Members Tony Scharf Posted September 20, 2008 Members Share Posted September 20, 2008 I just took delivery of a studio electronics Omega 8. Is not mine, but on loan from Syncretism. I hooked it up as normal, an started playing through the presets. Awesome. Very very very nice sounding. I really love it...except for one small issue... None of the front panel knobs seem to work (except for the volume knob and the data value knob). Every switch works fine, so I dont think the panel electronics are actually broken... but I dont know... Does anyone here have an Omega who can tell me if this is normal behavior and I am just doing something stupidly wrong, or do I an sync have a serious problem on our hands.. Any help greatly appreciated. p.s. even just the presets sound wicked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members drxcm Posted September 20, 2008 Members Share Posted September 20, 2008 Don't know the Omega 8, but in general always check 1. local control on 2. no loose cable inside.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Tony Scharf Posted September 20, 2008 Author Members Share Posted September 20, 2008 If there is a Local control switch, I sure as hell cant find it. As to popping the hood...I am going to wait until I get a direct order from the owner to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Tony Scharf Posted September 20, 2008 Author Members Share Posted September 20, 2008 FOUND IT. The parameter is called MPRO and I couldnt see it till I updated to the latest OS. The Omega is...AWESOME. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members cl516 Posted September 20, 2008 Members Share Posted September 20, 2008 so when you guys refer to Omega, does that clearly differentiate it from the Code 8? can anyone direct me to find what's the difference? omega: arpeggiator? cheaper?code8: sine, no arpeggiator, overdrive, filter switching thing...

Members Carey M Posted September 20, 2008 Members Share Posted September 20, 2008 omega: arpeggiator? cheaper?code8: sine, no arpeggiator, overdrive, filter switching thing... Yep, that's it. Also, if you are buying an older Omega, the envelopes may be slower than the newer/Code envelopes. - CM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cl516 Posted September 20, 2008 Members Share Posted September 20, 2008 i'm sorry guys, if i ask another omega/code question is it hijacking? how many voices would you guys say is good to get if 8 is too expensive.me thinking 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Carey M Posted September 20, 2008 Members Share Posted September 20, 2008 how many voices would you guys say is good to get if 8 is too expensive. me thinking 4. Well, if you are not using it as a regular analogue polysynth, four voices will do fine, IMHO... I'd need at least six voices for basic polyphonic playing, etc. You'd also be missing out on layering patches when playing chords... - CM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
