Optigan Drums MG Reel.wav

The second in our series of classic hardware drum sounds, this Reel of 17 drum patterns were taken from our collection of discs for the Optigan!

Designed by Mattel and available from 1971-1976, the Optigan was an organ that used an optical playback system to interpret drawings made on clear discs as sounds. These sounds included organs, guitars, voices and, in some cases, drum loops.

The 17 drum patterns in this Reel exist as individual Splices, all formatted to loop at the same rate— patch EOSG to your favorite clock divider/multiplier and create new rhythms and sequences based around the Optigan loops!

As always, experiment and have fun!
