Boxed Ear releases OSCar for Kontakt

Boxed Ear has released OSCar, a library made entirely with the OSC OSCar synthesizer.

Released in 1983 by the Oxford Synthesizer Company, the OSCar was a unique combination of analog and digital. The oscillators are a digital design with the capability of being able to build waveforms using additive synthesis. These feed into an analogue multi-mode filter design which was inspired by the Minimoog trick of looping the synths output back into the filter's input to overdrive the filter circuits, resulting in a characteristically crunchy sound.

Included in the pack are 119 Kontakt instruments which cover a wide range of synth sounds, both monophonic and polyphonic: tough basses, evolving pads, complex leads and a host of other synth sounds all stamped with the OSCar's unique sound.

Details:

• 1.1GB soundset.
• Over 2300 samples at 24-bit, 44.1 kHz quality.
• 119 Kontakt instruments.

Price: $49, €39 or £30 inc.VAT from the Boxed Ear website.

Full version of Kontakt 4 or 5 is required. OSCar does NOT work with the free Kontakt Player.
