Equator2 & ROLI Studio Expansion: OSCar is a sound pack for ROLI's Equator2 and ROLI Studio Player, and its subject is specific: the OSCar is the synthesizer built by the Oxford Synthesiser Company, designed by Chris Huggett — an instrument known for a distinctive digital-with-analog-filters architecture, an unusually aggressive filter, and a programming interface that was ahead of its time when released in 1983. Chris Huggett's designs, including the OSCar and later the Novation Bass Station and Supernova, share a reputation for character over polish, which is the reason a preset pack named for the OSCar targets a particular sound rather than a genre. The pack's place in the range is documented: ROLI Sound Store is an ever-growing library of expressive sound packs, programmed by pro sound designers, grouped by genre, and tailored to ROLI Studio, and packs within it are compatible with ROLI Studio Player and Equator2 — as documented on the closely related Cinematic Expanse pack, which includes 50 x MPE and 50 x Standard presets and 21 x Wavetables. That MPE/Standard split is the structural detail worth carrying, because Equator2 includes the most expansive library of MPE sounds anywhere, modulating any parameter with intuitive gestures on Seaboard, Piano M, or any other MPE controller, and packs ship both MPE and conventional-controller presets so they work whether the user plays a Seaboard or a standard keyboard. The host's scale is documented: Equator2 combines four different synth engines, extensive modulation, and studio-grade effects with the most comprehensive MPE support of any synthesizer, with over 1,400 presets including 579 MPE presets, 896 built for conventional controllers, and 360 presets from the original Equator library, and 42 richly detailed, multi-sampled instruments with 220 articulations and variations. It suits electronic music, synthwave, and sound design, and its value is for producers specifically seeking the OSCar's character — since the OSCar hardware is rare, expensive, and difficult to maintain, a preset library targeting its sound is the practical route to it. #Equator2 #ROLIStudio #OSCar #RolyExpansions #ROLI #SoundPack #Presets #MPE #MPEPresets #Wavetables #OxfordSynth #ChrisHuggett #Synthwave #ElectronicMusic #SoundDesign #MusicProduction #VST3 #AU #Standalone #FLStudio #AbletonLive #LogicPro #Cubase
