The Otamatone is 10 years old!
First released to the public in 2009, the Otamatone celebrated its 10th Anniversary on December 1st 2019 with the announcement of big plans – the release of a new and improved anniversary edition called Otamatone Neo!
Upgrades in this version include a wider stem switch, smartphone connectivity, and an accompanying app. The app – called Otamatone Studio – allows Otamatone owners to switch up their Otamatone’s sound with a variety of effects including the sounds of various instruments, distortion, and beat accompaniment. The app is available for both iOS and Android, but requires a microphone input compatible 3.5mm jack or appropriate adaptor for use.
