"This Omega 2 SC is the most affordable Studio electronics Omega model. It's a duophonic synthetizer. You can either play two notes at a time, either play in unisson to get a huge sound, split the keyboard with 2 different sounds or stack 2 different sounds (thus, in this last case, play monophonic). An analog synth that can rival this synth is probably another Omega with more voices.
Specifications & Options

Except the number of voices and the memory (this synth offers 128 Multimode patches and 256 Factory Presets), full specification of this synth is available at SE web site.

This synthesizer comes with three voltage controlled discrete analog filters: 24db (classic Moog®), 12db (classic Oberheim® - incorporates low pass, band pass, high pass and band reject modes) and classic Roland® 303. Each voice can access all 3 filters.

This Omega is fitted with a "Fuzz" circuit for amp overdrive and saturation, switchable on voice 1 only, or on both voices (see the video demo I recently recorded and uploaded to YouTube : "Omega 2 overdrive demo").

This "Fuzz" circuit is a genuine Studio electronics circuit. Only available as an option for the CODE serie, this option makes this synth unique. The power switch, on the front panel has been moved to the back, close to the power socket, and replaced by a 3 positions overdrive switch."
