Omnichord OM300 Demonstration

A short improvisation on the omnichord to demonstrate this much underused instrument. The omnichord is capable of so much more than it tends to be used for but this is just me using the bare basics of the instrument.
Normally I'd have used a more professional cadence at the end but this is really more a test video than anything.
There will be more omnichord goodness to come! :)

Hey on your intro and at the end what did you use to make those beats ?

[weegerri1sm]

@parosite

Just the Drumatic 3 drum machine VSTi running through dBlue's Glitch effect VST on Cubase.

Never heard of this instrument. Love the sound on it. Reminds me a lot of old RPG video game music combine with 80's new wave romance. Good job! Now I am interested in this bit of kit. How much do they go for?

@mrgrimviking

Funnily enough, a lot more than before I posted this and my other Omnichord videos...

I seem to have single handedly increased the value and there for price of them threefold. Oops! :P

I got this one for around £49. Now they go, on average, for anything from £130 up to £160.

I've seen them go for anything up to £350!

They often come up on Ebay.

@weegerri1sm SHIT Sorry mate. Me and my big gob. Looked at some of your other vids too. There's some extraordinary stuff. The War Of The Worlds was ACE! I feel so bad saying that about the intro after you said such nice things on my beer review. Sorry again.

Heheh, it is, kinda, my own but don't worry.. I am pretty thick skinned. :P

It's a remixed cover I did of an old TV theme.

That's the kind of music I do most often, heavily electronic stuff.

[BeerGogglesReviews]

Hate the intro music. Sorry, I hope that wasn't your own.

As for the Omnichord playing. WOW! That sounds so cool.

When I'm not reviewing beers, I sing and play blues harmonica.

Seen these in music stores but never heard one before.

I'd love to try a blues jam with one. I wonder if that'd work.

Keep up that lovely playing. Terry Kay.
