Reverb Machine has released Omni, an Ableton Live Pack containing samples from the original Suzuki Omnichord OM27 that was released in 1981. With its charming 8-bit sound, the instrument was used by countless artists including David Bowie, Brian Eno and Gorillaz. The instrument provides a plethora of unique sounds:

Although the strummed SonicStrings are the most utilised feature, the Omnichord also provides the player with organ-style chords, auto-bass patterns and drum loops, allowing the player to emulate the sound of a full band. There are many different ways of playing the Omnichord, and I’ve aimed to make this Ableton Live Pack as diverse as possible. I sampled my old, beaten up Omnichord OM36 and six sounds from my Suzuki Q-Chord. The strummed instruments mimic the Omnichord with complete accuracy, and allow you to create fully adjustable strummed arpeggios for use in your own music.

The full pack can be purchased HERE and costs $22. If you are looking for an introduction to the instrument, a lite version can be downloaded for free (via the link below). You will need to be running Ableton  9.7 or higher to use these packs.
