The Omnichord reimagined

Retro character, modern touch control.

The OH-27 by Omnichord Heaven brings the unmistakable charm, sound and feel of the legendary Suzuki Omnichord into a retro digital instrument that is ready for phone and tablet play.

Whether you are a seasoned musician or just exploring, the OH-27 invites you to touch, strum and create. The page is no longer hidden away from the rest of the site, and the Android release now gives the project a proper public home.

Performance

Authentic strumplate response

Smooth, continuous strumming with immediate musical feedback, designed to feel closer to real hardware than a generic synth pad.

Chord system

Full 27 chord layout

Major, minor and 7th chords are always within reach, with seamless switching while you play.

Sound engine

True Omnichord flavour

Custom waveform design, multi-voice strum layers, organ-style chord bed and deep bass accompaniment create a rich, warm and unmistakably classic tone.

Touch and MIDI

Modern control without losing the soul

Unified touch, mouse and stylus support sits alongside built-in three-channel MIDI output for external synths, DAWs and hardware.
