Now you can play the legendary Optigan on your iPad or iPhone!
The Optigan, short for Optical Organ, was a chord organ from the early 70’s.
It is remembered today for its unique system of sound reproduction using optical discs.
These LP-sized film discs were optically encoded with 57 concentric tracks, which
contained loops of musical combos playing chord patterns in different styles.
Each disc contained a specific style of music (Bossa Nova, Big Band etc) which the user
could control by pressing the chord buttons. Changing the discs was as simple as putting
a new record on your turntable. Think of it as the 1971 version of GarageBand.
Despite this novel technology, the scratchy sound of the Optigan left a lot to be desired.
iOptigan truthfully recreates that lo-fi sound.

The sound quality was quite low, even according to the standards of the 70's.
We did nothing to polish up on this, so if you're looking for a clean, crisp instrument, look elsewhere.
But if you're ready for some audible patina, iOptigan is the right choice for you!

While earlier entries like The Aviator’s Wife (1981) focused on male jealousy, Pauline at the Beach shifts perspective to . Marion is hardly a villain; she is a woman grasping for a grand passion, even if that passion exists mainly in her own narration. Pauline, by contrast, represents a clarity that the adults have lost—a clarity that, the film suggests, may be both enviable and unsustainable. Marion is hardly a villain; she is a
The film opens as fifteen‑year‑old Pauline (Amanda Langlet) and her recently divorced cousin Marion (Arielle Dombasle) arrive at Marion’s family beach house in , Normandy. While unpacking, Marion quizzes Pauline about romance; Pauline admits she has never been seriously interested in anyone. That innocence immediately contrasts with Marion’s feverish desire for “love at first sight,” a fantasy that will drive much of the film’s conflict.
