But Arturia already did that. Then again, what Arturia didn't emulate is the sample-recording bit of the chain too, so if Gforce did that, this would indeed be a novelty. But then again the teaser does NOT in any way sound like a Mellotron at all.
Actually I think the GForce (GMedia?) Megatron was going to do that, but it never got released. There are some M-Tron sounds labelled Megatron which I assume were ported to M-Tron rather than them go to waste.

Ah, interesting - I didn't know that about Megatron.

I'm sticking with my guess (and hope) that a Birotron could be involved. Could be totally wrong.
And, I will admit that I can't square that guess with the screenshot of the knobs. But the sound...?

Add a bunch of effects, and maybe...

I would dance (and pay some money) for the Oddity2 and Imposcar2 gui updates

Post

"Coming soon" from GForce likely means 2024 or thereabouts. I really do love me some impOSCar but, they really aren't known for speed...still love 'em though.

Post

Looking forward to this, whatever it is ... but I wish they would put some time into bringing the GUIs on Minimonsta and Oddity2 up to date.

Post

+1 to all the sentiments above re: the existing product line. Oddity 2 is really a phenomenal synth, but it's just too hard to experience it fully -- the UI feels dark and sluggish 100% of the time. Then there's god awful preset non-browser, ughhh. The depth is wonderful and the sound quality is fantastic, but the thing is just damned unfriendly to use. Such a pity.

Damn… I read the thread title like it was going to be announced January 22nd… Not January 2022.

You can't wait the extra day until the 25th? (Tuesday afternoon, UK time)

(I just edited the thread title to be less confusing...)
