It has some scuffs and scrapes and small stains but, works great. Battery compartment had some leakage which I removed as best as I could. One battery spring was rusty. I filed the rust off the end so that it makes good contact. Tested on AC adapter and batteries. Black, battery ribbon is gone but, door still has tape on edge and some crumbly, original foam. See pictures.
Omnichords are a great tool for coming up with new songs or playing your favorites without having to learn music theory or playing technique. Chords are arranged in the circle of 5ths making it easy and logical.
Includes:
- Original box (with matching serial number) and top and bottom Styrofoam pieces (which have some bits missing or broken off).
- Genuine Suzuki OCA-1 120V AC to 12V DC (negative (-) tip) adapter.
- Suzuki Omnichord System Two Model OM-84 Orperation (Owner's) Manual.
- Yellow cleaning cloth.
Batteries not included.
This is the best-sounding Omnichord (including the QChord and OM-108) in my opinion.
Features:
- 84 chords (12 keys x 7 variations: major (top row buttons), minor (middle row), (minor) 7th (eg. C7) (bottom row), major 7th (eg Cmaj7th) (top + 
bottom), minor 7 (eg. Cm7) (middle + bottom), diminished (eg. Cdim) (top + middle) and aug 5th (all three buttons))
- 10 punchy, preset 
analog drum patterns with optional auto chord and bass accompaniment
- "SonicStrings" voice has a magical shimmer
- Manual chord memory sequencer
- Built-in speaker
- You can use the darker buttons as a basic monophonic keyboard as you toggle through the chords you programmed previously
- 1/4" output jack
- Runs on 8 "C" batteries or 12V negative (-) tip AC adapter (tested and works on both).
The OM-36 is a simpler version of the OM-84. It lacks Voice 2, chord programmer, foot pedal input, and melody keyboard functions of the OM-84.
A few recordings that feature the Omnichord OM-84: "LSF" (Kasabian), "Pink Funeral" (Beach House), "War On War" (Wilco), "Twin Of Myself" (Black Moth Super Rainbow). Search Spotify for playlists of Omnichord songs.
