Anyma Omegas from Aodyo - Now Bankrupt

Three month shipping delay, because the screens they were going to use are now unavailable. Curious to hear if they’ve already got everything else delivered in sufficient quantity; hopefully. On the bright side, hopefully this means that much more software maturity at launch.

I like the brass module ( on the way ), you can hear a demo here.

It sounds good, I’m just hoping it has a wide playable range as the current Windsyo models are a bit range limited.

Tuba to Dizzy Gillespie !

There has been a lot of back and forth over in this thread trying to pick close replacements for the out of production Nord Modular G2.

It didn’t get listed there at all, but i think it’s the Omega !

The Omega doesn’t have an FM oscillator, and is much stronger with physical modelling, but absolutely not limited to that. But the strength of control of a modularly configurable architecture is quite close in concept. The Omega even matches with the four part multi-timbrality.

CORRECTION : It does have FM, see below.

It also will have the built-in sequencer, and all the on-board controls.

Plus the O will be editable on-screen without having to have an external computer, although that off-board editor will also be available, and likely as good as the one on the Phi.

So i think the Omega is the answer. But don’t tell anyone.

Does anyone think that Aodyo had this in mind at all as a similar product, when they were designing the O ?

Jukka:

The Omega doesn’t have an FM oscillator

Seems like that would be a pretty easy feature to add later at this point, too, if they decide it’s a priority.

The Phi has some FM functionality I think, though not presented as an oscillator (as an effect I think ?). I’d be surprised if the same thing was not present in the Omega.

EDIT: On the Phi, it’s an effect module called “FM Operator”

Thank you.

You are right and it is listed in the Omega module pdf as well, where i missed it, and had forgotten, it being in the effects section.

That then makes the O an even a better candidate, for replacing the G2.

Hard to say because the Omega is not out yet and it seams that what people love about the Nord is the digital sound (a bit like the MnM).

I actually kind of hope he doesn’t have this sound signature. Physical modeling should be closer to an instrument.

Otherwise, about the modularity and the manual control with sequencer (i still wait to see what is possible there) it makes it a potential amazing machine.
Can’t wait to put my hands on it to find out

Will you stop it, please?

Omar · 2023-04-23T11:48:17.504Z

Is there any manual out yet?

Omar:

Is there any manual out yet?

Definitely not, it is still under development. You can surmise many things, from the images of the UI, and the feature list on the Kickstarter page, and that it shares the basic modular layout with the Anyma Phi, times four that is. ( With sixteen voices too. )

There is the pdf list of the modules for the Omega, which is not in stone ( yet ), but pretty solid. Again that’s what is on the Phi.

And hopefully some more information, maybe a loose video or something, from the SFF Show this weekend.

Omar · 2023-04-23T14:46:46.980Z

Much appreciated, thx!
I was also wondering about the internal sequencer.
Any heads-up about that?

EDIT: Sorry, I found it myself
“Sequencer (on each part): 32 steps sequencer on each part (with or without key transpose), 128 notes polyphonic sequencer, realtime motion sequencer, ratchet, swing and probability settings”

Some chat about the price at just before the 14:00 mark … my French isn’t good enough to pick out exactly what they said though.

EDIT: Did I hear “uncertain, but 1,200 for desktop, 1,600 for keyboard” ?

EDIT 2: Ah … pretty much what is suggested by the kickstarter page.

that sounds funny

new video in English

Man, the French synth companies, both big and small, are really killing it these days. Anyma, Expressive E, Kodamo, Arturia, and I’m sure there are others I’m forgetting…

Omar · 2023-04-25T23:22:17.654Z

Norand and Twisted Electrons

And their electronic musicians are great, too.
