OM-108

Owner's Manual

Thank you for purchasing this unit.

The Omnichord is an electronic musical instrument with an automatic accompaniment function and is equipped with a strumplate.

The Omnichord was created in 1981 with the aim of being an electronic instrument similar to an autoharp.

To take full advantage of your Omnichord and use it safely, be sure to read this manual carefully.

The Omnichord is an electronic musical instrument with an automatic accompaniment function and is equipped with a harp sensor (strumplate). Your pre-selected chord is electronically matched to the four-octave strumplate so you can strum the correct chord progression for almost any song.

The Omnichord was created in 1981 with the aim of being an electronic instrument similar to an autoharp. Even when the last model bearing the Omnichord name was discontinued, its popularity remained undiminished, and in response to customer demand, Suzuki decided to release the OM-108.

MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is an internationally recognized communication standard allowing electronic musical instruments and sequencers to communicate with one another, regardless of manufacturers.

The MIDI of this unit transmits control messages such as “Chord button ON (pressed) or Off (released)” and “Strumplate On (touched) or Off (released)”, and parameter values such as volumes, sustain level and tempo.

* “MIDI” is the registered trademark in Japan of the Association of Musical Electronics Industry.

■ What you can do with the MIDI OUT port

By connecting a MIDI device to the MIDI OUT port of this unit, you can transmit MIDI data to the MIDI device.

(Examples of use)

• Perform a song on this unit with a sound generator of a MIDI device (such as a synthesizer or a digital piano).

• Play this unit in synchronization with a MIDI device (such as arranger keyboard and a sequencer).

• Record performance sounds on a sequencer or a PC (DAW).

■ About MIDI channels

MIDI has 16 MIDI channels that transmit various MIDI messages. MIDI devices communicate through MIDI messages via a MIDI cable.

This unit uses five MIDI channels that transmit playing information (such as operations of chord buttons or strumplate).

To transmit MIDI messages as intended, you need to match the MIDI channel settings on a transmitting side (this unit) and a receiving side (MIDI device). For details, refer to “MIDI information” (⇒).

■ About MIDI clock

MIDI clock is a signal transmitted at regular intervals and used for synchronizing the tempo of connected MIDI devices.

This unit transmit MIDI clock signals synchronized with the rhythm tempo. This enables you to play back automatic accompaniment or auto rhythm on the MIDI device (such as an arranger keyboard or drum machine) in accordance with the tempo of this unit.

Configure MIDI receive settings on the external MIDI device, and MIDI transmit settings on this unit.

1     Turn off this unit (⇒).

2     Press and hold the [VOICE] buttons which correspond to the setup parameters and press the [Power] button.

For details about each setup parameter, refer to “MIDI information” (⇒).

Example:

When selecting “Volume CC: On”. “Preset 2” and “Decay/Release CC: Off”

When selecting “Volume CC: Off”, “Preset 3” and “Decay/Release CC: On”

3     When the [VOICE] LED flashes, release the button.

This unit is turned on with the new setting.

■ System and real time messages

○: Yes, ×: No

■ Channel messages

○: Yes, ×: No

*1: When this unit is in keyboard mode, the “omni 1” voice will be monophonic locally, but MIDI will transmit all note messages according to the keys played.

*2: This message will be transmitted in synchronization with operations of the [STRUMPLATE Volume], [RHYTHM Volume] and [CHORD Volume] knobs when “Volume CC” is set to “On” (⇒). This allows you to adjust the volume balance when performing music. Some MIDI devices may not support this function.

*3: This message will be transmitted in synchronization with operations of the [STRUMPLATE Sustain] knob when “Decay/Release CC” is set to “On” (⇒). Some MIDI devices may not support this function.

About Decay/Release CC

■ MIDI transmit preset

This unit uses five MIDI channels to transmit the note messages (control information of the main voice, chords, bass, sub voice and drums).

By selecting a MIDI transmit preset in accordance with your purpose, this unit automatically controls how each note message is transmitted.

Preset 1 (Accomp and Strumplate voice)

• Transmit channels: CH1 to CH3

This preset transmits playing sounds of the strumplate (melody in keyboard mode), chords and bass to a multitimbral MIDI sound generator.

Example:

Play the strumplate, chords and bass while beating out a rhythm pattern of the arranger keyboard in synchronization with MIDI clock of this unit.

Preset 2 (Accomp and Two Strumplate voices)

• Transmit channels: CH1 to CH4

This preset transmits playing sounds of the strumplate (melody in the keyboard mode), chords and bass to a multitimbral MIDI sound generator.

Since strum sounds are transmitted to both CH1 and CH4, you can assign a different voice to each channel to create various sound effects.

Example:

Play the strumplate (in two different voices), chords and bass while beating out a rhythm pattern of the arranger keyboard in synchronization with MIDI clock of this unit.

Preset 3 (All Out)

• Transmit channels: CH1 to CH4, CH10

This preset transmits playing sounds of the strumplate (melody in keyboard mode), chords. bass and drums to a multitimbral MIDI sound generator.

For information about drum note messages transmitted by CH10 on this unit, refer to “Drum map” (⇒).

Example:

Apply note messages of this unit without using automatic rhythm/automatic function of an arranger keyboard.

Preset 4 (Strum Only)

• Transmit channels: CH1

This preset transmits playing sounds of the strumplate (melody in keyboard mode) only.

Select this preset when you want to add a performance of the strumplate to a MIDI sound generator of a single timbre (such as an electronic piano) or music created on DAW.

Example:

Model: OM-108 (Omnichord)

Date: 12-Feb-2024 (Version: 1.0)

Mode 1: OMNI ON, POLY / Mode 2: OMNI ON, MONO / Mode 3: OMNI OFF, POLY / Mode 4: OMNI OFF, MONO

○: Yes, X: No

*1: Not transmitted when the MIDI transmit preset is “Preset 4” (⇒).
