"For sale is this early 1980s Sequential Circuits T8 synthesizer. This example, serial number 230, is in fully serviced studio ready condition. It works perfectly, and sounds fantastic. It's in very excellent cosmetic shape though it does display wear and several imperfections (photographed below). A similar example just sold for $6000 + shipping, so bid now and get a great deal!

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!"
