At the same time, the perceived desirability of the original synths has also rocketed.
(See Sound On Sound, May 2004.) Since then, soft synths have continued to improve, both in terms of the quality of their emulations and the range of extra facilities that build upon the capabilities of their inspirations.
Consequently, it was almost inevitable that at least one OSCar soft-synth would appear, and eight years ago I reviewed the first of these the ImpOSCar. Released in 1983, the OSCar was, in many ways, a remarkable monosynth, with digital oscillators, additive synthesis capabilities, an unusual dual filter configuration, an arpeggiator and even a primitive sequencer lurking within its rubberised body. GForce's acclaimed OSCar emulator gets a major update - and a deluxe control surface, in the shape of the Touch Digital IMP2C.
