> Go to optigan.com.  Pea Hix sells a cd rom in Akai format (ChickenSys' Translator program can convert it to another format if you need it) that features all the sounds of the Optigan, Orchestron and Talentmaker.  The disks are optically read so there is really no wear, although they sound quite "charming" right out of the box.  i bought an optigan and its a piece of crap.

I owned two Optigans which I converted for use with Orchestron discs.  I
used to play in a progresive rock group and we used them in addition to a
Mellotron.  I always thought the Orcheston discs sounded good, especially
the Cello.

I think my favorite sound would have to be the Choir or the Flute...On the other hand I am eagerly waiting for my Saxophone disc....But I´ll get back to you on that...
