GForce Software is a UK-based developer specializing in virtual instrument emulations of classic analog synthesizers and keyboards. Founded by Dave Spiers and Chris Macleod, the company emerged from GMedia Music in 2003 and released the world's first Mellotron software instrument, the M-Tron, followed by The Oddity (an emulation inspired by the ARP Odyssey) and the impOSCar, which has been widely cited as a milestone in virtual synthesis.

Their catalog focuses on faithful recreations of vintage hardware paired with modern workflow additions such as expanded modulation, sequencers, and effects. Notable titles include impOSCar3, M-Tron Pro, Oddity3, OB-E and OB-EZ (tributes to Oberheim polysynths), Axxess, SEM, Minimonsta2, and a range of expansion sound packs. GForce also collaborates directly with Oberheim on officially licensed virtual instruments.

Alongside plugin development, GForce produces the Bright Sparks documentary series, which profiles synthesizer pioneers including Robert Moog, Alan R. Pearlman, Don Buchla, Tom Oberheim, Peter Zinovieff, and Harry Chamberlin.

GForce Software has 29 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Synth Plugins, Drum Machine, and Virtual Instrument. Their gear is featured by 59 artists, with the strongest followings in Electronic, Rock, and Pop. Notable users include Billy Currie, Underworld, and John Foxx. GForce Software's catalog spans the full price spectrum — from entry-level options to high-end flagships.
