So, I've been running a bit alone and a bit with friends around Orb Vallis to find all the Somachords to get all 7 songs. Took us probably around 4-5 hours to get them all.
Since I couldn't find any maps with locations etc. only people struggling to find them, I've decided to mark them on map and post here.

I've found overall 21 Somachord spots.
It's enough to make it easier to find, you dont even need anything like Khora warframe, just the loot detection mods on and Archwing and just fly low above the surface. Go out to Orb Vallis choose the path for loop you want and just check out all these locations, when you find one go back to Fortuna and repeat.
Do it with full team of 4 people! Will be easier if you struggle doing it solo.

There is only 1 Somachord per session. Each song requires 4 Somachord scans.
Keep in mind that you can find Somachord twice or even more in the same spot,
so before doing another loop always check the location where you found the Somachord last time.

You should find one Somachord after another for one and the same song.
When you scan 4/4 Somachords and unlock the song it will be replaced with another song next time you go to OV.
At least its how it worked for me, but then again I've been just doing this through 4-5 hours straight, no breaks.
Also I had 1 or 2 situations when I couldn't find them in ANY of these 21 locations and that is why
I suspected there might be more than 21 locations though it could have been a bug with spawn as well. 

So in case anyone encounter a new location... you know what to do.
(You don't? Well: Post screenshot with exact location on zoomed map and I will add it on the map below. Also if you gonna post more than 1, place them all in one post)

50+ Somachord Spots marked on the map. Good job guys! However I won't be updating it anymore as of now,
but by all means you guys can continue this for your own convenience.
Good Luck!

I also have suggestion for DE. 
Dear DE, if you guys wanna keep Open World Somachords the way you made it, but make it easier for some people... then at least choose some permament spots and place them like for example all 4 Somachords for 1 song in one "sector" on the map, so it will be possible to find them all by entering Orb Vallis only once. I personally don't mind looking for them it's actually cool thing to do for me, but reentering Orb Vallis every time to find only 1 Somachord was indeed a bit annoying. I understand the same system was used here as it is on normal maps, but in reality it's not that good. Even though I found so many spots alone and with friends and have all the songs already I still think permament spots would be better idea.


Songs:
» We All Lift Together - FORTUNA Main Theme
» Vapor Trails - Orb Vallis Theme
» Cold Tundra - Orb Vallis Combat
» Fluid Mechanics - Orb Vallis Theme 2
» Coldwave - Orb Vallis Combat 2
» Klokkit - Ventkids Song 1
» Null Unit - Ventkids Song 2 

UPDATE:
31 SPOTS ADDED TO THE MAP
WARFRAME_-_Orb_Vallis_Somachord_Map_v5.p
Sorry for crap quality it's really impossible to find high quality map of Orb Vallis... lol. I hope it's clear enough though.

What the actual...?!

Hey DE? At least some of us play games to have fun. No, repeatedly looking for a proverbial needle in a haystack is NOT fun.

I love the music for Fortuna (Sythnpop / Synthwave fan here) but this is really too much.

Same goes for memory fragments.

Not planning to argue here though I had quite fun looking for these with some GUNSHIP music in the background.

Awesome however I suggest posting once when you find bigger amount of them. It will be easier for everyone.

Good job! You confirm these are all 100% legit yes? How many exactly cause I'm trying to add them to map but green dots are quite pain to detect on this map.
EDIT: Also noticed you marked few that are already added to the map I posted.
EDIT 2: Looks like there is 10 new spots. I'll update the map.

Yup confirmed, I personally found a somachord fragment on each of those spots 😉

There needs to be a somachord finder, a beeping sound, a visual clue, anything really.

Did 2 turns around the map and found nothing, one i even had  a loot radar build and nothing, sure they can probably spawn in a cave but i'm not going to visit the all the caves in other to find 1 of the many somachords needed, this is just insane.

If you use the methods I described and check marked spots on the map here, you surely find them without any bigger problems. Besides you don't have to enter every cave, like I said use Archwing and fly low above the surface, it will detect somachord even in the deepest caves anyway. I was pretty surprised myself but it worked well.

Also visual clue? You got the minimap in game.

Found one inside the Base/hangar thing where the Pearl is (right under the solaris U operative there). At first I thought it was one of the marked spots and I don't know if I should even post this since technically it's in the red circle of the pearl zone on your map but I just wanted to contribute.
