Optigan CD (OT?)

Optigan CD (OT?)

2004-05-18 by Dagfinn Hobaek

Hi,

I'm currently enjoying my M-Tron VST instrument (the general poverty of 
student life denies me even the remotest of possibilities to get a shot at 
playing the real thing) and I've just purchased an additional set of tape 
samples which also includes a couple of tape banks for the Chamberlin, as 
well as a handful of Birotron samples (!). Those squeaky old sounds really 
got me going, and that's when I came to think of the Optigan. I'm unsure 
whether this will be regarded as OT (in which case I apologise), but I'm 
wondering whether any of you Mellotronists are aware of any available 
commercial sample CD (e.g. AKAI format) of the Optigan (or the Orchestron).

Thanks in advance!

Dagfinn

The Official Optigan/Talentmaker/Orchestron Sampling CD-ROM:

Now if only they'd come out with samples in WAV format.
