Suzuki carefully selected 10 tones which represent popular instruments from the past, and still resonate in today's music scene.Rhythm Equipped with a selection of 10 rhythm patterns that correspond to a variety of music styles. For the first time on any Omnichord, the OM-108 features a trap beat (hip-hop). In addition, although some rhythms share the same name as the past models, Suzuki has updated many, by incorporating rhythm patterns that are more current.Chord You can play 108 chords just by pressing 1 to 3 chord buttons. sus4 and add9 chords, which are often used in popular music, have been added to the OM-108.Main and Sub Voice Volume Each of the 10 tones can be layered with a second tone: Main Voice and Sub Voice, and these can be controlled with individual knobs. For example, when harp is selected, harp is assigned to the Main Voice, and Synth Strings is assigned to the Sub Voice. Create your own sound by adjusting each volume control, thus changing the balance between the two voices. Each Main Voice is preassigned with a tone as a Sub Voice that will resonate beautifully when layered.Strum Plate The strumplate is one of the Omnichord's major features. If you slide your fingers on the strumplate while holding down a chord button, the chord and corresponding arpeggio will sound, similar to a harp, across four octaves.Speaker When connecting to an external speaker etc., you can turn on/off the sound produced by the speaker of the instrument. Suzuki listened to the request of Omnichord players who wanted to monitor their own sound during live performances.Real-Time Control It integrates multiple functions that allow you to change the way you play chords and rhythms, such as playing at free tempo, adding bass accompaniment, or starting with a drum prelude.MIDI Out You can send chords, strumplate, and drum performance information via MIDI OUT.
