ABOUT Oxford Synthesiser Company OSCar. another fine synth (beside the WASP by EDP (electronic dream plant) from Chris Huggett (about his other project: EDP and his teaming up with EMS-David Cockerell) (imo he's the one who is also responsible for EDP) It had additive synthesized waveforms as waveforms, interesting very "british" sounding rough filters with separation and drive! (sep sets the BPF bandwidth) this is the first and last synth by OSC 1982. 2 ENVS (adsr) and 1 LFO. also nice PW control. but very cryptic interface and look.. 2 filters, routable to model a 24dB/oct filter, both filters are multimode: lpf,hpf,bpf the oscs are special digital ones thaat can hold up to 24 waveforms where 5 can be edited in a kind off additive way.. there is a sequencer in it ,too (24 sequences storable) later software versions made those editable, but see them as (almost) preset ones. "duophonic" via the sequencer, so this is what it has in common with the arp odyssey and the roland sh7, duo is not poly. btw: there is a software out emulating the OSCar from g media, but I don't own it.. only seen the demo. huggett later worked for akai (the s1000), strange, but .. the Advanced Sound Generator ASG was planned but imho it was never made, sort of rack version of an advanced OScar.. about 1000 Oscars have been made..

DETAILS till 1984 without midi! has special additive edit mode for static additive spectrum edit (improved over time). Filters sound very special. very british. the filters have a separation offset. dual 2 pole in series or parallel.

SOUND from harsh digital rough sounds to special FX, but also basses and leads, even voice like

VERSION several software versions: Version 6 - edit 24 harmonics in edit mode , improved in Version 7. most changes in usablility.
