Title: Optigan
Post by: beatpoet on December 16, 2008, 03:29:11 AM
So, this weekend I managed to aquire an Optigan for free.  Anyone ever played around with one of these?  Any bending possibilities? I'm excited to get it reassembled and play around with it...

I did wonder if it would be possible to print your own disks by laserprinting onto acetate...

I read a fair bit about these - people using black marker pens to do crazy stuff on the disks.

Here is the Optigan site with lots of info and a forum:

Yeah, just found that site myself last night.  It appears that someone tried to do the Choptigan mod thats on that site on the one I've obtained, as it has some RCA cables inside replacing the speakers.  I managed to get about 15 optigan discs with it, too, so hopefully I can play around a bit once I get it re-assembled.
