Rave Generation: OMEGA-50
Mid-80s six-voice polysynth
OMEGA-50 is a six-voice polyphonic synthesizer modeled on the Roland MKS-50, the rack version of the Alpha Juno: pulse, sawtooth, sub-oscillator and noise into a high-pass and a resonant low-pass filter, one envelope, one LFO and the stereo chorus, with the 64 factory tones.
Every parameter sits on its own knob in our own panel, with a live drawing of the envelope, and the patch settings sit beside them: key shift, detune, poly, chord and mono modes, portamento and mod wheel depth.
Includes 64 presets.
