Original Spirit, New Expression.

GForce MkII is the 1963 instrument that King Hussein of Jordan and Princess Margaret bought as a home entertainment console, and a generation of musicians turned it into something else entirely: unlooped tapes from the Streetly archive, two manuals, six Stations, and every imperfection intact.

Around that core is a composer’s tool. Host sync, transposition, cross-Station mixing, Dual Rhythm mode, key-by-key editing, reverbs and delay, and over 150 patches. Evolved, evocative and beautifully imperfect.
