8 sinewave generators for Oscillator 1 and the brilliant new Filter Control Section––which allow sweeping and tweaking the discrete filter types in real time (as opposed to unreal?), set this NovaMusik-partnered Omega Series Synth apart from our beloved, standard issue Omega 8s. Switches in the Filter Control Section also contribute to the CODE's expressiveness via momentary control of assignable parameters.

All models are available in an "OD" version; as in warm and fuzzy classic analog amp overdrive for each stereo voice. Start out modestly with a Mono CODE and work your way up (2, 4) to a figure that works for eight; voices that is.

As with the Omega 8, the CODE is powered by S.E.M. and Mini filters standard, 128 Multimode patches, 512 Factory Presets: includes the Theriot ($139 sold separately) and Cadix ($189 sold separately).

A word on the visuals: The C.O.D.E.'s 7 layer, Class-A "Enigma Code" inspired paint job is a victory (scary site; amazing screening) in and of itself. "WORK."

CODE what? CODE cool...
