GForce ImpOSCar3 is an enhanced virtual recreation of the iconic OSCar synthesizer, renowned for its unique analog-digital hybrid architecture. With its dual additive and subtractive oscillators, flexible dual filters, and expanded features like onboard effects and an arpeggiator, ImpOSCar3 delivers lush, complex sounds. Designed for modern workflows, this synth is perfect for everything from vintage-inspired leads to cutting-edge textures.

Unique Filters & New Custom Wavetables

Poring over proprietary "for-your-eyes-only" schematics made available to Universal Audio by API, our team of DSP experts analyzed two classic API 2500s — rackmount and in-console — ensuring one of UA's tightest behavioral circuit models to date. Working together with API's engineers, we scrutinized every facet of the plug-in against its analog counterpart, delivering the definitive representation of this iconic compressor. Early beta testing with UA artists confirmed that the plug-in ranks among the most accurate analog emulations in UA history.

What’s New?

impOSCar3‘s oscillators have been augmented with fully editable 256-step wavetables</strong, drawn as shapes or edited as partials. 

We’ve added 450+ New Factory Patches and our Powerful Browser to allow easy navigation through the vast array of included patches. Over 1800 in Total.

Additionally, 4 New Macros, a New Reverb, an Improved Layout, a User Designable LFO Editor, Aftertouch Control, Undo & Redo, a Fully Scalable UI and more. Finally, we’ve simplified the operation of the instrument whilst keeping all its depths and compatibility with legacy impOSCar2 patches.

A Trailblazing Hybrid Synthesizer with a Legacy of Innovation

The instrument that inspired impOSCar3 was designed in the UK in the Early 1980s. It was renowned for its Pioneering Integration of Digital and Analogue technologies in a synthesizer. Uniquely equipped with digital oscillators, it could generate standard analogue waveforms and up to 24 distinctive user-defined digital waveforms, offering an Exceptionally Broad Sound Palette.

Additionally, it featured a Dual Filter—both high-pass and low-pass—that could operate simultaneously for intricate sound sculpting. Its iconic yellow membrane panel set it apart visually and underscored its distinctive design. Only 2,000 units were made.

impOSCar3 faithfully celebrates this unique classic while significantly expanding its capabilities.
