Operating System
The operating system of the Omega 8 is easy to use and simple to program. It gives the user
complete control of the numerous functions and features quickly and efficiently. The front panel
knobs give you instant access to all major parameters and the edit switches in each section
allow access to over 30 on screen edit pages. However, with the Omega 8 you are never more
than four button presses away from any edit page, quite unlike other synthesizers with multiple
edit pages. This allows in depth patch programming without the tedious routine of continuously
scrolling through on screen displays.
