Hi, I just had an email to say that GForce Software are running a sale until 25th December where their three modelled synths are discounted by 66%
For the first time we’re offering you the opportunity to purchase our synthesizers, impOSCar2®, Oddity2® and Minimonsta® at the truly impulse price of £33.33 each.
I just bought impOSCar2 and it’s a great vst. Lots of presets too, many that sound very CS80-like. It’s modeled on a synth that I had never heard of before.
I like GForce instruments, especially their Mellotron and Virtual String Machine, and their modelled synths are very good as well.
Yes, the OSCar was not a massive selling synth, so slipped in and out under the radar. It was introduced at a time in the 80s when there was little interest in monosynths, it i was competing against the likes of the DX7. It did have high profile users like Ultravox’s Billy Currie and Jean Michelle Jarre.
More heavy discounting…
Minimonsta and Oddity at £22.95 (ex VAT)
I just wish they would do something about Scaleable GUIs. I can’t see the damn things anymore, but they sound great!
Not as famous as the one you mentioned, Martin Orford of the new-prog band IQ had an Oscar, until about 1996 when he switched to a Korg Prophecy for solos before their album Subterranea.

P.S. Yes, I was (and I am) a fan of IQ and I know that their present keyboard player is on this forum (Hi @Neil_Durant!) 
Edit: I have just noticed that I am replying to a three years old message…sorry. 
I actually pulled it back from the dead 
as GForce are having another monster sale.
Another huge IQ fan here. Listened to Resistance yesterday, which I think is one of their best.
There be nothing wrong with bring up a post from the past. Now I have some thing else to add to the growing (wish) list. 
Wait until you see my next post…
Resurrecting this thread (again), as GForce are running their “Synthmas” sale with some good discounts.
Bought SEM at Gforce Italian dealer. I saved VAT and currency conversion, but ignore the reason of that.
So I had it for 33€ (same as 33USD).
