Can you plug it into a 4 track tape machine?
hmm, im not sure. can anyone here that has a 4 track verify?
@@oxbluepandaxo As long as it has a 1/4in jack, which I believe it does, you can plug into any interface/recording device. Would sound really cool on tape too, great idea!
Jules Julie thanks so much I'm using this on my next album
It has a 1/4" stereo output jack designed for headphones. With an adapter cord you can split this into 2 channels (left and right) and connect it to at least 2 of your quad inputs. WIth Y- splitters you could run each channel into 2 inputs, assuming you want it on all four tracks.
You can also use a mono guitar cord to connect to an amp or effects pedals.
You can plug it into a 4 track, or any recording device, you just need a 1/4 inch cable like she showed. It’s line level. Be sure to hit the tape pretty hot:)
This is the cutest instrument explained by the cutest human.
Nah
yeah
Yep
right!!
exactly!
I have an OM150 and a QChord. My mom, owning an OM-27, was the first woman in Canada to ever own an Omnichord.
Thats super cool!!!
No. My mom had an early prototype before they were released. 😌
@@jessihawkins9116 oh noes whose moms better!
@@swgstrpby well my mother had one first
you seem like the kind of friend who’d always be down for co-creating new music for a laugh, I wish you were my friend
aww don't worry, as long as you share your love of music with others, you'll soon happen upon a friend whos diggity down to jam! :)
Same
Same, most o' my friends are punks and they take their style way too seriously to get smth like an OmniChord into the studio lol
You just totally made my life here! My grandpa used to play the Omnichord and sing... I still have some recordings. Along with my grandma, he would travel to flea markets in the 80's and sell Omnichords as well. I remember being so enthralled with this thing! On an especially fortunate day Grandpa would let me play it. As ridiculous as it is to say, these are the sounds of my childhood! Now I can show my daughter the crazy instrument I've been trying to describe to her ; ) Thank you!
oh my god this is the most touching thing ever!! so happy you had such great memories you can share!!
bluupanda So happy you are enjoying this quirky instrument I thought no one even knew about anymore! My grandparents gave me the most amazing childhood memories! They were AMAZING people! Retired early so they could hike the entire Appalachian Trail in their 50s! Then they just had a lil camper trailer and van that they traveled in for 28yrs! They were such original folks! They passed away a few years ago, just a bit over a week apart from each other. This weekend we move into the very home they built before they left for the AT. Can't wait to share that legacy they left with our lil one. Thanks for giving me a reason to share the memory of these special people! RIP Al & Ann Weed.
@@allisgrace1313 wow they sound like lovely parents! Wishing your whole family the best!
Please upload audio of Grandpa singing with Omnichord.
@@Trigger_Nash Oh I honestly have no idea how! 😆
Such a sweet request, though! Maybe I'll try to figure it out. 🤷🏽♀️
The bassline feature makes it sound like Animal Crossing.
for "#" and "b" chords you dont really have to use that, you can just go one note next or back on the scale, for example C-D-E-F-G-A-B-C, is the C scale, so, if you got a C# it's exactly the same that Db, if you got a D# you have a Eb, I mean the "#" is the "b" of the next note, It works in both ways, If you play Bb is the same that A#, Gb is the same that F#
I dont know if someone can understand me because my english is too bad but I just tried to help
By the way good video!:3
ohhhhhhhhhh thanks so much!!! you made sense dont worry! :D
Oh my god Adventure Time
I know I'm 6 years late, but tysm for posting this video it helps sm since I just got an OM-84 for my birthday and know zero on music or how to play 😭😭💗
7:40 The plugs with "two black stripes" are stereo plugs meant for headphones or other accessories with a left and right channel. The QChord does have a stereo output. Obviously, a mono plug will also work for connecting to an amp or effects pedals.
I never really heard of this instrument until recently. I kinda want to get one now to mess around with. This was a nice video to watch.
I don't even have an omnichord but this video was really entertaining and interesting!
aw thanku bro!! :D
What a lovely machine, it's beautiful. By the way, the 'Black stripes' on the audio jacks are for separating the connections, if it has one black stripe then it's mono and if it has 2 then it's stereo. Some have 3 black stripes, that usually means there is a microphone.
Thanks so much for doing such a thorough Omnichord demo! This was exactly the video I needed to explain to me how it works. Thank you for doing your part to make TH-cam the amazing and wonderful resource it is!
just picked up an om-84 and this video has helped me so damn much!! entirely appreciate you! stay vibrant and true to yourself ⭐️✨
omg yayy congrats!! and thanks!!
Thank you for going to the trouble of making this excellent video. You are a natural teacher, very clear in your instructions and your bubbly personality is a breath of fresh air.
This was fantastic I can’t wait to pick one of these up
when you did the tango beat sounds like you are evolving a pokemon until you started speeding it up
also you should try G B7 C and C7 or Cm
I dont remeber the exact C chord but this is the steven universe theme or the way rebecca sugar plays it on ukulele. sorry for a long comment
lolll omg i didnt realize, ur right! XD
This is awesome! Your covers are the reason why I bought an omnichord!
I hope you never stop making videos you talented person
Glad I found this and you! I was googling what chord generator Rebecca had, and then I found this video. 😁
I'm Loving the Adventure Time covers! 💙
just wanna thank u for the absolute best & most thorough break down on this thing,, -- much appreciated,,
Very useful. I have an autoharp. If you don't know he autoharp is basically an ancient omnichord but with less chords and no electronics. I have been trying to figure out how to transpose chords for it sense mine only has 15 chords and your video really helped. HAVE AN AWESOME SAUCE DAY TOO!
Such a lovely instrument! The very last bit in the end made me giggle. :)
2:51 this is animal crossing music isn't it?
or kahoot music
Very informative. I have the same model. Played it, but always knew that there is more to know about the omnicord. Thanks for sharing. ♡
What a relaxing video, both the instrument and the presentation. Thanks!
I am completely not musically talented but you rock so hard which I love this video! Among my top 5 bands, Chromeo, they have a rarely seen creative process like this since they use a lot of electronic sounds. Keep it up!
I really want to buy myself one on ebay but I wasn't sure if i was wasting my money, this is really helpful! Thank you for reassuring me!
I love the Omnichord! I think I've been wanting one for the longest time since like 2022 😄
AWESOME video! Really thoughtful, really helpful. You’ve shared a lot of really cool ‘tricks’, that many people would think of as some sort of secret weapon, and then decide to keep them and guard them as a secret.
I really liked that you showed the label from the back of the AC/DC ‘wall-wart’ adapter, so that people can read it.
B T W, those guitar cable plugs are called T S when they have the one ring, like yours, and called T R S when they have two black rings. T stands for ‘Tip’ and the S stands for ‘Sleeve’. The -R stands for ‘Ring’, which is in between the Sleeve and the tip, with the two black separators. Yours is a T S, 1/4 inch or 6.5 millimeter, which is becoming more popular presently.
Thanks again, and great job!
Thanks so much for that info on the cables, super super helpful!! and thanku for ur kind words omgghfkshuirh ^v^
Wholesome video man, trippy instrument sounds great.
Best omnichord tut I've seen, thanks so much.
6 years later and the omnichord is still awesome!
awesomesauce! ;D super video! i have one. just got it. (om-300) haven't recorded yet at this time, but when i do a tape of a session, i will youtube it. mine will take both the mono 1/4 inch plug and stereo, yours might, too. the manufacturer put resistors in the circuit, to allow this, and eliminating the problems that usually could happen when a mono plug would otherwise short-circuit the right channel of an ordinary stereo output jack...so, you can use a stereo headphone (summed mono) or a standard guitar plug.
Definetly the most helpful guide
for the jack you want ts type normally the ones with two band are trs which is just like the ones used for normal headphones. trs stands for tip ring sleeve and represent the metal parts, the one you have there is ts and thus tip sleeve, there is no ring inbetween
Thanks for this! These look really cool for the not so musically inclined.
Friend bluupanda, thanks to you for the great show of the Omnichord. I feel now the courage to purchase one. You were very complete in good instructions. I hope you will have the good day.
pierre de Nuevo Mejico
I just got mine today but didn't get a owners manual with it and needed to learn some functions. Thanks for the tutorial!
I love all that you do and I'm here because I found out about the omnichoard from surgermoms decription from her channel
This is great! Could be a fun tool for noodling around and trying out song ideas
Would you say it’s worth getting? I’ve been thinking about getting it but I’m not sure yet
I love this video Thank you! Did u know that suzuki is making a new Omnichord? cant wait to buy one
girl you have a great voice !
you have a really sweet voice and are a good demonstrator.
Really great video, and may I say that you play wonderfully! When I scrape some cash i'll be sure to hunt one down on Ebay!!
thanku bro!! best of luck to ya! :D
You have a very soothing voice
When I was in 3rd grade my music teacher had one and he showed it to us on our first week of school and we tried it ourselves. What a fun insttument
i cant tell how i love this video.
i wish i had one
One stripe is a mono cable and 2 is a stereo cable. Good review.
What are the two buttons at the bottom of? "Enter" and "Repeat"? And how are they used? Thanks!
Is it possible to play an diminished chord, or a minus 5-chord (e.g. e-minor7b5)?
Derry deBorja of Jason Isbell and The 400 Unit and Charity Rose Thielen of The Head and the Heart use one of these on a couple tracks. Cool sound. They also tour with one in their rigs.
this was super helpful! im waiting for my omnichord to get here and its still gonna take a couple days :( but now i know how to use it!
yay thanku!! happy i could help a bit! have fuuuuunnn!
thank you for being so thurough, you're amazing! !!!!
aaaa thanku, im so happy u found it useful!! ;D;
You explained it so simply! Thank you
8:58 A G# chord is the same thing as an Ab.
That's not "transposing". It's just two different names for the same chord.
Transposing is when you actually change the key of a song in order to use different chords.
A# = Bb
B# = C *
C# = Db
D# = Eb
E# = F *
F# = Gb
G# = Ab
* Since there's only a half-step between B and C, and also between E and F, there's no such thing as a B# or E#. We just know them as C and F.
For the same reason there's also no Cb or Fb. We call them B and E.
No foxtrot?
Thanks for the tips.
will pressing two buttons sound at the same time on the omnichord?
The more I watch this thing played, the more fun it looks and I want one. How much are they and where can u get it?
Where can I buy one? I’ve been really wanting to buy one so I can play with it :D
oh cool! I was curious if it would have every chord or if it lacked sevenths and such, but nope! It seems like a good instrument to learn if you can't get any theory. Do you have any idea as to where I could find one?
Who in their right mind would dislike this! Keep jamming, awesome vid!
Very similar to my video but just way higher level of editing and production value!
aw thanks haha no my editing needs work. but thanks for helping keep the omnichord community alive and well!
where did you get your omnichord?
Will you make a cover of amalgam from steven universe on omnichord?
Great rundown, thank you! I kinda want to get one purely for fun
What does the march rhythm sound like tho?
thank you for this video! i just got my om84 in the mail and was scared it didn't work because i didn't know certain buttons need to be pressed and unpressed for the buttons to work. whew.
congrats on your new babu!!!
Very nice, informative and helpful. You did a Good job. May I humbly suggest you procure and play around with a SUZUKI OMNICHORD, SUZUKI RAN ELECTRIC TAISHOGOTO, and a mechanical, 5-string Taishogoto Nardan Harp.
duuuude thats my dream!! hopefully one day!
What are the three x for?
The three arrows and the three circles?
Is there a piano sound on there?
It's just amazing!!! I wish to own a one 🥺
Adding to my holiday Christmas list.
Great job simple and to the point great 👍 thx you ain’t awkward your awesome 👏!!!
I hope to get my hands on one of these!
Where did you fin this specific model?
The site you linked to shows how to transpose from one key to another. But a G# and an Ab are the same thing, so not the same as transposing a song.
Very thorough video! Thanks!
Como puedo hacer para comprar uno si soy de argentina?
Hi panda, does the omnichord have midi interface??
How much are theses Ive wanted one for a while now lol
How does it sound if you play real fast?
How do you change the octave on the keyboard??? The manual says the Eb and Bb buttons are up and down but it just plays the chords?
F
Where do I get one!!
where did you get this omnichord from
I don’t really understand the harp. How do I know how to press, where, when, etc...
Can you play 6 or 9 chords on it?
Where did you get it from? Also what’s the price range lol i’m broke
where did you buy it?
Literary first thing i said i thought when i saw the video was awe! Aside from that good video!
This is the day. 💗
Where can we buy these? 😭
where do you get one-
weird question but what camera was this recorded with i like the homemade quality of the video and audio :0 (great demonstration though, looking at getting one eventually)
My play back button doesn’t work,, does anyone know what that could be? It did when I first got it a few weeks ago and everything else seems to be working fine (I’m probally just doing something wrong tbh) any help is appreciated xD
What version is this
What is the smaller stripe to the right of the "note stripe" for?
it silences the music as long as you hold it down. :)
What's the extra little square for at the top right of the slidepad? It looks like a mini slidepad
it mutes the sound
Grizzly Bear brought me here. Great vid, man!!
