Octave Plateau Voyetra Eight with VPK-5 Keyboard

“WORKING CONDITION: Excellent – Works great. All of the controls and parameters are working properly. Each key on the keyboard is responsive as well. The factory patches sound incredible. In all, everything is fully functional and in excellent working condition.

PHYSICAL CONDITION: Very Good – This specific version of the Voytra 8 comes with added MIDI ports on the back panel which replace the stock XLR-style jacks that were there originally. Very useful! There are the expected scuffs and signs of racking on the chassis and light normal use around the keyboard. Everything is very clean with each button, knob, and key perfectly intact. The ATA road case for the keyboard is also covered in stickers. The overall, physical condition is very good.

INVENTORY #50689

BRAND: Octave Plateau

MODEL: Voyetra Eight

FUNCTION: Poly Analog Synthesizer

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: This listing is for an extremely rare Octave Plateau Voyetra Eight 8 Voice Poly Analog Synthesizer with VPK-5 61-Note Keyboard. This is the revered “Rev-4” version with the green circuit boards, tear-drop-style knobs, and MIDI Ports on the back.

This represents the sole known instance of a Voyetra Eight featuring conventional standard MIDI connectors on its rear, as opposed to the exclusive XLR jacks and adapters employed by all other Voyetra Eights. This exceptional configuration allows it to effortlessly and instantly integrate into any studio or stage arrangement.

Furthermore, it should be noted that this synthesizer holds historical significance as the world’s first rackmount Synthesizer. It is crafted entirely with discrete analog circuitry, a distinctive feature. Additionally, it boasts the presence of both SSM and CEM filter chips, an exceedingly rare trait within the realm of synthesizers.

The Voyetra 8 has been used by New Order, Depeche Mode, Eurythmics, Nine Inch Nails, and Trevor Horn (“Video Killed The Radio Star”)

For this listing, the synth was fully serviced by Chaz Labrecque the in-house tech and designer at Hans Zimmer’s Remote Control Productions in Santa Monica. Capacitors were checked and replaced if needed, the battery was replaced, and the velocity and aftertouch sensitive keyboard was completely disassembled, meticulously cleaned, and refitted with brand-new rubber contacts. All connections tested and given a clean bill of health for many years of music creation!” Click here to visit listing on eBay

Octave Voyetra Eight

“Like nearly all the high end vintage analog synths we sell, this item has been METICULOUSLY disassembled, cleaned inside and out, FULLY serviced by professionals who’ve been servicing and selling vintage synths for more than the last 2 decades, and systematically tested multiple times over a long period to ensure it’s working exactly as it should. No BS. No ebay surprises. We’re perfectionists and don’t cut corners. Although this instrument came to us in relatively good shape, we want our items to be better than the rest and invested *many* hours of tech time plus parts costs to fully overhaul this unit so it would be clean, working like new again and as reliable as possible for its next owner. This was a serious investment of time, love, and money, and was definitely worth the effort and is of course reflected in the higher than usual price. If you’re looking for a great sounding example of this model that works just like it should without needing to invest hundreds or thousands of dollars in tech fees and waiting from weeks to years, this one should make you very happy.

This is no ordinary Voyetra Eight. It’s been fully refurbished and future-proofed. But that’s not all. This one’s got our custom tuning stabilization mods to make it the instrument it should have been. For more info about these mods and why they are necessary, please read about it on our website. This process takes 60-80 hours of skilled labor, and this is naturally reflected in its high price. This one’s for the discriminating buyer who wants the best V8 money can buy. You will not be disappointed. ” Click here to search for synths on eBay
