OSCar Monosynth Audio Demo

[77Tom77Tom77]

Thank you very *very* much for your wunderful demo! It gives a good idea what can be done with an OSCar. Some FX Sounds and a bit more "additive Synthesis" would have been nice. The filter sound is great. Sadly its a nightmare to service the OSCar.

[serip]

Awesome, thank you so much for the upload!!

[BluDevil93]

Could sit listening to these all night. Thanks for sharing!

[footmarshian]

i use to own this synth the thing about it is it can go Rusty inside and cost a lot of money to fix so i sole it on before it messed up but it is a very bad ass synth

[theskywaspink00]

What is the name of that preset at 4.02 ?? is it 1 of the original presets in imposcar??

[Pipotron3000]

Very nice demo ;)

Too short, because i would listen to this synth for hours :D

There are few synths so ahead of their time, and keeping their uniqueness...

[MrAnalogica]

I had a Syrinx, MiniMoog E, Odyssey MK I, Pro One, MS-20, SH-5 and sell them all, keep only the OSCar. Why? The OSCar beats them all, believe it or not, this thing is a beast, maybe only beaten by the Steiner Parker Synthacon.

[JohnnyTheWolfLupino]

The OSCar looks great and sounds great!

[renegadesoundwaves]

yet again you've nailed a perfect demo amongst lots of rubbish Oscar vids! This is what vintagesynth com OSCar page should be directing people to.

btw did you find your OSCar prety reliable or did it need lots of attention? Reason I ask is I've just picked one up and hoping after a service it won't give me any major unreliabilty issues.....(wishful thinking)

[JMPSynth]

Cheers. Never had a single issue with mine whilst I had it. Although, it arrvied in good condition, recently serviced by the previous owner. It's a great synth, very unique and one I should never have let go.....!

[renegadesoundwaves]

@JMPSynth

I think we've all had a few we regret letting go. My regret is selling an early R.A minimoog..very foolish decision. Just got my OSCar back from servicing though and can see why you regret letting it go. I don't think I've owned such a truely monsterous sounding monosynth. Can't get over the fact that it's from 1984..so ahead of it's time!

[justgarcia]

Oscar pra mim é isso aqui !!!

Imposcar pra quem curte VST !!

[LzI]

3:50 EPIC! :D:D:D Add a beat!

[JMPSynth]

Can't post links in here but item Nos. are 300467670314 (US) and 260678249972 (UK) but they're not cheap ! £1,200 - £1,400 is more the norm for these.

[docfraktal]

Is it hard to find one of these wonderful synthesizer ??

[JMPSynth]

Two on Ebay at the moment !

[docfraktal]

@JMPSynth

can you give me the link i can't find them, and also if it's eBay USA it's to expensive for me, i'm in France and Shipping fees are sometimes much expensives than the auction !!lol

[docfraktal]

i have a dream and this is that fabulous synthesizer ! Fucking bass !

[r5t6y12]

Somebody's trying to sell one of these on EBAY this month (AUGUST 2010) for $4,000.

I wouldn't pay $2,000 for one of these (though the patch between 1:33-1:36 sounds somewhat interesting).

[JMPSynth]

$4,000 is a joke. Paid £450 for mine and sold it for £900 two years ago. Now, probably go for around £1,200. Just a case of waiting for one to come up, they do every now and again from 'realistic' sellers.

[HELLSPAWN1973]

@r5t6y12: Got one for 600€ from an old man :)

[docfraktal]

@HELLSPAWN1973

Lucky you are ! And how it sound in real ?

[neuromancer808]

I had one of these back then in the 90s, found it a litte too hard to program it somehow. Never really got the sound out of it that I wanted. And I did never really figure how to create the own waveforms by adding up on the keyboard. Totally cool machine design though, loved it. However, hardware still is much more fun to work with than software.

Oh and thanks for the great video demo :)

[BlizzardOfTheCoast]

Each patch is better than the last! I love this thing.

[skeyugen]

i've recently recorded some stuff with mine and noticed it indeed gives a low level buzz, i think it's due to electrical circuits, as its frequency peaks are exactly on fundamental hz. I own one from 6 years or so, never had any breakdown or problem.

it's a very unique synth, and with the pwm detuned can be REAL FAT

[djomercohen]

i wonder how this sound compared to the moog

[devmiles]

just scary that's what this is ... whoaaah

[UnchainTheNight1]

man i swear i want to buy this and recase it lol

[ianbond68]

my best friend had this and when he died 2 years ago his mum gave me some of his software but no box could be found so i cant use it without a serial number and we never found it its the original disc too such a shame i cant use it.. rip tom 07

[JMPSynth]

This is a demo from the original hardware OSCar Monosynth not the software version.

[ianbond68]

very nice though i love old synths never owned any no one wanted them at the end of the 80's cause of korg 01/w roland d-20 yamaha ys-200 synths like that.

[Biopharmer]

Is the EDP wasp's filter at all the same?

It would be nice to know, because I know doepfer has a clone of it.

[UnchainTheNight1]

sounds waaayy better than it looks

[Satak8]

This is so amazing!

[Nikkodemis]

I use the GForce ImpOSCAR VST and ive used it a lot. Its got a great fat tone and works great with Cubase. Tons of great presets come with the pack

[BrontoScorpioMusic]

One of the best monophonic synths ever build! It sounds truely unique!

[ShakaCthulu]

What do you think of the ImpOSCar VST?

Great demo BTW!

[guitarharpsichord]

never heard of this one before..thanks for the demo

[akamoon8]

so nice

so good

thank you

[djsteve9000]

I want one of these. Also used by Jean michel jarre on the Oxygene 2008 tour and 2009/2010 tour.

[freedomfromme]

have you had many breakdowns? I'd love to find one of these...

[JMPSynth]

Don't have the synths anymore but was fine all the time I had it except for low level buzzing on the output.

[mattyjungle]

That's common. Rob Swire from Pendulum had exactly the same problem, but he just cancelled out the noise post recording. You can get a taste of what this synth is capable of by listening to Pendulums first album "Hold Your Colour". It is the most recent album to use it extensively... I think.

[myrmur]

Excellent job!!

How did you get that amazing sound on 1:33?

It's a filter sweep?

[luh2112]

thats HPF

[myrmur]

Thank you!

Does it got an arpeggiator?

[freacable]

Yes, it has the absolutely best arpiggeator available, as it is holds the tone without running the trig when you hold f.ex. the keynote. It has probably been used by many vrtuoses to fool you on fast solo playing ;)

[PlanetSynth]

Truly a great sounding synth...

Classic!

Thanks for the sounds!

[Tazz77]

Cool demo!

[synth64]

fantastic synth

[perspeeks]

Very nice :)

[mcklain]

The arpeggio starting at 3:50 sounds amazing and familiar :)
