Yeah - it's good.

Great oscillators, great filter, quirky and interesting. Check out the demo...

It's not just vintagesynth... ImpOSCar (and all other gmedia synths) have a very good reputation on KVR as well.

They're pretty friggin' good vintage emulations without using large amounts of CPU or dongles (like Arturia does... Mind you, I like arturia too... I'm not trying to bash them)

I ordered a copy of ImpOSCar earlier this week. I had a little spare cash to treat myself and this synth has been on my wish list for some time.

Looking forward to receiving it. :)

Not sure how much like the original it sounds but I like the quick and dirty 9and musical) additive aspect with the "analogue" filters.

ImpOSCar is one of the best-sounding VSTs out there. The quality is really in another league when programmed well.

Pretty much sets the bar at where we are in the soft synth world.

Nice small GUI that doesn't hog too much screen space.
Great sound.
Very sonically versatile without being too complicated.
Polyphonic.
Reliable.
Decent price.

It sounds f**k all like the real thing but for anyone wanting to buy their first serious softsynth for not too much dosh this should be on top of your list along with the Albino. :wink:

My imposcar arrived today!

Brilliant piece of software. I've just been going through the preset banks to check it out. Love the Perrier Lead!

The synth seems to be very well behaved and the GUI is nice and responsive. Definitely a keeper.
