The Omni and the Omni-2 are the same - there is one EG for the synth.
Playing a key re-triggers any keys that are already pressed - that
is normal. The re-triggering is less noticable by playing in an
arpeggiated style, rolling your chords up into your melody line.
Try setting the sliders on the ADSR as follows:
| | | +
| | | |
| + | |
+ | + |
A D S R
If you hold a note down (legato), it will have a short decay.
If you play staccato, it will sustain.
With the filter and resonance set high, you get a nice Harpsichord.
Then mix in the strings with a slow attack.
Have fun, and good luck.

I guess that means the Omni I has one central EG where as the Omni
II has individuals?

Thank you. Good insight here!
There is one problem though and it comes from my
description of the problem and for that, I'm sorry! The problem. now that I go
back to the Omni and work with it again, is the re-triggering is actually
happening upon release of the keys. So I press a key, and it sounds. Then I
release the key and it sounds again. If I hold a chord, and release one key, the
entire chord retriggers.
I appreciate everyone's help!! Have a wonderful
Holiday Season and Happy New Year!!
