NEW 2010 Vako Orchestron Disc - PIANO

Now available at http://www.optigan.com/shoptigan

Now available for pre-order! A new release in our line of Vako Orchestron discs, PIANO. It's unlikely that there will be sufficient demand to do a second run of 25 of these discs, so your best bet is to buy as many of these as you need while you can! Any future additional copies will most likely be done as one-offs, which are twice as expensive to produce, and thus will cost twice as much.

PIANO is an entirely NEW sound for the Orchestron. The source is a brand new recording of an acoustic spinet piano. Given constant-looping playback nature of the Orchestron, it's impossible to play this disc like you would a normal piano sound. The note attacks have been staggered across a 16th-note grid, such that by holding down chords, you get a sort of "windchime" arpeggiated rhythmic effect, perfect for haunting lo-fi harmonic textures. This disc is also well-suited to playing in reverse, as well as thru the Orchestron's spring reverb unit. Please excuse my awful playing here, which is just a quick noodle to demonstrate the sound!

PLEASE NOTE: This disc WILL NOT play properly in an Optigan! They WILL play, but the sounds will NOT be mapped correctly to the keyboard- they will be mapped mostly haphazardly across the chord buttons. Please don't order this disc expecting to easily use it in an Optigan. In the future we will be porting the Orchestron sounds to the Optigan- please be patient! :)

Stay tuned for more Orchestron discs, both new and remastered titles!
