Ohm Force has announced its 37th Ohm Studio Collab Weekend scheduled for March 29th, 2013.

This week, everybody will use a great synth included in Ohm Studio’s default arsenal. Participants will have the choice between different projects, each of them named after one of GForce Oddity’s presets. This particular preset will serve as a basis for the musicians in the project to build a collaboratively inspired track. Of course, switching projects during and after sessions will be possible, as easily as joining and leaving a chatroom.

Newcomers are required to download and install Ohm Studio, create an account and log in between 8:00 PM and 2:00 AM (GMT). Red_Force and Jamie will be waiting for people here.

Gforce Software has released the OrchesTron Expansion Pack, a sound library for the M-Tron Pro virtual instrument for Windows and Mac.

As the name suggests, it’s an add-on pack for M-Tron Pro users with sounds recorded from the ultra rare and ultra desirable Orchestron optical playback instrument.

The Orchestron is an optical playback instrument manufactured in the 1970s. It generated sounds based on the same technology as the Optigan but instead of having a rhythm and effects section, it simply focussed on providing a single sound spread across the keyboard.

OrchesTron Expansion Pack features

• Only available via Download.
• 12 New tape banks all looped.
• 35 Notes per tape bank.
• Extremely rare sounds.
• Over 100 New MTP Patches.

The expansion is available to purchase for £19.99 GBP inc. VAT.

• Tape half speed.
• Dual Layer capability for mixing sounds.
