ImpOSCar is included in the "Software Instruments" list.

In MusicRadar's interview with Depeche Mode's techs on the Delta Machines tour it was revealed that ""Sample wise we're using Native Instruments Kontakt and Massive a lot too. We're also using a lot of GMedia ImpOSCar and Synthogy Ivory for pianos too. There are some sounds you can't get with the synths, so we use the samples for those, but there's a lot we can do and we try to use the synths as much as possible. Stripped is a good example of that. The big lead sound is Massive and ImpOSCar all layered up to create that main riff sound." Martin is strictly using software when he puts his guitars down for older material, he has a Roland Edirol controller as well as an Access Virus both commanding Muse Receptors with various plugins loaded.

This article on the recording of the "Barking" album describes the band's then-current studio setup. It states, "Underworld relied on both software and hardware synthesizers. Soft-horses included Logic ES2; GForce ImpOSCar, ImpOSCar2, String Machine, and Oddity; Sonic Charge’s Synplant; Synthogy Ivory (piano); Rob Papen BLUE; and Native Instruments’ Battery 3, FM8, Reaktor 5, and Massive."

“We got excited going through some of the new virtual instruments — Arturia having a Yamaha CS-80 and an ARP 2600, and GForce having an OSCar and an ARP Odyssey, and we were intrigued the things they did.”

Rob Swire discusses his use of the GForce Software impOSCar in a Sound On Sound interview, likening its capabilities to those of Reaktor for analog sounds. He mentions the complexity of its interface, noting the challenges of adjusting its controls and the unique way it handles MIDI messages.

"But we used a lot of [GForce Software] impOSCar and [Way Out Ware] KikAxxe, and even software Minimoogs and Mellotrons."

Geoff's comments on GForce impOSCar, from the GForce website: "Having been a member of the original Oscar owner's club in the mid-eighties (this was made up of assorted geriatrics, weirdos pot-heads!), I was very curious (and dubious) to see how this new damned elusive impOscar would measure up against its mentor. You see, there was always that ONE sound that you could get out of the original Oscar and not from anything else which made it really quite special. Well I can honestly say in comparison, after having worked with impOScar for some months now, the answer is simply: Better - and better. Very inspirational sounds, ease of operation, full polyphony, fatter-than-fat bass and many other very cool features make it without doubt one of the best software synths on the market in my opinion. And most importantly, you can still get that ONE sound that sounds like nothing else. In fact, you can get quite a few more than just one! Bloody brilliant - Get one. Now!"

"I use The Oddity, M-Tron and the Minimonsta," Jones says, "and I’m just getting to grips with the impOSCar. I am very software orientated. I now have an amazing multitrack recording studio in a laptop. This has changed everything. But I believe it is the ideas that count, the people involved—not the technology. I am a digital fan, so I am excited to see this proliferation of digital technology, including soft synths and virtual instruments."

John Foxx's comments on the impOSCar, from the GForce website: "Delicious. Really a new instrument based on that great warm, broad sound of the original. A welcome realisation of a great lost synth of the period. (I remember a conversation with Paul Wiffen where he said the next stage of the Oscar was a poly version, but sadly, the company closed before this was realised). So, the polyphony is finally here and is extremely useful. Some immaculately designed patches. Equally adept at groaning organic leads and delicate evolving soundscape pads. Everything from edible to visible to shredded. I spent an entire day just playing with this one. Got quite lost in all its potential. Also managed to bank and record enough for the start of several new tracks. An inspiration."

"I have impOSCar in the studio, but that mostly gets used for demos; I usually replace it in the final track. Hang on… it did make it onto the last album."

According to the "equipment list" found on Church Studios, owned by Epworth, one of the things listed is the GForce impOSCar.
