GMEDIA has announced the limited
availability of the GForce Future Retro Pack collection of GForce virtual
instruments. This is a limited-edition collection that is only available
approximately through the holidays, and distributed by M-Audio.
The GForce Future Retro Pack combines all of GMEDIA's emulations of
vintage keyboards in one affordable package. These software
instruments - Minimonsta:Melohman, The Oddity, impOSCar and M-Tron - bring back
the sounds that defined an era--the Minimoog, ARP Odyssey, Oxford OSCAR and
Mellotron, respectively.
These emulations have the advantage of modern features
like memory, additional modulation and new performance modes the original
designers never dreamed of. They can be used alone or with most popular host
software. Compatibility includes VST 2.0 (Mac/PC including VSTi), RTAS
(Mac/PC) and Audio Units (Mac).

artists such as The Beatles, Yes, David Bowie, Led Zeppelin, King Crimson
and The Moody Blues. It comes with over 2.5GB of real Mellotron samples
including strings, choir, flutes, brass, and more. Minimum system
requirements for PC are Intel Pentium II 300MHz; 96MB RAM; Windows 98, 98SE,
Me, 2000, and XP; VST 2.0 or RTAS-compatible host application for plug-in
