In collaboration with Stefan Stenzel of Waldorf, we’re proud to announce iOptigan! It’s an Optigan® on your iPad or iPhone, complete with all 40 original discs (25 included with app purchase, an additional 15 via in-app purchase) and all the scratchy lo-fi character and playability quirks of the original. What we didn’t include is all the headaches that tend to go along with the flaky old hardware!

As shown in the video above, you can setup iOptigan® with a MIDI keyboard to approximate the playing experience of a real Optigan® (chord buttons on the iPad, keys on the keyboard), but there are also additional ways to control iOptigan® via MIDI as well as on screen. iOptigan® faithfully emulates the unique playback characteristics of the Optigan®, ie the “constant loop” of both the chord section and the keyboard. You also get tempo, reverb and balance controls that also behave as the original hardware.

Specifications and Features:

• Disc loading right-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

Oh, and for those looking for the definitive library of Optigan® and related loops for production work, we still offer that, too!

Legal stuff: You may use the iOptigan® audio loop content (“Audio Content”), contained in the iOptigan® Software, on a royalty-free basis, to create your own original soundtracks (ie derivative works) for your video and audio projects. You may broadcast and/or distribute your own soundtracks that were created using the Audio Content, however, individual samples, sound sets or audio loops may not be commercially or otherwise distributed on a standalone basis, nor may they be repackaged in whole or in part as audio samples, sound libraries, sound effects or music beds.
