A friend of mine ( just died of COVID in 21) gave me this modal years ago, I play with it now and then. I also play guitar and ukulele. I'm hoping to find the Qchord that came after or one of the upgrades, it's a shame that products like this go out of print, doesn't make sense.
I had a Q-chord and sold it - the sounds were typical standard digital ones, not interesting. I like the simplicity of the earlier models. I also did get an Omni 200M as it has MIDI out.
I’ve recently become enthralled with analog electronics and I’ve fallen in love with the Omnichord and hope to get one someday. It’s fun to see old technology from before my time regaining popularity :]
A great review on this instrument that I just found out about today. I was lucky enough to find one in excellent condition in original case for a price that I was felt was reasonable. Can't wait to try it out! Newly subscribed. 🎶
I just saw one of these listed online and had to learn about it. This would be the perfect kid instrument if it were not so expensive. No chord theory to stand in your way of making complex chord movement and the arpeggios sound so nice and sweet.
Thank YOU, Kendra. Comments like yours make me very happy! 😎👌 PS: if you like Satie, please check out my interpretation of him: soundcloud.com/morgan-fisher/sets/inside-satie
What about the Casio PT-1 Morgan? You showed that to me back in the day and I bought one! My kids plagued me by playing the demo tune over and over, so I removed the little rubber button. But they figured out they could use a pencil tip to start it! DRAT!
No, mate, not stiff - factual. This is a demo, not a concert. I wanted to explain all the functions and keep it short. I'm sure you can find dozens of Omnichord performances on youtube. Here's one modestly-titled example: ruclips.net/video/bBrxLHmObwc/видео.html
As used by David Bowie, Brian Eno, Daniel Lanois, Mark Mothersbaugh, Gorillaz, etc... Depends how you use it. With the addition of a nice reverb and other effects, I have enjoyed making some atmospheric, expressive music with it. Suzuki still make one, renamed the Q-Chord.
昔の機材は本当に良い音色だと思います。エフェクターをかけると、かかり方が自然でフワッとした感じになりやすいです。
Such an intriguing instrument. Dave Knudson/Minus the Bear brought me here.

@bigdee2507 - A new model just came out - the OM-108. But I still prefer the old ones!
Very informative and interesting demo; thank you for sharing!
My pleasure!
i immediately thought , jean michel jarre - oxygene....when the rhythm began! love the harp sound, like it's got built in reverb. nice one morgan.
Actually I added a little reverb to the sound ;-)
This is so wonderful Morgan!!
Thanks Robin!

I'm sure you'll have a great time with your Omni! Good luck in finding one! I bought my three on eBay.

Well done! Thanks for enjoying this video. When you can, try it through reverb, delay, chorus effects, etc., it really comes alive then!
Terrific stuff, my friend!
I just bought one but when I first saw this video when it came out I've been wanting one ever sense thank you for uploading this video :)
Thank you - my pleasure. Have fun with it!
新しいオムニコードでたね😊

Keep looking in eBay, etc., you might find a bargain! The earliest OM-27 model is the simplest for kids.
Love all these gadgets!
Amazing review!!! Thank you!!!

Thanks 👍. informative!
音色がファミコンソフトのBGMを彷彿させる
Coolest non instrument ever 💪🏿🔥

Haha - nice story!
オタマトーンも、浜松のスズキ楽器だったような。
its a shame they go up to about half a grand in usd.
I have seen them as high as $1500!! But sometimes good prices can be found if you keep searching...
@@morganfisherart truee
is there a dupe for it?
What do you mean by "dupe?"
sounds like the Gorillaz song Clint Eastwood
It is... Damon Albarn uses one
Pretty stiff review, guy. Wanna hear you PLAY that thang

@@morganfisherart "Modestly titled" - LOL, nice one. All the best.
Atrocious music toy. No wonder Suzuki stopped making them.
Fun fact, they didn't :)

possibly the worst take ever
