"Hi Folks,
Once a year I get someone emailing me asking for information on the Orgatron. Sadly, I lost all that information to a HDD crash in 2009 or so, and I sold the Orgatron soon after these pictures were published, as I moved to a much smaller house.
So, I'm really sorry - I can't help anyone out with further information about the keyboard.
It had a chord organ section on the left, and the main synth voice was a very sketchy monosynth. There was some kind of weak lowpass filter that would close on some of the brass sounds, I seem to remember.
If you can get one for $50 -- do it!
If you can get one for $200 -- don't do it!"
Oof, was expecting broken-type sounds, but nothing like that. Even just a solid internal cleaning/deoxidating (word?) might bring it back to life, though.
ReplyDeleteIf I hadn't looked at the page, I would have just passed it off as another shitty platic reed organ toy.
ReplyDeletedamn that made my brain hurt
ReplyDeleteI don't think that is good for the speakers!
ReplyDeletePerhaps if you put a 555 in it (not hooked up, just sort of taped inside), you could re-sell it as a circuit bent thingamajapper.
ReplyDeleteCircuit bent by father time.
Now with new 555 circuit and 'Vintage Caps' :)
does anyone know when the orgatron was first made or when the orgatron 4 was?
