1981 Suzuki Omnichord Model OM-27 Demo

Here is a Suzuki Omnichord, Model OM-27, introduced in 1981. I am playing an old Christmas carol (O Holy Night) to demonstrate how it works. Omnichord automatically plays the background music to your favorite songs by providing 27 major, minor or 7th chords that you select (hence the model number, OM-'27'). You can choose from six drum patterns or activate the walking bass line. This electronic harp can even be strummed like a guitar with the amazing 'Sonic Strings' touchplate. Just select a chord and run your fingers along the electronically charged touchplate. Omnichord produces 4 full octaves of your pre-selected chord. It produces sound through its built in speaker and internal amplifier. The Omnichord can be plugged into your own stereo sound system.
