@@koncreteto2758 All the new GForce plugins have resizable UI - a big deal if you have a 4K or larger screen, since the impOSCar 2 UI is small even when "large." Also, the new GForce patch browser is top-tier for easier navigation. I think impOSCar 2 could benefit from the other UI / UX improvements GForce have implemented in newer products. A right-click waveform selection menu would be lovely, for example.
Awesome sounding. Sadly Oberheim is about the only main brand I don't own anything hardware so I can't compare. Usually not using plugins at all but again, this sounds amazing.The vintage know won me over!
Top notch design. For a start it is easy to understand and navigate, extremely important for user adoption. The sound is incredibly alive with an awesome filter. I cannot compare to an hardware version, but I can compare to other plugins. This one has that extra edge that you feel when listening to vynil records versus CDs. It also compares well next to a hardware Prophet 6, and in the mix I will say that it is just perfect. Again, from a end user perspective it delivers extremely good value, and at this price point it is a no brainer to purchase. Many thanks for delivering another great product!
Wow! This is really great! I love my OB-X8, but this has a lot of features I definitely love! I may add it to my arsenal! Superb job, GForce! BTW, on your website, the descriptions on a couple of the demo tracks uses the word EXPECT when it should be EXCEPT.
How do you feel like the raw sounds compare? Is the ob-x8 still distinguishable or has VSTs come far enough? I have the money for an OB-X8 but this plugin has me on the fence
I cherish the GForce SEM (one of the most satisfying softsynths i've ever used)...really excited to try this. I know the OB-X inside out as i've repaired one before.
I would still like a GForce version of the Clavioline. I first found out about Dave Spiers while searching for Clavioline emulations a long time ago. Yeah,, I bought GForce OB-X on first site. I have all the GForce stuff and watch all their historic videos. Will I get rid of my OB-X8? No. I like stuff and Nostalgia. I was also lucky to get to meet Tom and Marcus. So sad Dave Smith had to leave too early.
OB-X supports polyphonic aftertouch and polyphonic pitchbend per note. In this way, it's great with a number of MPE controllers. Especailly tested with ROLIs and Osmose. It does not have per-voice CC control however, so cannot claim full MPE compatibility. We are looking into that for future updates.
Think this might be the first? Though he has been involved in a M-Tron video, iirc. I love Alex's video's but I miss Dave Spiers' voice over. He has such a nice voice. Hope he is well.
Any chances this might be able to become a librarian and external control for my hardware OB-X8? If so, you might still happily hook me, even being an owner of the hardware!
Thanks Alex! What are the minimum machine requirements to run this as stand alone? I was thinking of building myself a hardware synth based on this software. Could it run on a Raspberry PI? (keeping fingers crossed)
Not yet, it currently only has some "inspired by" presets. However, we intend to release all 32 original factory presets free to users in the future as a bonus download.
GForce is on the..."Ball" with this one!! sounds GREAT!!
Amazing job guys! Using this plug-in to make a new sound bank for it I can say it is really exceptionally good.
Can you be precise about what is exceptional for you? And did you compare to the hardware? Do you own me analog synths? Thank you.
Oh dear - now that I own the OB-X8, you finally come up with this! 😫 Of course I‘ll buy this too! Can‘t get enough Oberheim lol
me too
You can still sell it
Hi. Don’t sell the OBX-8
How do you feel it compares to the ob-x8? I'm about to buy it but this car has me questioning it. Not able to compare
Congratulations on yet another amazing instrument design. It's a gift. Really love what the team is doing. Incredible work.
Still can't believe they got Geert van Schlänger to do the voiceover!
I wasch moscht arousched by the OB-XXX.
I just had to check who that was! The 70s porno synth music dude!😂😅🤣
@@geertvanschlanger8057"Arousched" translated by TH-cam as merely "excited."
That profile pic needs a courgette stuffed down the pants.😂😅🤣
been playing with the ob-x for a few hours now, very impressive, so much character.
Got it and loving every bit of it!!!! Thank you for all the work on making this dream come to life for us all!!!✨🎹💯✨🕊️💖
Looks ( sounds ) fantastic as always ! Eagerly awaiting a new impOSCar upgrade too 😉
What upgrade do you think OSCar needs ? init patch would be my only request

Sounds fantastic guys!
Impressive, now just waiting for the Starsky Carr test.
nice to hear your voice alex :-)
Hell yeah! Bought it immediately.
me too
You guys had me at OB-X. Looks like OP-X Pro-II is shaking with fear.
I think the OP-X Pro people dropped the ball. The version I have often crashes. I quit using it.
Simply beautiful. What an amazing mindblowing job you have done. Well done. Big fan.
This is absolutely phenomenal! 🤩
Thank you for releasing PC at the same time as Mac. This sounds incredible - can't wait to dig in!
So...Oberheim DMX plugin next? The example songs on the product page are out of this world. Amazing job!
I would love some Japan style patches for this. I think it was Richard Barbieri that had the OB-X.
wym japan style?
So freaking cool! I'm really digging it!
My favourite synth of all time!
Awesome sounding. Sadly Oberheim is about the only main brand I don't own anything hardware so I can't compare. Usually not using plugins at all but again, this sounds amazing.The vintage know won me over!
As always huge analog sound
Amazing sound quality!
Nice consolation prize for folks whose savings can’t quite catch up to the price of an OB-X8.
Holy freaking cow!! YES!!!

Gforce doin it right!
Sounds amazing!
Whoever did the voice over should make synth history documentaries.
That's Alex Ball. He's an amazing synth player and actually did short documentaries on his TH-cam channel.
😂😅🤣
@@l0riz624 Sarcasm: every nerd knows it's Alex.
Obies are the best sounding synths ever made. Glad to see the first official Oberheim OB-X plugin. Nice commentary, Alex!
simply great!

watched it on the GForce website and immediately recognized that voice... thank you for the great work Alex and cheers from Israel..
Wow! Fantastic news!
❤ wow beautiful
Definitely interested. You should send a copy to Vulture Culture. He has been doing weekly vintage synth streams for years. I’d love to hear his take.
Brilliant!
Alex Ball, on commentary, i recognised that voice over anywhere
Sweet!
Is the unison function available in polyphonic mode as well, or is it just available for monophonic playing?
Just Mono and Mono legato playing.
I was disappointed to see no support for MPE, any plans to add this to future update?
OB-X supports polyphonic aftertouch and polyphonic pitchbend per note. In this way, it's great with a number of MPE controllers. Especailly tested with ROLIs and Osmose.

@@GForceSoftwareno CLAP either. I’ll check back in a year or two and hopefully both are fully supported.
No mention of Van Halen with one of the most famous OB-X synth lead?
How long has A-Ball been the voice of GForce?
Think this might be the first? Though he has been involved in a M-Tron video, iirc. I love Alex's video's but I miss Dave Spiers' voice over. He has such a nice voice. Hope he is well.
A video or two back I believe.
Dave will be back. I've just been helping out on a couple of bits this year.
@@electronictigerAlex has a nice voice, too.
It's your voice Alex Ball. I didn't know you are making software instruments.
Awesome just got it...
Any chances this might be able to become a librarian and external control for my hardware OB-X8? If so, you might still happily hook me, even being an owner of the hardware!
How many presets or patches doe’s this come with?
I just bought OBE. I wish I would've waited lol
curious how it compares to the OB-Xtreme
Wow, i don’t need to use buggy OP X pro anymore, please do one for moog Memorymoog, polymoog or modular next!!
Can you save patches on this and open them on the OB-X8 and vice versa?
What about the filters on this VST? are they SEM like?
Is the portamento working like the original ?
Did they nail low frequency punch, filter behavoir and dimension of a hardware synthesizer this time?
Yeah it does, I was listening on a pair of Genelec 8341s and it has the nice low end punch.
Just got a brand new computer with all the bells and whistles. I guess I’m going to be adding a new soft synth to it! 😉
oh hey wassup Alex 😄👍🏻 ya ok gotta get this ☺️
Hello there.
Thanks Alex! What are the minimum machine requirements to run this as stand alone? I was thinking of building myself a hardware synth based on this software. Could it run on a Raspberry PI? (keeping fingers crossed)
Alex Ball is the David Attenborough of synth documentaries.
N I C E !!
VERY GOOD
I'd love to stick something like this into an OB-X shell and see how many ears would be fooled. If you think it's analog, does it sound analog?
Does this have all of the original presets from the original hardware?
Not yet, it currently only has some "inspired by" presets. However, we intend to release all 32 original factory presets free to users in the future as a bonus download.
Now I can do music like my old Betamax demos.
It this an official collab with oberheim?
yep - see description - Beautifully classic, yet resolutely modern. Alex Ball introduces the official GForce Oberheim OB-X virtual instrument.
Yes. It's official... or we're in for a massive lawsuit. One or the other...
Alex -a-…… Who did the voice over?
This would probably be good even like how Carpenter Brut sounds like.
Alex? ...Aleeeeeeex!!!!
nice :-)
iOS Version please
hoping there is a VST2 version of this available too...
Love that VST2 vintage vibe!
Yes. It comes with VST2.

This sounds crazy powerfull. But i hope only that it will not crash a CPUs)
