Incredible.
Incredible app, love the optigan so much, i think optigan.com actually introduced me to this beautiful instrument.
Also, an error that I realized with the “Gay 90’s Waltz” disc, according to an actual picture of the disc it has 2 red flashers on it, one on the downbeat and on the 4th beat. Also, if you try and play Mr Wilson manually, for some reason when you enter the vamp loop section, the 5th switch turns downwards.

Classic sounds! It’s just so awesome!
One of my favorite apps. Still #1 in 2023! I mean 2024!!
Great App, Needs Update
Love how you’ve captured and recreated such a unique musical time capsule, but this app is 4+ years old and still on version 1.0 and that’s why this will have to be a 3-star review. I’m using an M1 iPad Pro with an external MIDI controller. The amount of stuck/phantom keys makes this unusable as anything other than a short-lived toy. I suggest: * Updating codebase to use AudioKit Engine, likely fixing any latency/stuck key issues * Adding toggle to allow app to run in background. Would love to play the app with my controller while playing from one of the many free PDFs you’ve made available, all on one iPad * Allowing app to be loaded as an AudioUnit Extension. Current InterApp Audio functionality is broken in Garageband and I’d love to be able to sequence these patterns with more control than what’s offered in-app * Updating app to include newly released sound packs as additional paid purchases * Providing clarification for the chord identification methods. The video on your site provides little to no help. You’ve got something really unique and special here. Consider showing it the continued love it deserves.

This is a truly amazing app
I don’t usually leave reviews, but I can’t believe how awesome this app is. If you’ve ever wanted an Optigan, please just do yourself a huge favor and get this. As a live musician and home recording obsessive who is always looking for new ideas, great crackly analog sounds and beats - this is a literal dream come true. I may get an iPad just to experience this app on a larger scale. That’s how great it is. Thanks, Pea and team! 🎹

Good, but…
E major plays the sample for D Diminished instead? It’s weird. The weirdest part is that it isn’t swapped. D Diminished still plays what it’s supposed to. PLSFIX!
Very very cool
I love this. It’s a shame it’s dead, but hey like all cool things, they don’t last long 👍
Great for experimentalists
A digital recreation of an accompaniment device from decades past, I have never used it for it’s intended function. But if you are into experimentation/ambience/noise and dark ambient genres, this amazing app and the downloadable tracks for it are a treasure trove of wobbly lo if wonderfulness. Slow the speed right down, chuck it through a reverb, and you are away. A superb left field app. There early is nothing else like it on the App Store.

Stunning!
Awesome App if an instrument of my dream. Will we soon see an AUV3 version of this?
Classic sounds! It’s just so awesome!
One of my favorite apps. Still #1 in 2023!
Top shelf.
This is fantastic.
Really well done.
Really well done.
Amazing.
I use this app everyday, it’s just incredible but, we need iChliton!
Beauty and very similar
This sounds just like the Optigan I had. I only had a couple of discs and this has the whole set. Very much worth the price. I should have known Pea Hicks was involved. It is outstanding!
Great but one complaint
I was hoping that the Talentmaker discs would be on here
It’s gas
Sick app. (The c418 sample is in the bossanova style)
i love it so mucj
i love it a lot there’s good music on it but im terrible at music but the songs r good
Great App.
Brings me back to the day when I had my Optigan. My only criticism for this app is, I wish it had a way of limiting the loudness of the pops and scratches (equalizer?) they seem louder than I recall on my original optigan and not all of my discs were pristine. Otherwise, this is still an outstanding app! Thanks!

Really cool but doesn’t fit modern screen sizes.
This app is great, but it doesn’t fill the entire screen for more recent devices. If you could update the app with larger screen compatibility that would be amazing.
Just like digging in the crates!
Perfect for trap beats!
Question
I spent years looking for Optigan sounds to throw into a rompler, etc. Nothing ever worked that great. iOptigan has everything all in one place once you buy all the discs. My only issue is trying to figure out how to export a wav. Is this not available?
very good except a few things
the touch is a little off for the bottom row of buttons, and i cannot get any sound to come through the left of my headphones. kind of problematic since i wanted to use the samples to make music,,
