NAMM 2024: Suzuki’s postponed Omnichord OM-108 will be at NAMMA new iteration of Suzuki’s much-loved Omnichord instrument is set to be on display at NAMM Show 2024, the brand’s confirmed.

The Omnichord OM-108 was originally set to launch in the summer/fall of 2023 to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the founding of Suzuki Musical Instruments Manufacturing. This was sadly postponed, Suzuki confirmed in a statement in December, citing improvements and specification refinements “in order to provide our customers with the best performance experience possible with the new Omnichord”.
While we’re still yet to see a new version of this much-adored synth, the new Omnichord will be on display for attendees of the LA-based music tech trade show, taking place from 25 to 28 January 2024, the statement also confirmed.
The Suzuki Omnichord, introduced in 1981, is a unique electronic musical instrument blending elements of an autoharp, synthesizer, and rhythm machine. Its revolutionary design features a touch-sensitive surface, allowing players to strum chords with ease.
Initially embraced by folk musicians, the Omnichord gained popularity across various genres due to its versatility and portability throughout the 1980s and 1990s, most notably featuring in The Bee Gees 1987 hit You Win Again and David Bowie’s 1993 track, A Small Plot of Land.
In 2023, Gorillaz frontman Damon Albarn showed off how he used the Omnichord for the band’s 2001 track, Clint Eastwood. In an Apple Music interview with Zane Lowe in his London studio, he gives away the fact it was a simple, unchanged Omnichord preset used in the track. Watch the clip below:

MusicTech’s excited to see the new Suzuki Omnichord OM-108 in action at NAMM next week. It’s not the only exciting piece of tech we want to see, however. Korg is so far stealing the show, recently confirming the launch of its KR-11 compact rhythm machine, the Opsix MKII and – of course – its long-awaited microKorg 2. Yamaha’s SEQTRACK and Audient’s ORIA audio interface are also tickling our fancy.
A release date for the Omnichord is set to be revealed by Suzuki at NAMM in LA next week.

Global music streams grew by 33.7% to 7.1tn in 2023 according to Luminate.
That’s 7. 1 trillion music streams last year across the world. The stat comes from research firm Luminate’s 2023 Year-End Music Report, which was published this week:
• The 7.1tn streams were across audio and video services, with that total up 33.7% year-on-year. Of that total, 4.1tn were on-demand audio song streams, up 22.3%.
• Luminate’s report doesn’t state the video total outright, but it’s easy to calculate from its figures for total streams and audio streams. There were 3tn on-demand video song streams in 2023, up 63.3% from the 1.9tn in 2022.
• It may be an uncomfortable topic for music rightsholders to think about, but video streams appear to be growing nearly three times faster than audio streams.
• Luminate’s ‘Track Streaming Pyramid’ data is very interesting in the light of Spotify’s decision to not pay royalties to tracks until they reach 1,000 streams in the previous 12 months.
• According to Luminate’s calculations, 152.2m tracks were streamed less than 1,000 times in 2023. That’s a startling 82.7% of all the audio ISRCs that it tracks for this research.

In an announcement published on Reddit, the podcast team writes, “Hey dear community, as some of you may remember, there was an attempt some time ago to launch an r/avicii podcast for this community. Due to scheduling commitments and implementation difficulties, it didn’t work out back then, but the desire for a podcast remained.”
They further add, “After many months of planning and developing a concept, we are more than pleased to announce that the first episode of our monthly podcast will be released soon! And we want you to be a part of it!”
The team is looking to collaborate with producers and music makers for the show, as well as fans who may have an interesting story to tell about Avicii or his music. Read the full post below:
Announcement: The r/Avicii Podcast is finally coming! And you can become a part of it! byu/teamraviciipodcast inavicii

Avicii, also known by his real name Tim Bergling, sadly took his own life in 2018. His family have since set up a mental health organisation, the Tim Bergling Foundation, in his memory. His music remains cherished by many, with his huge hit Wake Me Up reaching two billion streams on Spotify last year. It became the fourth dance track to do so.
The subreddit currently has over 25,000 members, and the podcast will be available to stream for free on Mixcloud. An official release date is yet to be confirmed.
