impOSCar Save 60 Euros - Discount On imp2 Too

Get in early and upgrade cheap - coupon code 07-Nov-10

Buy original impOSCar at €39 - a saving of €60 (around $85) between the dates of 7th and 21st November 2010 and when the much awaited impOSCar 2 is released, you save an additional €29 ($40 ish) on the web price.

The good folks at GForce Software, who it cant have escaped some folks attention have, ahem, "been a little behind schedule" with the impOSCar 2, say they are doing this:  

(a) make them (the users) happy, and (b) as a way of saying "sorry for our lateness".

We've been given a special coupon code to dish out, you can take advantage of this by following the instructions below: 

 

  1. If you dont already have one, create a GFORCE account
  2. When you've received your log in and go to the shop and buy impOSCar
  3. When it comes to checkout, type (or copy) THE_SONIC_IMP_DISCOUNT, in the coupon code field and your special discounted price will appear.
  4. Complete the process and then link to My Instruments and download impOSCar.

GForce has also told us that owners of the original impOSCar, will also be offered a special discount when the time comes.

The impOSCar 2 is being controlled in this video by the beautiful, one-off, custom controller GForce had made by the brilliant Synth-Project.de. (note the obscure Human League "Being Boiled" b-line at the end)

Finally bought it! :)

...talk about impulse buying mixed with a long time interest on this "little" piece of interesting software art.

Brilliant deal for a superb synth and its even more superb-y follow up! The ImpOSCar was one of the first 'big' VSTi's I got and I still use it regularly. An amazing range of sounds.

Koshdukai    Said...

btw... (I know this isn't really the place, but) anyone having trouble of impOSCar freezing when receiving MIDI Program Change messages ?

A quick Google search and I've found others have the same issue: http://forums.m-audio.com/archive/index.php/t-2757.html

Tried the GForce FAQs and there's no mention on this, so... guess I'll better file a report on it and wait :)

Koshdukai    Said...

Just as a follow up (if anyone's interested at all), using impOSCar through MIDI Yoke+MIDI-OX avoids this issue... dunno why yet -.-'

Spectacular!!!! 


lboymusic 05-Dec-11 11:59 PM

UAU!!! Do you know what sound was used on Ultravox Mr X?


joeyxl3456 24-Nov-11 06:08 PM

do you think the quality and sound of the Imposcar 2 vst is worthy of your hard work in the making this hardware?.


frozinarosie 20-Nov-11 09:07 PM

Incredible! I'm completely blown away!


SynthProject 02-Nov-11 07:14 PM

No, the controller from TDC is a Desktop Version with its own electronic and parts. It has nothing to do with my controller.

rhoggard76 02-Nov-11 06:16 PM

oh wow... so the controller Geforce software makes now is the same as this but with out the keyboard section?


Fiddler25 26-Oct-11 12:31 PM

no I can't feel and hear because the video only in 360p... :P I hope you create soon a better quality video. Anyway this machine simply amazing, I love it! Thanks for sharing.


SynthProject 11-Sep-11 04:18 PM

Thank you very much for your kind words.When i´m looking back, i think, maybe it´s my best work. That´s the reason why i never sell this controller.

All the best

dreamrecorder 11-Sep-11 03:51 PM

This definitely is a remarkable piece of Art. You literally hand-build an impOSCar 2 controllers + black/white keys. I am sure you blew away the guys at Gforce & Touch-D.C. couple of years back when they first witnessed this beautifully crafted synthesizer could be design this way. I was seriously confused if this was made for production earlier, nothing beats tweaking the sound with your bare hands.


joeyxl3456 02-Aug-11 05:53 PM

omfg i want imposcar 2 vst


THOMASHANBURY 31-Jul-11 09:23 PM

this is the second coming of christ!


thekilon 16-Jun-11 09:14 AM

that must be one of the most stupid things I have read on comments for a music video. How little you know about music to say that. Some of the best electronic tracks have been made with arpeggios . Searching for the best arpeggios is far from easy.


SynthProject 07-Jun-11 04:50 AM

Thanks for your comment.

.... and the easiest way to show the functions of my controllers. And thats the only thing i want. All my vids are function demos. Nothing more, nothing less.

chrisgimeno 06-Jun-11 09:06 PM

Arpeggio: the easiest way to make easy music. I hope you only use them in demos!


Arthur60 02-Jun-11 11:15 AM

Reminds me of Timewind's Bayreuth Return mood... This mean a lot for me :) This also means your controller allows to interact deeply and intuitively with the softsynth. Great work, as always!


SynthProject 05-Apr-11 06:04 PM

No sorry, i don´t know.


MorenoMusicGermany 05-Apr-11 12:43 PM

Any idea when impOscar 2 will be released?


Dogboy73 07-Mar-11 07:23 PM

Awesome. Shame GMedia have not released the ImpOSCar 2 yet. I was looking forward to seeing the patches I did for it in the finished product but it seems to have fallen into the vapour ware black hole :-( Anyone know what is going on with it?


SynthProject 23-Feb-11 01:57 PM

Thank you very much for your compliment

Synth-Project


SynthEnslaved 23-Feb-11 01:04 AM

wow this is one of the best looking synths iv ever seen and it has a great sound. congrats


SynthProject 28-Jan-11 05:13 PM

Thank you very much. Maybe one day the imp 2 is published ;o)

All the best

Synth-Project


MarcJX8P 27-Jan-11 06:47 PM

Absolutely gorgeous controller... And the Imp 2 is going to be amazing!


SynthProject 27-Dec-10 06:38 AM

sorry it´s a one-off and only for myself


MorenoMusicGermany 09-Nov-10 07:28 PM

Ja allerdings. Zumindest hat man ja vergleichbare Sektionen beim JD-800... Allerdings ist halt aufgrund der Langsamkeit des Protokolls die "Reponse"-Zeit etwas hoch. Aber dem Programmierspaß tut es keinen Abbruch!!!


SynthProject 09-Nov-10 07:09 PM

Ein JD-800 ist auch was feines, wenn ich an die vielen Slider denke. Ich finde, das kommt dem ganzen wesentlich näher, als ein Universal Controller


MorenoMusicGermany 09-Nov-10 06:41 PM

Ich habe vor kurzem einen JD-800 ersteigert, mit dem ich nun unter anderem den Oscar steuere. Unheimlich toll, aber Du bist klar im Vorteil mit dem Teil! :)


SynthProject 09-Nov-10 06:31 PM

Vielen Dank.


MorenoMusicGermany 09-Nov-10 12:49 AM

There is just one word for this: AWESOME!


DrSphinctenstein 29-Oct-10 06:33 PM

poppin' fuckin' boners over here mann.


neko64gen2 06-Oct-10 02:41 AM

can u buy this i want it


SynthProject 19-Sep-10 08:54 AM

Thank you very much. i think the impOSCar 2 is coming soon.


MiddleOfNowhere101 18-Sep-10 08:25 PM

Great performance, great controller, great video. Thank you. Now if us mere mortals - with our credit cards at hand - could purchase that wonderful instrument, too (at least the software part ... Come on, GForce: It's been two freakin' years ... :)

Monster Synth =) mmm mmm Good sounds
