Now you can play the legendary Optigan on your iPad or iPhone!
The Optigan, short for Optical Organ, was a chord organ from the early 70’s. It is remembered today for its unique system of sound reproduction using optical discs. These LP-sized film discs were optically encoded with 57 concentric tracks, which contained loops of musical combos playing chord patterns in different styles. Each disc contained a specific style of music (Bossa Nova, Big Band etc) which the user could control by pressing the chord buttons. Changing the discs was as simple as putting a new record on your turntable. Think of it as the 1971 version of GarageBand.
Despite this novel technology, the scratchy sound of the Optigan left a lot to be desired. iOptigan truthfully recreates that lo-fi sound. For more information about the original Optigan, please visit optigan.com!
The sound quality was quite low, even according to the standards of the 70's. We did nothing to polish up on this, so if you're looking for a clean, crisp instrument, look elsewhere.
But if you're ready for some audible patina, iOptigan is the right choice for you!
Forty discs were released, and all of them are available in iOptigan. These include all time favourites such as “Pop Piano Plus Guitar”, “Easy Does It With Vibes” and “Gay 90’s Walz”. The App comes with 25 of the original discs, the remaining 15 are available as in-App purchase, either individually or all together in the Complete Pak. Click on any cover for a demo.

For three years, I cycled through women five, seven, ten years older. Each time, the same script: vulnerability, a late-night confession, a “mistake” that wasn’t a mistake. They fell faster than the heroines in those cheap games. I called it love. They called it regret. (Since my sister passed the exam and my
