Wow, you JUST posted this. Thanks! I was wondering how the new Omnichord OM-108 worked with MIDI, considering that some people have spoken unfavorably of the original Omnichord MIDI implementation. Seems Good.
I'm glad this video found you! Yeah I think the midi implementation is great fun, although one weird feature is that the chord and strum channels seem to output different velocities, if you send midi to one instrument with velocity sensitivity receiving all channels (I tried with an electric piano) you won't really be able to balance the chords with the strums. It's easily solved by having multiple instruments to chain though. I'm excited to actually get the model D working on the bass channel, that was my own user error but it gave some interesting results.
@@purple_martin I had some trouble getting the Omnichord MIDI to register on a few old samplers (Akai and Yamaha VSS30 mod), but worked pretty well on an old Alesis Quadrasynth and Oberheim 3000. I've had the best luck running it through EHX "9" series pedals, which gives you lots of different sounds without the MIDI issues. It sounded great through the Mel9.
@@estateownsghostshow Omg running it through an EHX Mel9 hadn't crossed my mind, that sounds so fun! I might need to get one, it's been on my radar for a while
Sony a7S II with a Rokinon 24mm f1.4 manual focus lens. I think I got the lens for something like 25 dollars sold as/is for parts, but they are usually still a mega value used if you don't mind manual focusing, it's been great for wider angle astrophotography, pet photos, synth videos, probably my favorite lens I own.
Definitely! I'll be making another om-108 video trying out some more synth combinations, I'll be sure to be more descriptive about how I set it up, plus I'll have the bass midi channel working properly next time 😜
Hi. Can anyone help me confirm whether there is an option to program a chord progression through chord memory like on the OM-84. I’m not seeing any information about whether 108 has a chord memory interface at all (even checking in the manual). Anyone have any updates on this? This is my main sticking point about the unit…
I don't think the om-108 has chord memory like the older models. I didn't see it in the manual and there is no button interface for it on this unit either so I don't know how it would be accessed. Hopefully someone can prove me wrong on this. Sad omission, looks like you have to memorize and play the chord changes yourself 🙁

Just ordered one, using it as a midi controller has been one of the main selling points for me.
Stoked to see some one implement what I have in mind.
deammm I just bought one om108 and i havent seen a lot of videos about it but this is sooooo cool, keep it up fr great work

@@purple_martin I understand! Thanks for the explanation. I had a feeling that might be the case.

Can you plug the midi directly into Logic audio on a computer or do you need a keyboard in between? Thanks for letting me know
Such lush sounds.
This song is so pretty 😍
Beautiful track
camera body and lens? the bokeh is crazy
nevermind! found it in the comments

Can you do a quick setup guide on how you have the omnichord set up with all the synths?

@@purple_martin that would be helpful! I thought the jam sounded great!
what’d you use to film this? looks awesome
Thanks! I used a Sony a7S II with a 24mm f1.4 Rokinon manual focus lens. I tweak video color in Lightroom using VSCO photo develop presets.
@@purple_martin thanks!! loved the tunes as well
You obviously don't know what you are doing but hey, it looks like you're having fun 😉
I don't know what a synthesizer is or how I got here tbh 😵💫
perfect reply, boss.

@@purple_martin I feel like that's fair enough considering how easy it is to play already.
Drop this as a single??
