Optigans

[Todd Madson <crash@waste.org>]

Actually, it's really funny:
In a 1982 issue of Keyboard magazine they interviewed Mark Motherbaugh
of Devo and he talked about the optigon organ.

He said that it that at the time it came out, people paid $2,000 for the
privilege of owning one, and then they just sat in people's basements for
decades.

He'd buy them for $20 to $200 and use them.

He said the best part was that you could put the optical discs in 
upside down and backwards so that the banjos would play sucking sounds.

He said it was the only keyboard that made him laugh out loud each time
he played it.
