via this auction"Up for sale is one beautiful and rare (Only 50 were made) Studio electronics Omega 2 small chassis. Even aged about 10 years old, this synth is cosmetically near mint condition.
The Omega is the highlight of Studio Electronics' production line. This stereo analog synthesizer is based on discrete circuits (which means that it is completely DSP free) with different filter types, an arpeggiator, very good modulation capabilities, dynamic sound processing and elaborate MIDI control.
The Omega 2 SC is the more affordable way to obtain the Omega sound, and 2 voices is a great choice for lead and bass ! This model has the same specifications than the rest of the Omega serie. Even if there are fewer front-panel controls, it is easy to get control of all the capabilities of this synth and you still get individual outputs from and inputs to each of the two voices in addition to the master ins and outs, too.
This 2 voices polyphonic synthesizer, 2 parts multitimbral stereo analog synthesizer comes fitted with a Moog filter, a SEM filter (multi-mode Oberheim like) and an extra TB303 filter on each voice. One more filter board (Arp2600 or CS80) can be added per voice. This Omega offers 128 Multimode patches and 256 Factory Presets.
This synth works fine. There is one point you should be aware of : depending on your midi controller, aftertouch messages are not correctly managed. If it is the case, you will just have to switch off aftertouch on your midi controller (or filter this kind of midi messages with your D.A.W). Except this particular point, this synth works as it should. Every controllers, every switches respond perfectly as well as the main encoder."
