GForce Software

This synth is basically a preset player for the bigger synth Oberheim OB-E. You get the same presets and same sound with few tweaking options. If you are not into synth programming this is perfect for getting that thick and lush sound.

Here's my overview and demo: https://youtu.be/eZlU5B-lzGE.

Endorsed by Tom Oberheim himself, the synth sounds fantastic and is able to emulate all the well known classic OB-X patches along with with much more due to the extra modern features and 16 voices. The CC MIDI control interface is intuitive and very easy to map to a hardware keyboard or controller. Already my new favourite soft synth which is sitting beside some other excellent go to soft synths from Roland Cloud Ultimate, Korg Collection 4, Cherry Audio GX-80 and Dune 3.

Wonderful!

In the mid 80's I had an ARP Odyssey, a wonderful synth that I unfortunately sold. But Oddity 3 is exactly as I remember my old faithful except for one thing - it keeps the tuning stable regardless of the temperature.

In addition to this, you can store and use ready-made sound settings. It also has effects that weren't on the original (which you can turn off to make them sound exactly like the original).

This is a great updated emulation of the original and it's approved by the ARP Foundation. This was the original synth used by Herbie Hancock for the baseline in Chameleon. See the other reviews...

Having Arturia's V collection and subsequent SEMV2, OP-XA V and Matrix 12V, BrainWorx bx_oberhausen, discoDSP's OB-Xd, Sonic Projects OPX-Pro II, Cherry Audio Eight Voice I didn't really think I needed another OB plugin, but it's Gforce and having owned all there earlier pre v2 Synths and loving them (impOSCar especially) I downloaded the demo ... two days later had to buy it .

Sounds fantastic, easy to use, The built in Reverb sounds about as good as the Novation Summit's as icing on the cake .

It's relatively Cheap. A perfect mono synth really .

Only Con : I'm sure I'll have to buy OB-E now which is not so cheap and had avoided until this point ...trying it's demo out now, but is worth it's weight in hype too .

Excellent softsynth ! The SEM emulation sounds superb in all regards; it's the only SEM emulation with proper hardsync that I know of. A third oscillator is a fabulous addition, offering accurate PWM, FM, and filter modulation at audio frequencies. Love it ! Also nice is the presence of the Oberheim voice allocation system, not available elsewhere. Highly recommended.

Really wonderful virtual synth. Fattest sound I have heard from any synth in 30 years - analog or digital, physical or virtual. Expensive for what it is and Mac only no PC version which is not acceptable in this day and age. I expect a windows version and sale pricing in the future or this will be a business failure. But the sound quality is really well done, you can tell the G-Force folks poured a lot of heart and soul into this effort. PluginGuru also unified the patches which make the whole thing just ridiculously awesome. Warning - don't try the demo unless you are prepared to part with @ $200.

Phantastic sound, not easy to edit but good patches. Good for drum and bass. No tuning possible to 432 hertz f.e.
