The Ondomo by Asaden - Ondes Martenot Redux
Uploaded on Jul 28, 2016 Adrien Duchemole
The above is a demonstration by Adrien Duchemole who is lucky enough to own one of the first Ondomos.
[Update: I found a few additional demos of the Ondomo on YouTube. Three, including the initial unveiling of the first version in 2014, have been added to the bottom of this post.]
In October of 2012, a post here on MATRIXSYNTH featured the Asaden Eleki-Ribbon. It appears that project was just the start of something pretty magnificent. Asaden has painstakingly recreated his version of the Ondes Martenot. Details follow.
Pictured here is an image of two new Ondomos and an original Ondes Martenot (center) via Adrien. Note the wood on them is much darker than the one pictured below from the Asaden website. According to Adrien, Asaden did an initial run of 100 Ondomos.
The following are some details, Google translated from Japanese, via Asaden (forgive the translation):
"Ondomo - Legacy Of Love
More than 15 years, continues to study the Ondes Martenot, it can be more easily available, it is even more portable also easy, anywhere play as, from Japan made from the feeling that new Ondes Martenot.
Once the Ondes Martenot easy Mochiaruke ... Ondomo that has been produced in such a thought (Ondomo) has packed the hopes and dreams in only 64 cm of width.
If even plug it into an electrical outlet, because it is equipped with a built-in speaker, you can play anywhere at any time.
Instrument called Ondes Martenot, and Ondes Martenot unique sound is hoping the producer that the more spread in the world."
"1928, is an electronic musical instrument was born in France. Announcement initially referred to as the (meaning of the Buddha 'musical waves of Martenot') 'Ondes Martenot musical-Ondes Musicales Martenot', it will be later referred to as the 'Ondes Martenot' or simply 'Temperature ondes'."
"Morris Martenot (Maurice Martenot, 1898.10.14 - 1980.10.08) represents a musical talent from early childhood, early on cello, piano, musician learned the basics of music, also deeply involved with music education and thought, in his later years Mesodo of relaxation is also established. On the other hand, there is a deep knowledge in electronic and mechanical engineering, in the First World War in prison as a communication soldier. Ondes Martenot The impetus of production is, where you start from the sound clear the triode vacuum tube was in the ear. Repeat the research and trial along with the end of the war, Paris in 1928, it announced the musical instrument in the Opera, and caused a sensation. Then, playing to countries with Ginette Ginette of the Ondes Martenot player sister trip, in 1931 we came to Japan in Japan. Ondes Martenot for the Morris, and the desire of as a musician to continue to seek a sound of its own, desire as a thinker to practice the human way and way of life are fused, will he had a life's work would live ish myself. 1980, continue to seek the sound of his own until his death in an accident, improvement until the end instrument was overlaid."
"And a body part to play, set in a variety of speakers (Buddha di Few Suhl Diffuseur). Its kind, there is a regular speaker and similar principal principal, resonance resonnances to create a reverberation by spring, a built-in gong characteristic resonance of metallic metallique, Palm palme to leave a sound strings stretched wooden body. Ondes Martenot, the electricity, but it is often placed in the category of an electronic musical instrument for a musical instrument to be used, pitch, expression, the tone, in the player's hand, an instrument that can be intuitive to play with the feelings of the place some reason, there is a feature close to the acoustic instrument."

Ondes Martenot & Piano Rehearsals
Published on Oct 13, 2016 Josh Semans
"Some audio from a recent rehearsal, accompanied by some assorted video clips from the same rehearsal. Playing through Vocalise-Étude by Messiaen, one of our favourites.
It's not a 'live video', so to speak. The audio and visuals are not synchronous.

Ondomo / New Ondes Martenot Pics
You might recall the Ondomo Ondes Martenot by Asaden previously posted here.
Josh Semans wrote in to let me know he put some pics of his up on his Instagram page. He had the following to say:
"I saw your post about the Ondomo and thought I would drop you an email.
I own one of only two Ondomo in England, the other is owned by Jonny Greenwood of Radiohead. I met the craftsman in Paris in July and have met with him again in Manchester since. We keep in touch and he is very interested in what I am doing with it. He is such a nice man.
The Ondomo truly is beautiful, and I thought you may like to post some more photographs of it."
I definitely would! Beautiful instrument. Also, I new that Jonny Greenwood used an Analogue Systems French Connection (as seen here). It would make sense that he also has the Ondomo.
Thank you Josh!

Ondomo (Ondes Martenot) 6-oct

"This full-sized Ondes Martenot 'Ondomo Conservatoire DX-74' was handmade in Japan by Naoyuki Omo (owner of ASADEN) in 2022, and is one of only half a dozen similar instruments. It marks an evolution of a previous run of portable ondes Martenots ('Ondomo') manufactured by Naoyuki Omo, based on Maurice Martenot's final design, the Mk 7. The Ondomo Conservatoire DX-74 is a faithful recreation of the ondes Martenot, and comprises: a moveable keyboard (clavier mobile) of 74 keys, capable of vibrato via lateral motion. a ribbon/ring control (ruban/bague) adjacent to the keyboard, which permits glissando, vibrato and microtonal performance over multiple octaves. a control drawer (tiroir) with adjustable transparent expression key (touche d'intensité). illuminated controls for eight additive timbres which very closely emulate those of the Mk 7 (O - onde, C - creux, G - grande gambe, N - nasillard, T - tutti, 8 - octaviant, S - souffle, g - petite gambe (the last three with adjustable volume riders). gamelan buttons for playing quarter tones and various intervals in either ribbon or keyboard mode. a craquement switch which sets the keyboard to sustain or gate mode. an upper/lower note priority switch for the keyboard. an octave switch which affects the entire instrument. controls for adjusting the relative volumes and waveforms of timbres (e.g. pulse widths). volume controls for four outputs (D1, D2, D3, D4, where D = 'diffuseur', traditionally the principal, métallique, palme, résonance etc, but conceivably any passive or active speaker). and controls for automatic and manual tuning of the keyboard and ribbon, as well as adjustment of the keyboard vibrato sensitivity, ribbon tension, and touch d'intensité (volume button) sensitivity. The instrument comes with all its original accessories, a power supply, and box. It has detachable legs, leather carrying handle, protective lid, and integral 'rainbow' perspex music stand (not shown in the photo). There are two outputs, which provide the D1/2 and D3/4 outputs as stereo pairs. Note that the instrument is monophonic and has only audio outputs, not CV or MIDI. I have unpacked and assembled the instrument once, to test it, and found it to be in excellent working condition. It has all original accessories and box. I have been impressed with its tone and performance, and used an earlier model (the miniature Ondomo) extensively for performance and recording work (e.g. for Marvel Loki S1) - that instrument has also been used recently by Jonny Greenwood. The Conservatoire DX-74 has a very similar tonal quality to the original Ondomo, but benefits from greater versatility, sensitivity, and range."

"mounting letter"
Anyone know what's going on in this video? Is that a stand for music sheets?
Update via @JoshSemans: "Yes! It’s a music stand, of sorts. Very faithful to the design of the Ines seen on many original ondes."

Ondes Martenot & Piano Rehearsal / Snippet #2 / Gymnopédies No. 1
Published on Nov 18, 2016 Josh Semans
"We recently started working on an arrangement of the first of Satie's three Gymnopédies, adapted for ondes Martenot and Piano. This is audio from a recent rehearsal of our arrangement, accompanied by some assorted video clips from the same rehearsal.
It's not a 'live' video, so to speak. The audio and visuals are largely asynchronous.

Ondes Martenot & Piano Rehearsal / Snippet #3 / Le Cygne
Josh Semans
Published on Aug 3, 2017
www.joshsemans.com/ondes-martenot
"A short snippet of a recent rehearsal of 'le cygne' by C. Saint-Saëns. This piece is an extract from 'le carnaval des animaux', originally written for piano and cello, here it is for piano and ondes Martenot. Maurice Martenot, inventor of the ondes Martenot, played this piece in Abel Gance's 1931 film 'la fin du monde'.
Unlike our previous practice videos, the audio and video are synchronous! There was only one camera involved, so the audio and video may not line up 100% of the time.
