In the past I wrote that the Waldorf Wave was the Ferrari of Synthesizers. The Omega 8 is the Shelby Cobra. This is nothing subtle about this guy, but it will peel the paint off of your studio walls. V2.0 increases utility, but I can help but stack up those 16 vco's and rattle the windows. If you have to ask how much, it might be too much, but you will never be sorry. Now if I could talk Greg into doing CS80 filters......

the specifications are unusual for a regular analoge synth , and its worth the high price ,

ill focus about the sound as you can find all specifications in thier site; imagine playing chords with the most evil sounds droppps sqeekkks that makes moog synths feel so cheep ,amazing quality format , heaven of modullar multivoice programmable fattest sounds... it goes well with the se1x along it ...

The Omega is similar in some ways to a Prophet V (which I played for years), but has a number of features that bring into this century. As mentioned above, it has a full MIDI implementation, and it fully multi-timbral. There are stereo outputs for EACH voice, and mono inputs for each voice as well. You can use it as an 8-channel filter/processor for external audio if desired. The Prophet had a 24dB/oct Moog-style filter. The Omega has both Moog- and Oberhiem-style (12dB/oct) filters; the latter has 4 modes (LP, BP, HP, BR). Arp 2600 and TB303 filters are optionally available. There is an arpeggiator for those so inclined. There are 2 LFOs and 3 EGs, with flexible routing for all. If you want to get deep into it, the Omega will take you there.

All in all, I can't say enough about it. Do give it a listen if you're a fan of analog - you won't be disappointed.
