NAMM 2023: Of all the retro electronic music gizmos that we thought would have a major moment in 2023, Suzuki’s Omnichord would have been pretty low in our list. However, already this year it’s received props from Damon Albarn and been confirmed for a reboot to celebrate Suzuki’s 70th anniversary, and now the Instachord - an instrument that appears to owe a significant design debt to the Omnichord - has landed on Indiegogo.
Promising “a revolutionary user interface and in-depth features,” InstaChord is said to be “an all-in-one game-changing digital instrument that provides effortless and limitless musical possibilities for starters and pros alike.” They’re not underselling it, then.
