REQ: Optigan Archives V1 + Optigan / Orchestration / Talentmaker Bundle
While the Optigan itself always sounded very lo-fi due to the limitations of its optical-soundtrack technology, the original master tapes retain their hi-fi sound quality.
The Optigan master reels are a vast archive of early 1970s era musical building blocks, covering a wide range of popular styles from the period. Ultimately, only a small portion of this material ever made it onto production Optigan discs. For this initial collection of samples, Iβm focusing on that small portion and related out-takes. Future volumes in this series will comprise entirely unfamiliar material- out-takes which never saw the light of day on any Optigan disc.
A definitive downloadable collection of samples recorded directly from the original/vintage Optigan/Orchestron/Talentmaker discs and hardware
