The Suzuki Omnichord OM-108 is an impressive fusion of the distinctive sounds of an accordion, the versatility of an accompaniment machine, and the technology of a tone generator. Originally launched in the 1980s, this instrument is now enjoying a modern renaissance with updates celebrating the 70th anniversary of Suzuki Musical Instruments Manufacturing. Suzuki has optimized the OM-108 for contemporary use by equipping it with a modern MIDI-out interface, allowing seamless integration into larger musical setups. The Omnichord’s unique touch-sensitive surface (Strumplate) lets musicians create and control notes and chords simply by touching and swiping. This intuitive playing method encourages creativity and experimentation, making the OM-108 a versatile tool for musicians seeking new forms of musical expression.
