling you've just eaten the best 7 course meal of your life, satisfied.
And with a retail price of around £100 it becomes about the best VST Synth classic emulation I have seen."

Xantone Blacq - VSM
"If you want Funkadelic, Prince, Herbie Hancock, Roy Ayers and George Duke's sounds from their classic records you'll find them all with VSM."
Xantone Blacq (Artist, Producer, Amy Winehouse Keyboard Player)
Dean Coleman - Minimonsta
"I love the low end on the Minimonsta! And its flexibility. It ran great on my G4 and AMAZING on my MacPro."
Dean Coleman (DJ, Remixer & Producer)
Trent Reznor - impOSCar

Pablo Clements - VSM

Pablo Clements (UNKLE)
Sean Charles
"The Minimonsta, ImpOSCar and Oddity are my favorite go-to virtual synths - hands down. In the fast pace world of interactive music scoring and sound design for video games, you have endless creative possibilities with this killer suite of plug-ins. They are unequivocally the FATTEST sounding plug-ins and programmable beasts on the planet."
Sean Charles (Audio Director, Propaganda Games - A Buena Vista Games Studio)
Jan Hammer
"For me the Minimonsta is a wonderful time machine taking me back to playing with the Mahavishnu Orchestra or my group with Jeff Beck. But beyond that, with it's polyphony and 'Melohmagic' it outplays the Memorymoog, which was the foundation for my sound of Miami Vice. It's incredible."

Mike Overacker - Oddity
"Since I last talked to you, I have been using the Oddity again, in greater detail. I.....I can't....stop....using it. It is really great."

Billy Currie - VSM
"Receiving the VSM coincided nicely with the start of my new album and I was looking forward to it because I thought it was a great idea to have all these instruments together. I also felt like working with just the piano and string synth for coming up with ideas. Something I used to do in the past, especially when working with a band.
It was amazing to hear the Elka Rhapsody again and the Yamaha SS-30 but it is also good to hear all the other ones that are in there. I always loved the Oberheim sound so I have utilised the Xpander sounds.
The Solina was an instrument I didn't really get on with in the seventies, too silky, but interesting to go back to now!
I do admit though that I did not have a great relationship with the Yamaha SS-30 initially. Yamaha gave the gear to Ultravox in 1979-80 so I didn't say "No thanks". I must admit it does sound flipping brilliant in the VSM though - Nice One!"
Billy Currie (Ultravox)
