It has some scuffs and scrapes and small stains but, works great. Tested on AC adapter and batteries. Black, battery ribbon is still intact. 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:
- Operation (owners) Manual. The astronaut on the back looks like actor Mark Linn-Baker from the TV sitcom Perfect Strangers (1986-93).
- Compatible AC adapter.
- Most of bottom and top styrofoam pieces.
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.
