After putting together my last layout for mute group emulation for the Korg MicroSAMPLER, I had another idea...

I have long been a fan of tape-based instruments and was (still am) fairly obsessed with optical playback keyboards like the Optigan, Orchestron and Talentmaker. There's no real emulation of the Optigan other than using VST software (none of which work quite right).
