# ARP Omni
“I’m reluctantly selling my lovely Arp Omni to fund a deposit on moving home. This is in good working order, with quite a few scratches here and there but certainly not bad looking for a 35 year old instrument; it has a couple of missing slider caps, and one key that is a bit resistant; by no means perfect but entirely operational. It is US 110V but I can include a step-down transformer for UK mains.
This is the MK 1 version which is a lot rarer than the later orange and black Omni-2. It is also in my opinion warmer sounding. The Omni comprises a string machine and 1-VCO synthesiser with LFO (and slider for rate), VCF cut-off and resonance, an ADSR, and includes chorus phaser and waveform enhancement effects to add colour to the basic sound. I’ve taken some photos so that you can see all the features. The string sounds are beautiful and rival the Solina in their lushness. The keyboard splits when bass and cello are selected so that you can play vioilins/violas with your right hand and the lower stuff with you left hand. There is a mixer to get different volume levels for the synth and strings. It has the usual suite of connections on the back (again, see the photo).” Link
