OSCar by Cluster Sound

Far beyond the well-groomed software simulations, Oscar Live Pack delivers the raw and aggressive sound of the O.S.C. Oscar, the ultra-rare and iconic British synthesizer from the mid eighties.

The OSCar is a vintage hybrid digital/analogue synth from British manufacturer Oxford Synthesiser Company. Designed by Chris Hugget after the ending of EDP, this masterpiece of audio engineering features digitally controlled dual oscillators with analog filters and plenty of knobs packed into a yellow plastic case with distinctive rubber elements. Remarkeble OSCar users are Hardfloor, Orbital, Deadmou5, Jean-Michel Jarre, Ultravox, Keith Emerson, Sneaker Pimps, and Underworld.

Distorted personality

The OSCar simply sounds like no other synthesizers. Thanks to the characteristic filter with overdrive and separation controls, two wide-range DCOs and a set of 5 additive waveforms to carry out harmonic synthesis, this stunning synth can generate a sound palette wider than any other monosynth. Far beyond the well-groomed software simulations, our Oscar Pack delivers mellow organs, dark drones, brutal keys, distorted basses, sharp pseudo-digital FX and screaming leads. OSCar is certainly not a synth for sweet melodies.

The Live version of Oscar has been designed to perfectly fit into your Ableton Live. All the included devices can be directly installed in your “Packs” section and previewed when selected in the Live browser. They have also been organized in Live standardized categories so that you can find them also in the browser’s “Categories” section. Moreover, all the sounds included in Oscar have similar perceived volumes and feature 6 macro control templates with volume compensation to avoid unwanted distortions.

The Kontakt version of Oscar includes PRIMUS, a virtual instrument with an ultra-friendly interface and a solid set of synthesizer parameters. All the sounds included in Oscar can be easily selected using the Waveform menu and then tweaked using 25 different filters with cutoff and resonance, one multishape LFO assignable to Filter, Volume and Pitch and two envelopes for filter and amplifier. PRIMUS implements also a Glide effect, a Unison with up to 4 stacked voices and a set of built-in effect.

Important Information

Initial Release – April 2025

Our Products are generally provided as Zip file downloads which in all cases will need to be extracted and saved to your hard drive prior to installation. Details on the different file type provided and what to do with them are below.

.alp Files – These are Ableton Live Packs and will either install directly into the Packs Section of the browser of Ableton Live or ask you to save them to your hard drive. For packs that install to the library, when you double click on them you will see a pop up window asking you to confirm that installation is ok as the files are described as “Legacy”. This is fine and you are ok to proceed, the packs are created using the format for an earlier version of Live and so remain compatible with the current version.

.amxd files – These are individual MaxforLive Devices and can be stored anywhere on your hard drive. We’d advise creating a folder for them and then adding that folder as a location within the Places section of Lives Browser.
