Yes, it's quite limited...no memory, no MIDI---a truly real-time machine.
(If you can handle the way it gets out of tune after powering-up)
But for strings, it's got a real thick sound. And although I'm not much
into it, the BASS has a real fat bottom. The sound for anything in this
board are quite dry, but all it takes is a little bit of reverb to liven it up---
then the strings come alive!!! And for the little bit of programmer in all
of us, the LFO & ADSR sliders allow a bit of manipulation. Being able
to mix the strings and synth parts is a real boon, for sweetening up the
strings sound, for example. Not a bad vintage synth to have around... I picked-up my Omni-2 in 1994, second-hand from the original owner
for $200. That included shipping from the Minneapolis area to Chicago
area (my bargaining chip). The beast weighs about 70 pounds, but I'll
keep it for what it stands for---the good old days of the analog timeline
in synth history...(that is, unless someone wants to take it off my hands
for a reasonable price)!!!
