Suzuki OM-108 Omnichord
The Suzuki OM-108 Omnichord is a portable electronic musical instrument first released in 1981. It features an automatic accompaniment function with auto bass and chord, plus a harp sensor strumplate for triggering arpeggios. Designed for players of any skill level, it requires no prior musical training or ability to read staff notation. The unit includes a built-in speaker and a 1/4 inch line output for external amplification.
Built-in speaker and connectivity
The integrated speaker allows immediate playback without extra equipment, supporting the original play-anywhere concept. A 1/4 inch line out lets you connect to mixers, amplifiers or recording interfaces for live performance or studio use. MIDI out enables the OM-108 to control external sound modules, sequencers or computer software, expanding its role beyond the internal sound engine.
Power and integration checks
Verify the power supply requirements for your region before ordering, as the original unit was designed for specific mains voltages. Confirm that your MIDI interface or audio interface accepts standard 5-pin DIN and 1/4 inch TS connections respectively. Ensure you have the appropriate cables, as none are mentioned in the original specification.

Questions about this item
Will the harp sensor or chord buttons wear out and need replacement?
The harp sensor and chord buttons are solid-state with no moving parts, so they do not wear out mechanically; only physical damage would require service.
What limits continuous play before the sound cuts or distorts?
The internal speaker and amplifier are designed for typical session lengths; extended high-volume use may trigger thermal protection, so monitor the chassis temperature.
How much heat or noise does the unit produce after hours of use?
The OM-108 runs cool and silent — no fan, no moving parts — so heat stays low and the only sound is the audio from the speaker or line out.
