Let's hear the sherman. I'd buy this if the emulation were convincing.

I'm willing to check it, but I can't find any downloads.

Looks interesting, but it's very pricy.

the mention the oscar filter in there blurb - these people aren't the ones that did the imposcar filter are they ?

I wasn't aware that Basement Arts were part of the GMedia team, but it's possible. Lots of people mention OSCar filters, but usually it's just talk. GMedia have nailed it though.

They said they'd licensed their filters to a "reputable" 3rd party...I never found out yet who that is - I suppose it could be this lot?

I wouldn't be prepared to believe the blurb until I actually hear the filter though....OSCar filters, Korg MS filters - many VSTi devs claim to sound like them, but rarely if ever even come close.

you're right - gmedia liscenced them to spectrasonics - its the one in stylus rmx

duh - just ignore me it's easier that way

Eric, I believe GMedia liscenced their filters to Spectrasonics, but the question here is, who actually made the ImpOscar filter. We know the Ohmies have worked on Oddity and Minimonsta, but I'm not sure whether or not ImpOscar was coded entirely in house at G-Media or if they went outside for the filter.

i seem to remember reading that it was in-house, but i can't think where - but I suspect this si another one - it defintely doesnt mention the imposcar filter.

I believe Jon Hodgson was the bloke who did most of the work on ImpOSCar. Not sure where else we have seen his work, but the GMedia info says he worked on ImpOSCar for two years, so presumably he was on the payroll rather than just contracted out.

This filter looks and sounds great! But its a bit expensive for me.

[VstSchrauber]

If frantic sounds as the videos are shown, then i think this filter is really really fat. we must wait for a demo so that we can check it out ourself.

99 euros for frantic untill 15 may 2005, after that 129 euros. so i think i will wait for a demo before i will buy this one. price is ok when its sounds as it said. moog,korg or sherman hardware boxes are much more expensive.

i check out some other filters and for my mind is that nitro has good basic sound, but the resonance is very static and clean. filterscape from u-he is nice, but no revolution. the resoance is very very limited, so no self oscilation and less filtertypes.

Did you take a look at Quad Frohmage ?

I think its wearth to check our filter, NWRCFil also. It's cheap, easy to use, can be customized and sounds warm, smooth and has very high resonance levels, and almost never distorts.. However, only a lowpass filter, but with 2p and 4p modes.

Yup - that's right. He did all the programming. I met him at the Messe, and he is a very, very nice guy. Had a bit of a chat with him about making them, and it sounds like it involved a lot of really detailed research. Still, I reckon the results were worth it
