SUZUKIOM-108 Omnichord

This is a cool musical instrument. Easy to use. Sounds good. Fun to play.

It's awesome, and I'm currently using batteries. But for this much money, it should come with a power adapter.

It was not satisfactory for me. It didn't always change chords when I pressed the button to the next chord. The final straw was that Amazon sent me a used return accidentally even though I ordered new and I paid full price.

The OM-108 is not an improvement on the OM-300 or QChord. It lacks many features those last Omnichords had like drum fill-in, different sounds for keyboard voices than strumplate (OM-300), song or rhythm cartridges (QChord), chord programmer (OM-300), 100 sounds (QChord), MIDI In (QChord), pitch bend wheel (QChord), built-in reverb and vibrato effects (QChord), etc.Rather, the OM-108 has unique features of its own like 11th & 9th chords in addition to the original 7 modes (9 modes x 12 keys = 108), the ability to play percussion sounds using top row buttons or the strumplate, different rhythm patterns, a software switch to change the percussion sounds to mimic the OM-84, etc.At $800 it's not cheap like it should be as it's also much smaller than the OM-27 it tries to resemble. The output through the 1/8" headphone and especially the 1/4" output is very low. It requires a special 12V (negative center) 1A universal/switching AC to DC adapter which is not included (which an extra $40). If a 500mA QChord adapter (QCA) is used, it makes an audible humming sound.But, it's still fun to play (like all Omnichords). Just not worth the price tag.[DW]
