GForce Software: Virtual Synthesizers of Excellence for Your Studio

GForce Software: The Legacy of Legends in Digital Format

Founded in 2003 in the United Kingdom, GForce Software set out with a clear mission: to resurrect the most iconic synthesizers and electronic instruments in history with impeccable sonic fidelity. What sets GForce apart from other plugin developers is their obsession with detail. Each emulation is the result of years of research, meticulous measurements, and collaborations with original manufacturers like Oberheim and ARP. The result: virtual instruments that don't just imitate but capture the very soul of the originals.

From the Oberheim OB-X, used by Prince, Van Halen, and Queen, to the Mellotron that defined the sound of progressive rock, through to modern creations like IconDrum and Halogen FM, the GForce catalog spans several decades of sonic innovation. All these plugins are available on Green Musicians, the marketplace for discerning musicians.

The Oberheim Range: The Legacy of a Legend

Oberheim is a sacred name in synthesizer history. Founded by Tom Oberheim in 1969, the American brand revolutionized electronic music with polyphonic instruments of unparalleled sonic richness. GForce has obtained official endorsement from Oberheim to recreate several of its most celebrated models, guaranteeing absolute authenticity.

Oberheim OB-X: The Polyphonic Titan

The Oberheim OB-X is undoubtedly the centerpiece of the GForce catalog. Released in 1979, the original shaped generations of musicians with its thick pads, deep basses, and expressive leads. The GForce version reproduces every nuance of the original analog circuit, from the filters to the saturation, including the famous Unison mode that stacked up to 8 voices for devastating sonic power. The interface has been modernized with an intuitive preset browser and advanced modulation options, but the sonic core remains rigorously faithful.

If you're looking for the sound of Van Halen's Jump, Prince's 1999, or Queen's ballads, this is where it all begins. The virtual OB-X is available at an accessible price on Green Musicians and integrates seamlessly into all major DAWs in VST, AU, and AAX formats.

OB-E, OB-1, SEM, and TVS Pro: The Family Grows

Beyond the OB-X, GForce offers a complete range of Oberheim emulations. The Oberheim OB-E recreates the famous 8-Voice module based on the SEM (Synthesizer Expander Module), with its unique multimode filter character. The Oberheim TVS Pro (Two Voice Pro) is a modern reproduction of a classic duophonic instrument, combining two SEMs and an integrated sequencer.

For electronic rhythm enthusiasts, the Oberheim DMX is the official reissue of the legendary drum machine that defined the sound of the 80s, from hip-hop to new wave. Each sample has been carefully captured from original units, and the modernized interface allows intuitive sequencing directly in your DAW.

The Mellotron Universe: The Sound That Changed History

The Mellotron is probably the most recognizable instrument of progressive rock. This magnetic tape keyboard, invented in the 60s, gave birth to masterpieces like the Beatles' Strawberry Fields Forever, the Moody Blues' Nights in White Satin, or the introduction to Genesis's Watcher of the Skies. GForce has dedicated years to capturing the essence of this mythical instrument with its M-Tron series.

M-Tron Pro IV: The Absolute Reference

The M-Tron Pro IV represents the pinnacle of Mellotron emulation. With over 200 sound banks - flutes, strings, brass, choirs, and much more - it covers not only the original Mellotron sounds but also those of the Chamberlin, Optigan, and other tape-based instruments. Advanced modeling reproduces the imperfections that make the original so charming: wow, flutter, mechanical noise, and even the characteristic click of the playback heads.

For producers looking for the classic Mellotron sound without all the advanced features, the M-Tron MkII offers the essentials with a simplified interface and a lightweight CPU footprint.

The Essentials: Minimonsta2, Oddity3, impOSCar3, AXXESS

Beyond the Oberheim and Mellotron ranges, GForce offers a collection of legendary synthesizer emulations that deserve your full attention.

Minimonsta2: The Minimoog Myth Revisited

The Minimonsta2 is the evolution of one of the most renowned Minimoog emulations on the market. With its redesigned interface, new sound engine, and over 4000 presets, it captures the essence of the most famous monophonic synthesizer of all time. The deep basses, piercing leads, and characteristic modulation effects of the Model D are all there, faithfully reproduced.

Oddity3: The ARP Odyssey Sublimated

The Oddity3 is the third iteration of GForce's ARP Odyssey emulation. This duophonic synthesizer, made famous by Billy Currie of Ultravox, Herbie Hancock, and George Duke, is renowned for its aggressive sounds, powerful filters, and characteristic slider interface. Version 3 adds a distortion engine, programmable macros, and an improved arpeggiator.

impOSCar3: The British Sound Par Excellence

The impOSCar3 pays homage to the OSCar, the British synthesizer designed by Chris Huggett and used by artists like Depeche Mode and Jean-Michel Jarre. With its unique digital filters, versatile oscillators, and integrated effects section, it's an exceptional sound design tool that clearly stands out from American emulations.

AXXESS: The ARP Axxe Reinvented

The AXXESS is the modern interpretation of the ARP Axxe, the Odyssey's little brother. Simpler but just as expressive, it excels at deep bass sounds and sharp leads. GForce has turned it into a modern instrument with features like duophonic mode, 6-voice polyphony, and extended modulation options.

Modern Innovation: IconDrum, Halogen FM, MAP

GForce doesn't just revisit the past. The British developer also innovates with instruments that push the boundaries of software synthesis.

IconDrum: The Drum Machine of the Future

IconDrum is a virtual drum machine that combines classic sounds from the LinnDrum, DMX, 808, and other legends with an integrated kick and snare synthesis engine. The internal 64-step sequencer, per-pad effects, and library of over 2000 samples make it a complete solution for producers of all genres, from hip-hop to electro to pop.

Halogen FM: Accessible FM Synthesis

Halogen FM democratizes FM synthesis, historically complex, with an intuitive interface and hundreds of ready-to-use presets. Inspired by the classic Yamaha DX7 and TX81Z, it generates crystalline sounds, punchy basses, and evolving pads that find their place in all styles of modern production.

MAP: The Arpeggiator Reinvented

The GForce MAP (MIDI Arpeggiator Processor) is a utility plugin that transcends the simple arpeggiator. With its pitch, velocity, and gate sequencers, programmable patterns, and ability to generate complex sequences in real time, it transforms any synthesizer into a musical idea machine. An indispensable creative tool to venture off the beaten path.
