GForce releases the ARP-inspired Oddity 3 synth plugin

2 Nov, 2022 Software Synthesizers & Samplers

GForce’s Odyssey continues as it releases the ARP-inspired Oddity3 synth plugin, and this vintage emulation of a classic instrument is now better than ever.

Given that the first version was released 20 years ago, GForce’s Oddity – a plugin emulation of the ARP Odyssey – might almost be considered a vintage synth.

Oddity 2 was released in 2015, and now Oddity3 has landed. This builds on the architecture of previous versions but extends its capabilities even further.

Oddity 3 is powered by a new audio engine, and GForce’s sound designers have created more than 250 new presets. These come in addition to the 1,750+ legacy presets from previous versions. They describe it as “An Odyssey For The 21st Century”.

All of the sounds can be found and organized in the new preset browser, which offers extensive tagging, sorting and search possibilities. Additionally, there are new distortion and reverb effects, along with a Vintage control that enables you to dial in your desired level of analogue imperfections.

For performers, there are now four programmable macros for quick and easy editing, while the programmable aftertouch and expanded velocity controls promise extra playability. The UI is now scalable, and you can choose from three skins.

New in GForce Oddity 3:

New Patch Browser – Quickly find the right sound, including 1250+ presets, tagged and categorized with 250+ new presets.
Fully-scalable UI – Fully-scalable UI with three skins
Programmable Macros – Four programmable Macros for easy manipulation of sounds
