Here's some information from the indispensable Omnichord Heaven website:
"...The late 80s saw two new Omnichords warping in, once again incorporating significant improvements. The cabinet shape is updated...

Ergonomics are carefully reconsidered and Chord buttons are moved to the front and angled slightly for more comfortable play.

The strumplate is set at a much more natural angle which suits wrist and arm movement. Although the strumplate uses the same touch responsive membrane technology as the OM36 and OM84 the shape is updated and this changed little up to the current QC1.

One very cool new feature is an optional Strap which came with two strap buttons. Pre-drilled holes on are located on either end of the Omnichord body for fitting of the buttons. Now the Omnichordist can hang around at the front of the stage with the cool kids and their guitars.

Replacing the OM84 is the Grey coloured OM200M which has 84 playable chords along with a 19 note Piano keyboard (played using lighter chord buttons).

The OM200M also retains the chord computer form its predecessor and has the same 10 Styles and 10 Sounds of the OM100.

The major improvement over all previous models is the "M". Unlike 'M' in the Bond movies we do know what this one stands for....it is of course, MIDI. The OM200M has a single MIDI OUT port for controlling external sound modules or recording into a sequencer. Or....and we are not sure if Suzuki intended it....we banged our 200M into an arranger keyboard, put on a wig and selected the Status Quo Rock Rhythm. Yeah..."
