Modern alternative to Arp Omni 2
Since original Omni 2s are difficult to come by are there any modern hardware alternatives to the Omni 2?

if you're just interested in the Omni's strings sounds, check out the Waldorf Streichfett.

I've not got any sitting around restored right now, but I have a number of them (8 I believe) that I can restore and make available to people who are seriously interested. Contact me through my site if you are.Ashe37 wrote:Oh? can't you find them under "Synthesizers" on your site...synthchaser wrote:I've got a bunch of Omni 2's, and I make them reliable!

The silky-rich sound of the Omni is very hard to emulate, but as far as modern simikar instruments go , as the first paraphonic analog for so many years, the Behringer VC340 could be worth a try out ! ;.)
