Description: Omnichord is an original Suzuki electronic instrument released in 1981 featuring an autoharp. It became popular especially in Europe and the United States as a new instrument that anyone can enjoy anywhere. As a series, sales ended with the OM-300 released in 1996, but its popularity has not waned since then, and it was reissued as the OM-108 in 2024. Play lightly. Play deeply.You can play immediately with a simple playing technique.Omnichord is an electronic instrument with an automatic accompaniment function (auto bass chord) equipped with a harp sensor (strum plate). Simply press the chord button and slide your finger on the strum plate to accompany a song on the day you pick it up. You can play it anytime, anywhere.It has a built-in speaker, but is small and lightweight, and is battery-powered*, so it is easy to carry and play anywhere. It can also be connected to an external amplifier and headphones, so you can play in the best possible environment at any time, from a studio or live house to practicing in your own room.*Powered by 8 AA batteries or a dedicated AC adapter (both sold separately). For both beginners and professional musicians. The OM-108 does not have a display like many electronic instruments, and sounds are set directly with the buttons and knobs. For beginners, it is an intuitive and easy-to-understand interface, while for professional musicians, it allows you to create sounds on the panel and play in real time. It can be used like a keyboard or rhythm machine, and the sound can be expanded with MIDI OUT. The appeal of the Omnichord is that it can be enjoyed casually, in a nutshell, or in a way that suits the player. Features1 KEYBOARD: When this button is turned on, you can play melodies and percussion sounds with the chord buttons. A new function has also been added that allows percussion sounds to be assigned to the strum plate at the same time.2 VOICE: Equipped with 10 strum plate sounds. For the reissue, the sounds of the "omni1" and "omni2" are reproduced by analog circuits, just like the 2nd model OM-84. In addition to carefully selecting "celeste" and "harp" from various past models, the new model is equipped with the electric piano "FM piano", which was all the rage in the 1980s. These 10 tones are nostalgic for fans of the past, but also appeal to the current music scene.3 RHYTHM: Equipped with 10 types of rhythm patterns that can be used for a variety of songs. The OM-108 is the first to use a trap beat as "hip hop". Even rhythms with the same names as past models have been updated with more modern rhythm patterns.4 CHORD: You can play 108 chords (12 roots x 9 types) by simply pressing 1 to 3 chord buttons. In addition to the previous 7 chord types such as "major" and "diminish", the OM-108 has added "sus4" and "add9th" chords, which are often used in popular music.5 Main & Sub Voice Volume: Each of the 10 tones of the strum plate can be layered with two tones, Main and Sub, which can be controlled with a knob. For example, when you select "harp," "harp" is assigned to the Main and "Synth Strings" to the Sub. Adjusting the volume of each voice changes the way they overlap, giving expression to the tone. A tone that sounds beautiful when layered is pre-assigned to each Main Voice as a Sub Voice.6 STRUMPLATE: The strum plate is one of the major features of the Omnichord. Press the chord button and slide your finger across the strum plate to play the corresponding chord and arpeggio over four octaves, like a harp.7 SPEAKER: When connected to an external speaker (keyboard amplifier), you can turn the internal speaker on and off. This was made to meet the needs of users who wanted to monitor their own sound during live performances.8 REAL TIME CONTROL: This consolidates multiple functions that allow you to change how you play chords and rhythms, such as adding a bass accompaniment or starting with a drum intro.9 MIDI OUT: You can send chord, strum plate, and drum performance information from MIDI OUT. The strum plate can be sent on two MIDI channels, allowing you to layer sounds even with a MIDI sound source.
