Preliminary results are reported for a monitoring program on ω Cen. We search for multi-mode SX Phe stars and changes in pulsation parameters of the cluster variables in order to test models of stellar evolution. With a periodogram for 10,000 light curves, we estimate that ω Cen hosts several hundred SX Phe stars.
