"If you collect extreemly rare keyboards and synthisizers this is it !
This is a mint.. like new, ( 1985 ) never used Armonyx 8000 system ! The keyboard alone weighs over 32 lbs. The keyboard is made with extreem quality. It uses a light pen to draw your waveform and the light pen must use an RGB graphics card with light pen port on it. Yes that's right, we're talking XT DOS systems.
What a beautiful collectors item... for personal collectors or musems.
It comes with software, computer card, light pen, all cables, maunal, keyboard, custom sewn vinyl keyboard cover, in original box. ( box is over 4 1/2 feet long .)I'm sure it all functions fine, but am selling "as is "... no returns.. the box is too big to shuffle around much. I'll double box it which will take some time.
The software should be good... but setting that many years in a box, I don't know if the sofware is still good on not. ( should be. )
This company was light years ahead of other systems when they intruducd this fantastic synthisizer. You could just draw any waveform you wished and imediately hear the sound you just created on the multi voice polyphonic keyboard.Installation Requirments:
IBM-PC hardware and software compatibility.
At least 256K system RAM
IBM-PC color graphics adaptor or compatible.

It notes that if you own a Tandy 1000 computer.. that it has a light pen port on the back of the computer. Other wise, you'll have to make sure your RGB card supports light pen port.
