OSC OSCar Getting Official Reissue From PWM Instruments (Sneak Preview)
In his latest video, Starsky Carr talks with Paul Whittington from PWM Instruments about their upcoming reissue of the OSCar synthesizer.
The Oxford Synthesiser Company introduced the OSCar synth in 1982. It’s a 2-oscillator hybrid monosynth, with digital oscillators and a resonant multi-mode filter.
Video Summary:
The legendary OSCar synthesizer is back! In this video, I’m joined by Paul from PWM Instruments, who recently acquired the rights to the Oxford Synth Company. In this he talks us through their new synth – a modern recreation of the iconic OSCar – a secret weapon for artists like Jean-Michel Jarre, Ultravox, Stevie Wonder, Orbital, and Underworld – and explains how the new OSCar stays true to the original’s gritty charm while adding modern upgrades for today’s producers.
Its currently at prototype stage – but the proof of concept has been demonstrated, so the next stage is to mould it into a commercial product.
The OSCar reissue is currently in the prototype stage, with a release expected sometime in 2026.
