impOSCar2
impOSCar2 is an audio plugin (available as AudioUnit, VST and standalone instrument) from GForce that emulates the classic OSCar synthesizer, an 1980s analog synth. It features a 1000+ patch library including sounds created by original OSCar designers and users such as Billy Currie (Ultravox), Darren Price & Rick Smith (Underworld), and Paul Hartnol (Orbital). Musicians, producers and sound designers use it within digital audio workstations like Logic Pro for both retro synthesis and modern sound design.

1 suggestionimpOSCar2 is currently an Intel-only AudioUnit plugin with no native Apple Silicon build yet released. As of early 2022, GForce announced they were rebuilding impOSCar2 for Apple Silicon compatibility, but no public release date has been confirmed. The plugin does run under Rosetta 2 on M-series Macs in your current DAW, but Apple is removing Rosetta 2 entirely in macOS 28 (September 2028), so the Intel-only version will stop working on that release. Contact GForce directly through their website to ask for a native build release timeline — given the public commitment to Apple Silicon support, a native version may be forthcoming before the deadline. In the meantime, keep an eye on GForce's announcements and check their plugin installer or your DAW's plugin manager periodically for an update to a native build.
