I might be wrong, but I fear it's been staring us in the face this whole time.

As per those crucial words in their message (according to the OP):
"But I can say that it’s a totally new product, not a reworking of something we’ve already got."

So it's a totally NEW product.
It's not going to be a synth at all, as they already exist. We've already got them.

When thinking about musical instruments which don't already exist (and which are totally new), has anyone ever made a musical instrument made entirely from wool?
I reckon that's where GForce are going next.

Admittedly, I could be wrong.
But I have a feeling in my bones about this one.

It looks like a new website is up...but I cannot log in using my credentials.

Edit: their blog says to reset your password...so I guess I will try that and all should be good.

It is a slow site, heh.

The obvious key there being how one interprets "we". The collective 'we', or the corporate 'we'?
I'd venture it is the latter. "New" then, being relative to their current product line.

Oooh, the intrigue beckons... the bane of the impatient, and thrill of the hopeful.

Um....it LOOKS LIKE THE NEW WEBSITE IS UP.

In case anyone here was interested in some real news, reality, tangibility, physicality, real, malleable, non-conjectured, for-reals, legit, relatable, non-objective, not arguable, neutral information. Heh.

Perception and truth...who would have thunk it.

Perception and truth

The real truth here is the new website been up for a few days now, and everyone knew it except you. So your "real news" are old news. But you can of course write another post about it, entertain the crowd. It's getting rather hilarious.

As has been discussed in here already by others, a CS-80 plugin, without a corresponding keyboard controller allowing Polyphonic Aftertouch and a Ribbon Controller, isn't really a CS-80...

Vangelis probably loved it because of its dynamic performance capabilities more than the raw sound of its oscs (bog standard yamaha basics) or its filter -- Dave Spiers himself notes in his lengthy CS-80 youtube documentary video that the CS-80 filter is nothing much to write home about, just a standard fare 12-pole with no self-oscillation.

What the CS-80 did have is the ultra-rare Polyphonic Aftertouch, a ribbon controller, and all kinds of dynamics switches (e.g. many related to velocity > filter and amplitude and other parameter) all geared toward performance, exclusively.

It was a monster synth designed for dynamic playing. Which was, of course, exactly what Vangelis was all about.

Take that synth -- or even, let's say, a perfect VST emulation of its 'sound' -- and pair it with a standard MIDI controller...... that's not a CS-80, and certainly not the 'world's first actually good' one you're looking for.

Which is why I'm really hoping they do a 2600 instead....

Disagree with all of that.

This is really what this thread is about... that right there.

Arguments for the sake of arguing. Have at it!

(oh, and the site went live the morning of the 16th as I just verified...and my announcement came just hours later when no one else had mentioned it)

Dude , the site went live when everyone was dissapointed there were no new products to be seen , that was 13 th oktober .
You obviously live in an alternate reality , for the sake of arguing

We landed a freaking man... on the freaking moon!

Gforce Software, something new is on its way...
