Description: Description SUZUKI OMNICHORD OM-108 STRUMPLATE AUTO BASS CHORD ELECTRONIC MUSICAL NEW Features of the OmnicordThe Omnicord is a unique electronic instrument featuring an autoharp, originally released by Suzuki in 1981. It gained immense popularity, especially in Europe and North America, as a new instrument that anyone could enjoy anywhere. Although production ended with the OM-300 in 1996, its popularity endured, leading to its revival in 2024 as the OM-108. Simple and Instant AccompanimentThe Omnicord comes equipped with a harp sensor (strum plate) and automatic accompaniment functionality (auto bass chords). By simply pressing a chord button and sliding your fingers across the strum plate, you can create accompaniment to songs on the very day you start playing. Play Anytime, AnywhereDespite its built-in speaker, the Omnicord is compact and lightweight, running on batteries for easy portability. It can be powered by eight AA batteries or an optional AC adapter (sold separately), allowing you to play wherever you go. Additionally, it features connections for external amplifiers and headphones, making it ideal for studio sessions, live performances, or practice in the comfort of your own room. OM-108: For Beginners and Professional Musicians AlikeThe OM-108 does not feature a display like many electronic instruments. Instead, it operates based on the settings you adjust with buttons and knobs, making it intuitive for beginners while providing a real-time interface for professional musicians to create sounds on the fly. It can be used similarly to a keyboard or rhythm machine, and offers MIDI OUT for expanded sound options. The Omnicord’s appeal lies in its versatility, allowing for both casual enjoyment and more complex, niche playing styles. 1. KEYBOARDActivating this button allows you to play melodies and percussion sounds using the chord buttons. A new feature has been added that assigns percussion sounds to the strum plate simultaneously. 2. VOICEThe Omnicord includes ten different tones for the strum plate. For its revival, the sounds "omni1" and "omni2" are recreated using analog circuits from the second model, OM-84. Additionally, sounds have been carefully selected from various past models, including "celeste" and "harp," while the iconic '80s electric piano sound, "FM piano," has also been added. These ten tones will resonate with long-time fans and current music scenes alike. Available Tones:omni1 / omni2 / harp / celeste / A.piano / guitar / FM piano / organ / vibes / banjo 3. RHYTHMThe OM-108 features ten rhythm patterns that cater to various musical styles. For the first time, it includes a "hip hop" rhythm with a trap beat. Even patterns with the same names as in previous models have been updated to reflect contemporary music trends. Available Rhythms:rock1 / rock2 / slow rock / country / swing / disco / hip hop / funk / bossanova / waltz 4. CHORDWith just one to three chord buttons pressed, you can play a total of 108 chords (12 root notes × 9 types). In addition to the standard seven chord types like "major" and "diminished," the OM-108 introduces the popular "sus4" and "add9" chords commonly used in contemporary music. 5. Main & Sub Voice VolumeEach of the ten tones for the strum plate can be layered with a Main and Sub voice, which can be controlled with knobs. For example, when "harp" is selected as the Main voice, "Synth Strings" can be assigned as the Sub voice. Adjusting their volumes alters how they blend, adding depth and character to the sound. Each Main voice is pre-assigned with a Sub voice that harmonizes beautifully when layered. 6. STRUM PLATEThe strum plate is one of the standout features of the Omnicord. By pressing a chord button and sliding your fingers across the strum plate, you can produce arpeggios that span four octaves, reminiscent of a harp. 7. SPEAKERYou can toggle the internal speaker ON/OFF when connecting to external speakers (like a keyboard amplifier). This feature allows users to monitor their sound during live performances. 8. REAL TIME CONTROLThe OM-108 consolidates multiple functions, allowing you to switch between different ways of playing chords and rhythms, such as adding bass accompaniment or starting with a drum intro. 9. MIDI OUTMIDI OUT allows you to send performance information for chords, strum plate, and drums. The strum plate can transmit data on two MIDI channels, enabling sound layering with MIDI sound sources.
