I love this sound ... but I also think it's important to know the year of manufacture and who made it ... these electonic engineers deserve our appreciation, they make us happy ...

I used to have one of these. It was always more gutsy than digital string synthesizers that came out later.

In the 1970s they were called "String Machines" and at the time such "Machines" were awesome, but today they sound nowt like what they are supposed to... still be nice to own one and a Mellotron

Can you still buy this thing? Is there a digital version?

Fantastic. So much brilliant 70s music was made with the help of one of these.

LeGerbs

This is the synth that was used in Joy Division's 'Atmosphere'.

ojutan

the sound at the beginning was used in the movie "Dark Star" - now I know from where it came from

N. Chaplin

That's a handsome looking Optigan you have there.

Lawrence O

No offense to anyone, but this thing sounds like a serious pile of shit :-D  Times have changed...

Al Vogel

In the studio, disco music musicians mostly used real strings and full orchestra but in live concerts, sometimes the strings section was replaced by this keyboard to cut spending. Check out Walter Murphy and Santa Esmeralda live performances and you'll know what I mean, but anyway,the difference between this keyboard and real strings can be easily distinguished.

You're so cute. <3 :):)

Exactly ! That's why they sound so great compared to modern strings emulations who are more realistic but also less beautiful. They don't have the magic :) That is the difference between "be inspired of" and "try to sound like". So, like you said, a wonderful failure !

You will find that pissing the hell off will be your best option about now. This is no place for nit picking arseholes who big themselves up, by pulling others down. Take you and your low self esteem to a Miley video!
