" Often described as the 'Rolls Royce of Analog Synths', there is nothing quite like it and it is quite a rare find, especially in this condition. There were only about 350 made. The original development team at Sequential in the United States said "they felt it was the best synth Sequential ever made, and that there were only around 350 Prophet T8s ever made", making them amongst the rarest, and therefore most collectable, of the large analogue synthesizers of the early '80s.

A monstrous 8 voice polysynth from SCI! The T8 has a very fat Prophet-5-like tone. This synth adds many illustrious new features (for its time) such as full MIDI implementation, 76 full size weighted keys with velocity and aftertouch, split/layer double/unison keyboard modes, and a simple but useful real-time sequencer. The new keyboard features many dynamics enhancements, ie: aftertouch can affect pitch, level, filter or the LFO. It was Sequential's finest analog synthesizer. Digital control of analog sound with an extremely flexible, intuitive and beautiful design - right down to the wood panels!"
