Inventive, imperious, imperative. Designed in Britain in 1983, the OSCar® married digital oscillators to analogue filters years before hybrid was a word, and only 2,000 were ever made.
impOSCar3 recreates that rare classic with an award-winning sound, then expands it with editable wavetables, a user LFO and over 1800 patches.
Drag the fully scalable interface to any size, with an improved layout that simplifies operation without losing any depth.
450+ new patches from a roster of professional sound designers alongside 1350+ legacy patches, all in the powerful new Preset Browser.
Programmable velocity responses, aftertouch control and four programmable Macros put the whole synth under your fingers.
Billy Currie of Ultravox and Darren Price and Rick Smith of Underworld programmed patches for impOSCar, as did Paul Wiffen, the original OSCar sound designer and programmer for Stevie Wonder and Jean-Michel Jarre.
Like the hardware, impOSCar3 pairs the precision of digital oscillators with the warmth of analogue filters, and it keeps the same incredible award-winning sound that made its predecessors a fixture in serious studios.
The one of a kind dual filter sits at the core of impOSCar3. Nine modes with Drive, Cutoff, Q and Separation: LP, HP or BP in 2 pole or 4 pole, plus LP, BP and HP in parallel pairings that open the door to formant textures, phasing and resonance effects.
The original could hold 24 user waveforms. impOSCar3 gives you fully editable 256 step wavetables, drawn as shapes or built additively from partials, with over 150 wavetable presets to start from. Your wavetables save with the patch, and wavetable switching lets you explore new tones inside a sound without losing its character.
A new User LFO editor morphs between two frames you draw yourself, with 25+ presets ready to sculpt. Modulate wavetable position by LFO, velocity or aftertouch and the sound comes alive
Mono Unison and Poly Unison modes with wide stereo spread, Note Pan modes and Unison Voice Pan. Add Chord Mode and the Arpeggiator, and impOSCar3 moves from a single searing lead to a full poly unison wall in one switch.
Ring Modulator, Chorus, Delay and a new Matrix Reverb, all onboard.
