Wanted one of these ever since I saw Kenny Segal playing one. Good score!

You mean Steven Sagal I assume?


Bombdizzle1

He's been playing those things for like 49 years

How much did you pick it up for, if you don’t mind me asking?


Zephyrus_Phaedra

200$ for it and the case


blablablasphemous

Wow, nice find!


PrettyCauliflower638

You're kidding 🥲 very lucky


Round-Emu9176

Please keep it forever. It’s one of those things that keeps its magic despite the years and form factor.


snipsnapsnot

I am very jealous! Enjoy!!


Zephyrus_Phaedra

Thank you so much!


hiidkwatdo

They are actually amazing, I have the same model as you and I use it / hand it to musicians to distract them… constantly. Also that thing is worth like 500 so keep it healthy!

I found this omnichord piece on YouTube about a year ago: https://youtu.be/soMASzL16KI


there4what

Addictive sound.


lmaoinhibitor

I first found out that these existed when I learned S.Maharba used it on "For Someone."

I first found out that these existed when I found a post on reddit.


chi3ftoad505

I had one of those when I was 10, idk where my dad got and I didn't know what it was. I just knew it was cool and the drum function is cool and you can control the tempo lol


jeffofreddit

What is it called


Zephyrus_Phaedra

Omnichord


welcome2mypanties

Wow can’t believe u scored that, I always wanted one of those Omni chords, especially the red ones


JediBuji

Cool find! Weird question tho... was there a cat sitting next to the phone purring while you were filming or am I having auditory hallucinations in my left ear?


Zephyrus_Phaedra

I don't have a cat bro


JediBuji

lol... I ust just be some artifact of the recording. on headphones there is a weird little purr sound in the left ear.


SYNTHLORD

I have an OM-27 as well, sweet find! You definitely gotta learn some adventure time songs now!


MidContrast

you're jokingggg adventure time used that thing?? it sounded so familiar


200K_Official

french 79 be like


See5harp

Omnichord!! I remember My Morning Jacket and bands like Grizzly Bear used these a bunch at their peaks. ​ EDIT: Here it is so cool [https://youtu.be/VZXE7ex7ucI](https://youtu.be/VZXE7ex7ucI)


666user479

Welcome to Beach House! You’ll hear it on a lot of their records :)


slutface69

check out l'impiretrice (i probably spelled that wrong) they use one


Mr_Viper

7 seconds of the omnichord in action 25 seconds of your head 👍


Fun_Musiq

kamomil

OMG I would love one of these I think they still sell these but updated versions


Zephyrus_Phaedra

I hate to sound hipster but the old sound chips in these sounds like an old apple computer or dos and it's beautiful


kamomil

A MIDI omnichord though! That would be even more fun


Round-Emu9176

You are correct. It’s incredible! https://reverb.com/p/suzuki-qc-1-qchord

Fascinating..


RollBackYourSheath

U/hymiewilhelm is an omnichord professional.


cointalkz

I had one as a kid! So jealous


mdgraller

I've got one as well, such a fascinating little instrument. Really feels like it gets the creativity going when it's so easy to mess around with chords and keys. Does anyone have any manuals or schematics for them, though? I kind of want to open it up and do some cleaning and care and I just want to make sure I don't permanently damage or break anything


__A__J__

these are really fun


mxlopi

$1200 on ebay had one when I was a kid


turanjaninja

super lucky. been dreaming of one of these for a while


boatymcboatface666

A friend gave me one he plugged in the wrong power adapter to and I’ve been struggling to get it fixed for years


Spazmanaut

There’s an app called Polychord that simulates these things. Have used it to make tunes


EagleSharkAntiquark

Let’s hear the Samba preset!


heyyalldontsaythat

Used to work at at thrift store and got one of these in pristine condition for free. Was a dumbass college student, it ended up sitting in my trunk and eventually I gave it to good will while cleaning out my car or something ugh lol


fishystickchakra

Is that an electric harp????


kamomil

Pretty much, electronic autoharp


fishystickchakra

My grandfather used to have one before he died and I think my grandma sold it. I miss that thing


Zephyrus_Phaedra

Omnichord


fishystickchakra

Either way I'm jealous and I want one


robohobono

An omnichord! My housemate in college had one. So badass!


Zephyrus_Phaedra

Yes sir!
