Vintage 80s synth sounds and simple to use

I'm a singer, and I've tried to learn guitar and piano on and off for decades to accompany myself while singing, but I just don't seem to have the ability to play fluently whilst also focusing on really delving into the depths of a song. Either the playing suffers or the singing suffers. In essence, the Omnichord is like a Casio MT-40, a digital keyboard with autochords and rhythms, but with much richer, more textured sounds (forgive me Sleng Teng lovers!), with more options to manipulate and balance the voices. Most importantly for a non tech geek and klutz fingers like me, the Omnichord is a beautifully simple instrument to use. The OM-108 is a reissue of the Omnichord based mainly on the OM-84 model. Unlike the Casio, the Omnichord OM-108, has extended chords, so you can play major, minor, 7s, diminished and augmented.
