Boudicca’s Bass Service, who contributed to impOSCar3‘s sound design, kindly agreed to answer a few questions.
Do you have any tips for getting great-sounding patches?
I like to start from the init patch and just play around really. When I get something I like the sound of, I look at it more technically, but to begin with I always like just trying things out. Let the sound steer you instead of the other-way around.
Which of your impOSCar3 patches do you consider your personal favourite?
‘Sunshine Arpeggios’ is my favourite. I like the wobbly background delays, and I think it’s the most evocative of mine, like the hot sun on your skin(or so I hope). I’m also pleased with the sounds that come out when adjusting the macros – some nice wide soundscapey FX.
Is there anything, in particular, you liked about impOSCar3?
I love the spread feature. I think the space you can create in modern productions is a real joy of this era, and the sounds of impOSCar3 really lend themselves to this role in a song. To me it’s one of the perks of bringing vintage synths to software.
What’s your favourite synthesiser?
My favourite synth is the Korg Volca Keys. It’s the first synth I got, and I find myself always going back to it. I love having a quick synth jam and the volcas are perfectly immediate to get something good going almost instantly. I find it to be very versatile, and simply very fun!
