The Optigan for iOS
Description (
Characters: 1399 of 4000
)
This is the Optigan for iOS. The Optigan, short for Optical Organ, was a chord organ from the early 1970’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. The iOptigan we present here truthfully recreates that lo-fi sound. 25 of the original 40 discs are included, the remaining 15 can be purchased individually or all together in the Complete Pak. Specifications and Features: • Disc loading rigth-side-up or upside-down • Spring Reverb (virtual) • Optical Metronome • Audio Demo for each Disc • MIDI in/out • MIDI chord detection • MIDI File Import • Sequencer with Record and Playback • Sharing for songs as Audio and MIDI File • iTunes File Sharing • Inter-App Audio • Smart background audio • Help overlay • Headphone optimised stereo (optional) • Radio Mode for Chord Buttons or Keyboard • Comfortable speed control in semitones or BPM}

Incredible app, love the optigan so much, i think optigan.com actually introduced me to this beautiful instrument. Also, on the “Champagne Music” disc, i think the optical metronome is either off time, or this disc is just really confusing. Aside from that, amazing app.

Love how you’ve captured and recreated such a unique musical time capsule, but this app is 4+ years old and still on version 1.0 and that’s why this will have to be a 3-star review. I’m using an M1 iPad Pro with an external MIDI controller. The amount of stuck/phantom keys makes this unusable as anything other than a short-lived toy. I suggest: * Updating codebase to use AudioKit Engine, likely fixing any latency/stuck key issues * Adding toggle to allow app to run in background. Would love to play the app with my controller while playing from one of the many free PDFs you’ve made available, all on one iPad * Allowing app to be loaded as an AudioUnit Extension. Current InterApp Audio functionality is broken in Garageband and I’d love to be able to sequence these patterns with more control than what’s offered in-app * Updating app to include newly released sound packs as additional paid purchases * Providing clarification for the chord identification methods. The video on your site provides little to no help. You’ve got something really unique and special here. Consider showing it the continued love it deserves.

I don’t usually leave reviews, but I can’t believe how awesome this app is. If you’ve ever wanted an Optigan, please just do yourself a huge favor and get this. As a live musician and home recording obsessive who is always looking for new ideas, great crackly analog sounds and beats - this is a literal dream come true. I may get an iPad just to experience this app on a larger scale. That’s how great it is. Thanks, Pea and team! 🎹

E major plays the sample for D Diminished instead? It’s weird. The weirdest part is that it isn’t swapped. D Diminished still plays what it’s supposed to. PLSFIX!

Awesome App if an instrument of my dream. Will we soon see an AUV3 version of this?

Brings me back to the day when I had my Optigan. My only criticism for this app is, I wish it had a way of limiting the loudness of the pops and scratches (equalizer?) they seem louder than I recall on my original optigan and not all of my discs were pristine. Otherwise, this is still an outstanding app! Thanks!
You done a pretty good job

This app is great, but it doesn’t fill the entire screen for more recent devices. If you could update the app with larger screen compatibility that would be amazing.

I spent years looking for Optigan sounds to throw into a rompler, etc. Nothing ever worked that great. iOptigan has everything all in one place once you buy all the discs. My only issue is trying to figure out how to export a wav. Is this not available?
