Sequential Circuits SPLIT EIGHT Reverse Keys

Details translated into Googlish (anyone know how many presets you can layer/split?):
"The apparently only for the American market certain SPLIT-EIGHT is roughly coincide with the SIX-TRAK published, but offered eight votes. The votes structure is that of the comparable SIX-TRAK, also an oscillator per vote. However, it is possible for all 64 presets split and layer sounds to use as much fettere sounds feasible to make. During the multi-Trak 10 and the Six-Trak only 2 of them are available. Also it has the well-known by SCI Poly modulation. The device was quite clear only in very small quantities and was produced by me so far only once in Germany discovered a second job. Worldwide, I have no SPLIT-EIGHT keyboard with inverted. Pro voice has a VCO, a 24 dB / Oct. Low pass filter, a VCA and 2 ADSR envelopes the filter and the VCA available. All analogue. In addition, the SPLIT-EIGHT one of the LFO waveforms triangle and rectangle reproduced. The exhibition was SPLIT-EIGHT apparently only at NAMM Show 1985 in New Orleans.

When SPLIT-EIGHT is almost to the revised version of the PRO-8, with special emphasis on the MIDI implementation surprising result for 1985 (Local Off for a sound program, SysEx data interchange). For their own sound programs are 64 locations available. There are MIDI IN and OUT, a stereo output and a mix mono output. Some keys produce no sound or need something emphatically. You have the key contacts times to be cleaned. About MIDI but it can be completely. Otherwise, he has been in a technically flawless. Visually, he has his age a few scratches. The top volume from the previous Poti has been glued and eiert something (see photo). In addition, it hurts a little. I unfortunately do not add to the background of this special edition only. For questions or to send more images I am happy to e-mail. It may also be happy with me at home or tried to be picked up.

  2. You can split the sound in 2 layers of 4 each. It had 2 outs, and in single mode, alternate notes would come out each side.

    My response to my new found interest in Steve Reich and other serialist composers. I hadn't heard much serialism, but, it turns out, it is an accurate response to the larger body of work. I recorded this on a Sequential Circuits Split-8 which I owned for a while back in Perth, and wish I still had her. You couldn't square-wave LFO the VCA, so, I had to Square LFO the Pulse Width, which goes thin enough to be inaudible with a mid range filter setting. I found the sound, pressed play on the recorder, and laid this down improvised, with no rehersals.

    Silly Synth Song is on http://www.loscha.com/music/index.html, and that's on the Split 8 as well.

    They have an envelope bug where I think it was 14 on the decay was actually sorter than 13 or something.....
