GForce Axxess is the younger sibling of GForce Oddity3. It is inspired by the ARP Axxe, the younger sibling of the ARP Odyssey that inspired Oddity3. But don’t be fooled; Axxess packs a lot of punch!
Axxess sports our advanced preset browser. Presets are great starting points for producing a track or designing new sounds. The browser lets you quickly and easily find the sound you want thanks to the classification of the patches. You can also start sound design from our “Init” (i.e. basic) patch.
The core synth is located in the middle of the instrument. It is in this section that you will program the core sound of your patch.
Axxess can be controlled through your DAW. You can also use the keyboard to input or alternatively use the Arpeggiator or the 16-step Sequencer to control the synth. The Arpeggiator or Sequencer is synchronised to the DAW tempo.
The first time you open Axxess is will be in “Extended” view where you can access the FX section, and the XLFOs and XADSR sections at the top of the instrument. You can choose to hide these more advanced features away by clicking on the inward-pointing diagonal arrows icon in the header bar. Click the icon again to expand Axxess again.
<aside> ⚠️ All controls in the top section remain active even when this section is not visible.

Here you will find 3 effects: Distortion, Delay and Reverb. They will help you shape your patch as you desire.
Without using the X-LFO and X-ADSR, it is a fabulous, straightforward synth. But don’t overlook this section, as it vastly expands the sonic possibilities offered by Axxess.
Again, while Axxess is not a true modular synth, it’s possible to assign an additional LFO and Envelope to almost all of Axxess’ sliders.
This feature enables the instrument to take on the characteristics of a modular synth without the clutter of patch cables. This powerful feature allows textures and sounds to be programmed that would have been impossible on the Axxe. It also removes the limitation of Axxe’s single LFO, which was shared between modulations.
