The Omega 8 is an eight-voice, discrete circuit, multi-timbral, stereo, multi
filtered, arpeggiating, DSP free Analog Dream Machine. Overflowing
with elaborate MIDI control, dynamic signal processing, and expansive
modulation, its sound creation and manipulation could very well
exceed the boundaries of your imagination. Apparitional pads, foundational
basses, revelatory leads, electrosonic drums, other-worldly sound
effects and utterly massive synthetic soundscapes... The Studio
Electronics Omega8 delivers true ANALOG stimulation. Exactly what
you need to compete and remain a vital force in today's highly charged
musical ecology.

GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS
Voices: eight.
Multitimbrality: eight part; Parameters: patch, number of voices, mono or poly.
Audio outputs: one stereo per voice. One main stereo and main mono
output.
Interface: 32 knobs (relative and jump modes), I rotary encoder,
35 tactile switches, 24 LEDS.
Display: 16 x 2 back lit liquid crystal.

VOICE ARCHITECTURE
Two voltage controlled discrete
analog oscillators and one sub wave of Oscillator 1
Waveforms: triangle, sawtooth and variable width square. All waveforms
output simultaneously. Syncing of Osc 2 to Osc 1.
Two voltage controlled discrete
analog filters
24db (classic Moog), 12 db (classic Oberheim). 12db filter has low
pass, bandpass, high pass and band reject modes. Each voice has
the capability of having four different filters available for use.
Additional filters (up to 2 per voice) can be added as desired in
any number. Filters do not operate in series or parallel. Current
additional filters available: Roland 303, Arp 2600.
Three low frequency oscillators
(LFO3 fixed to voice panning)
Waveforms: triangle, sawtooth, reverse sawtooth, square, noise,
random. Up to three destinations and depths each for LFOs 1&2
with range, delay, key trigger, phase, mode (mono or poly), quantize,
midi sync.
Three multiple stage envelope generators
Attack, decay, sustain and release with inverting and multiple triggering.
Envelopes 1&2 have additional delay, decay2, and breakpoint
parameters. Envelope 1 fixed to filter frequency. Envelope 2 fixed
to amplifier level. Envelope 3 is assignable with up to three destinations
and depths.
Arpeggiator
Parameters: tempo, direction, range, interval, midi sync.
Glide
Linear or exponential. Parameters: time, mode (auto, legato, glissando),
autoglide interval, dynamics, destination.
Unison mode
One, two, four, six, or eight voices.
Additional
Features
Oscillator 2 audio frequency modulation.
Destinations: Osc 1 frequency, Osc 1 pulse width, filter frequency.
White noise generator. Auto triggering external input processor
on each voice. Parameters: input level, trigger level, mix level,
window.
Modulation
Destinations
LFOs1&2 and envelope 3: VCO 1&2 frequency, pulse width,
and mix level, VCF frequency and resonance, noise level, Xmod amount,
LFOs 1&2 rate and depth, VCA level, external mix level.
MIDI Specifications
In out and thru. Receives: program change, bank select, glide on/off,
glide time, volume, SYSEX. Controllers: dynamics, modwheel, bender,
pressure destination and amount (x2). Controller 1 assignment: dyn,
mod, pressure, bend, tracking, continuous cont #2 (x2), controller
1 amount (x2). Controller 2 assignment - same as controller 1 (x2),
controller 2 amount (x2). Dynamics, tracking, and bender have positive
and negative modulation. Fixed continuous controller assignments
for all key functions.
MIDI Controllers
Dynamics, modwheel, bender, pressure, tracking, breath controller:
all LFO1&2 and envelope 3 destinations, including envelopes
1, 2, and 3 attack, decay, sustain, release, amount.
