It is precisely this behaviour that can also be utilised in the plug-in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHowever, with the additional Flex Mode, this original limitation can be overcome. Pitch and speed can be adjusted independently of one another - ideal for new sonic experiments that were not possible with the hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlternatively, the Optigan can be synchronised directly to your DAW's tempo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe original's characteristic reverb has also been taken into account: an emulation of the spring reverb is available for the keyboard section. The historic Optigan also featured an adjustable reverb for the melody section.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlay just like on the original - or in a completely different way The plug-in adopts the Optigan's unique control concept and adapts it for use on a computer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe instruments can be played via a MIDI keyboard, a computer keyboard, or directly using a mouse or touchpad.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVarious chord recognition options make it easier to control the accompaniment section. And even a charming quirk of the original hardware hasn't been forgotten: Programme discs can be inserted upside down - just like on the original.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the original, inserting a disc the wrong way round actually caused the music to play backwards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAuthentic replica of the Optigan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll 40 original programme discs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlus 3 unofficial prototype discs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEmulation of the original motor and speed behaviour\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTempo and pitch can be controlled in tandem, just like on the hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlex Mode for independent control of pitch and speed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSynchronization to DAW tempo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpring reverb emulation for the keyboard section\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVarious chord recognition options\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProgram discs can be played backwards, just like the original\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlayable via MIDI keyboard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlayable via computer keyboard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirect control via mouse or touchpad\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScalable user interface from 50 per cent to 200 per cent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNative support for Apple Silicon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle purchase, two activations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"DSP Bricks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68470811787487,"sku":"DSPBR-OGAN","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0016\/5173\/6636\/files\/optigan.png?v=1794643093","url":"https:\/\/pluginfox.com\/products\/dsp-bricks-optigan","provider":"PluginFox","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
