Folktek Omnichord Hands-On Demo – Synthtopia

synthtopia.com

The Folktek Modified Omnichord OM-84 showcases some intriguing modifications that enhance its tonal palette, but overall, it falls short of justifying its price tag. Users appreciate the unique sounds it can produce, yet many feel the original model lacks depth without extensive modifications. The sentiment leans towards seeing it as more of a novelty than a serious instrument, with several comments questioning its value versus performance. If you're not ready to dive into circuit bending or modifying, you might find it underwhelming compared to its cost.
