Ultrakord | An '80s Omnichord, Modernized

  Ultrakord is an electronic instrument inspired by the extraordinary sounds & strumming interface of the Suzuki Omnichord. It has been reverse engineered as an Ableton Live Pack, Kontakt & Logic Instrument. An Omnichord is an electronic musical instrument, introduced in 1981 and manufactured by the Suzuki Musical Instrument Corporation. It typically features a touch plate, and buttons for major, minor, and diminished chords. The most basic method of playing the instrument is to press the chord buttons and swipe the touch plate with a finger or guitar pick in imitation of strumming a stringed instrument. Puremagnetik has taken the Omnichord concept to a new level, building a sophisticated adaptation of a truly classic instrument. Digital Strumming To emulate bi-directional strumming, Ultrakord has the Harpomatik instruments with key down and release strum samples. Seven One-Finger-Chords are mapped across seven octaves to make them all available in every key. Accompaniment
