The Sequential Circuits Prophet T8 is the only polyphonic analog synthesizer that was designed with a full hammer action keyboard, velocity sensitivity AND polyphonic aftertouch. It has 8 voices, 76 keys and the keyboard can be used to play all one patch, be split into two sections with different patches active on each, or layered with two different sounds. The voices sound very similar to the Prophet 5 (rev 3+) and are in fact identical to Prophet 600 voices, offering expanded modulation routing options and the incredible expressive power of polyphonic aftertouch. With its wonderful keyboard, this is a great synth for a pianist and one of my favorites as a classically trained pianist myself. It also has MIDI and sends channel aftertouch over MIDI, making it a great master controller for a MIDI studio.

This unit is serial number #0009!

CONDITION / SERVICE DETAILS

We believe in transparency when selling “pro serviced” synths so always include documentation of what services every synth we sell has received. Our approach to servicing vintage instruments entails both making sure every synth is working 100% now, and eliminating common failure points to preempt future issues.

This unit received the following services while it was here with us:

  • Power supply update: all polarized (electrolytic and tantalum) capacitors, rectifiers and regulators in the power supply replaced
  • All tantalum capacitors throughout the entire synth replaced
  • Battery replaced and factory sounds loaded
  • All panel controls cleaned
  • Keyboard sensor PCB spacing adjusted; worn-down balance rail, aftertouch and downstop foam replaced
  • Calibrated to factory standards
  • Testing and 24+ hour burn in period

Cosmetic condition: good to very good. There is a modification consisting of two extra wood strips added to the sides that allow a custom wood key cover to be latched on to protect the keys during storage/transport.

The black top metal sheet has a spattering of many very tiny spots where the black powder coat is gone.
