Artist's Opinion

The M Tron Pro and it’s expansion packs are completely believable and as authentic as they come. I’ve used these on many records and on tour  – I couldn’t do without them in my arsenal of sounds

The Original Instrument

Optigan®

Originally manufactured by toy maker Mattel®, the Optigan was an attempt to break into the burgeoning ‘home entertainment’ market of the 1970s.

It used LP sized plastic discs on which sounds, backing tracks and effects were stored and these were read by an optical sensor on the instrument itself.
