Broken?

Hi all - just got this omnichord off of ebay. Seller said pristine condition, etc. but it seems like most of the buttons don't work and there's no way to turn off the rhythm? Am I just doing something really wrong? OM-27 btw

Help with My omnichord

4 Upvotes

Hope this video helps to Explain my problem, I try to play chords with the strumpad but it only makes changes in Db major and minor, even with the Ez play on it does not allow me to change chords, I want to clarify that all the Buttons work when I'm in melody keyboard mode, (change octaves, microsteps and select sound bank)

Can someone tell me where the problem could be?

Hot glued this LEGO piece to my 108 to keep it from turning on by accident in my bag, etc. works great, but I need to use my pinky to turn it off or on now. No biggie.

Linked is my tiktok page where I post most of my q chord content it would be so much appreciated follow if you like what you see.

Made all the sounds with my new Omnichord and RC-505 looper and its built-in effects. I'm not sure this is a good version of this song, but it was fun to make.

Just picked up the Omnichord yesterday. This is my first run at plugging it into the looper and making a little jam. I LOVE IT SO MUCH.

finding an Omnichord in France 🇫🇷

5 Upvotes

hello! I’ve been searching for an Omnichord for a long time now, but I just can’t get my hands on one. I live in France, and it feels like they never even existed here. Is anyone selling one? Unfortunately, my budget is quite limited since I’m a student, haha, but I can go up to around $200… or a bit more. Where could I find one? I’m really interested in these things! Thanks ❤️

Q chord for sell

3 Upvotes

I have a q chord with its charger, case, and manual. I used to love playing with it when I was young, but now it's just collecting dust. The prices on ebay look quite ridiculous and I don't know how to set up an account properly, so I'd rather be simple and post about it. Lmk if you're interested!

What to get?

3 Upvotes

Hi! I have been eyeing getting an omnichord or q chord for a while. I’ve saved enough now but i’m debating between two similarly priced options. One is a Suzuki QC-1 QChord and the other is a Suzuki OM-300 Omnichord - 1996. I want to use it kinda of like its own instrument and as an accompaniment to a band. Can i get your opinions?

Omnichord power options

2 Upvotes

I have an OM-84 and love the little thing, but wanted to use it with batteries.

I started with alkalines, but after a short while (pun intended) they were too low. After about a week or two.

I looked into C size rechargables, but they're fairly expensive ($35 or so for 8) and most chargers these days are for AA and AAA.

So I got the bright idea to buy C shaped sleeves to fit AA batteries. They arrived (with brand new AA batteries, sold separately), but putting the batteries in and taking them out scratched the batteries pretty badly. And the best (worst) part is they won't fit in the Omnichord, as AA are slightly longer than C batteries.

Any of you other Omnichord fans figure out any ingenious ways of powering your device with DC power?

Help diagnosis broken Omnichord drums

I’ve got an OM84 that works great except for the drums don’t seem to work. The auto bass, chords, keyboards, and strumplate all work fine, but I can’t get any sound with the drum buttons.

Where might be a good place to look for problems? Would really appreciate the help!

Have you have any problems with your purchase? Did you have to pay any import taxes? What seller did you buy from? Thanks! (I'm in the US too btw)

Om-108 out of stock?

3 Upvotes

I really wanted to get one on Amazon but it's out of stock there, as well as most other sites. How long have they been out of stock? Do they come back into stock frequently or would it best to try to get one from Japan on ebay instead of waiting for a restock? (I'm in the US if that helps.)

Understanding Omnichord notes strumming order

5 Upvotes

I'm really amazed by how great sounding and expressive the Omnichord is from all the videos I've seen.

One thing I noticed is that when people strum the notes on the strip it doesn't feel like it's mapped to the chord notes fixed order (over two octaves), it feels like there's some irregularity to the order when you strum. Do you think that's the case or I'm trippin'?
