Dang, I wanted one of these but that is a lot of money for it.


'dang might be sympathetic, but i doubt will actually buy it for you.


Thank you, I'll never read sentences that start with Dang the same again.

The Time Being and the Bear with me will be in great company.


Yeah a lot of cool digital instruments are expensive; I suspect it's because they're not mass produced like for example "my first keyboard" type toys.


Similar price to a Roland keyboard.


Aside from the interface, this instrument has the functionality of arranger keyboards that cost well under $100. A $750 Roland is not comparable.


Expensive, but the Omnichord very much comes across as an expensive toy for adults to me in terms of which market it targets. It looks like a heap of fun though and I am happy that my analysis of the name (OM-108) back in December when Midi was unconfirmed was incorrect [1]. Now there is the option to run it through your synthesisers and effects.
