“Somebody flaked on this one a month back, after realizing it does not come with a power cord. No power cord comes with. This is a power cord missing item.. also needs a new internal batt. I have tested it with my sequential Tom cord, and it turns on and sequencing functions work…the sound has gotten quieter as the internal batt wore down. Now it doesn’t make a sound.but still powers.. please no refunds. This will need some services.” Click here to visit listing on eBay
“In good functional condition. Has woodgrain end cheeks instead of the black painted ones. Volume pots are a little scratchy but all functional. There were note stickers on the keys that were removed. Some keys have minor damage, but nothing to hinder performance. Sounds amazing, but I have too many polysynths at the moment.”

“Up for sale is our Sequential Circuits SPLIT EIGHT analog synth. This is the big brother to the Six Trak and MultiTrak classic synths. It has the ability to stack or split two sounds for big analog goodness. It is loaded with custom patches for our studio… lots of great pads, efx, leads, basses and more. I left the last 2 banks blank for your programming additions! This piece sounds huge… great addition to any stage or studio that needs TRUE classic analog goodness. It works great… All buttons and keys work. I could not get midi to transmit but i think its something im not doing in the settings, otherwise this piece is ready for your music! Due to age and vintage analog era technology, sold as is.” Click here to visit listing on eBay

“Bought this on eBay several years ago on a whim and only used it for one show. It was professionally serviced (cleaned up the circuits and connections) a couple of years ago. This thing has a nice warm sound and is perfect for the 80s analog synth enthusiast.” Click here to visit listing on eBay
” Hello, and thank you for visiting my listing. Here we have a Sequential Circuits Split Eight in an amazing condition. They are somewhat harder to find, and are typically not in this kind of shape. It can make some extremely crazy sounds, and you can “choose between 8 voice polyphony with 1 oscillator per voice, 4 voice polyphony with dual oscillators per voice, 2 voice polyphony with a mega 4 oscillators per voice, or the unison mode which is just a fat 8-voice solo mode for trance bass and lead heaven.” (VSE) It is extremely intuitive, has MIDI IN and OUT, and is a lot of fun for someone who wants to make never-heard sounds on an analog synth in great shape.
As I outlined in the condition description and pictures, there are some nicks and some scratches, though you can also see this is in amazing condition, and would be if this were 1991 let alone 2016. You can easily repaint the side-caps…I just don’t tend to mess with older original things if they are not causing functional problems. With regards to functional problems, I can find absolutely zero. I am including the original manual, and the power supply is integrated. ” Click here to visit listing on eBay
“This is a Sequential Split 8, which I’ve owned for more than 15 years. It’s been stored in a closet for the last 10.
Cosmetically, it’s great, and powers up right away. The key bushings feel good.
Unfortunately, one of the voices isn’t tuning properly and needs calibration.
Some of the key contacts are dirty and don’t function when pressed (but will if the key is worked back and forth and contact made.)
Because of these issues, I’m selling it as “for parts/ not working.” Click here to visit listing on eBay

“Being vintage, the output level pots are pretty scratchy. Obviously this doesn’t effect the sound when you are playing. All the keys respond very well, however one key (the upper G#) is a little more stubborn. It works it just needs to be hit a little more aggressively.” Click here to visit listing on eBay
“This is a used Sequential Circuits Split 8.
The synth plays well, but it seems that the factory memory has been wiped (the internal battery might need to be placed) and you’ll have to reload the factory patches via sysex dump. There is the normal wear and tear, as you’d expect, and the keyboard has a slight bow in the middle.
That said, with a system restore and a little internal dusting, maybe a new internal battery (you can get this at Wine Country), this can be a great synth for 80’s warm pads and dirty/spacey leads.” Click here to visit listing on eBay

“Cleaning out the studio a bit now that I have some new gear. This Split was my go-to synth for many years, it’s a really great sounding piece of gear. I just replaced the memory battery, so if you’re interested in the factory patches, you’ll have to reload them (easily done from a google search). Fully functional and in great shape overall. Plays well, sounds great. Enjoy this beast!” Click here to visit listing on eBay
“This an great, underrated synth. Chances are you know that if you’re looking at this listing. I just don’t have room for it anymore.
It was recently serviced to replace some sticky keys and everything was looked over. All voices are running fine. It’s in perfect, working condition.
One thing to know that “normal” behavior is a bit odd on this synth. When only one channel is active the voices are split across every other key. Maybe that’s part of the reason for the name Split-Eight? Anyway, it threw me for a curve the first time I tried it so I wanted to pass that info on. It’s not a design flaw or a problem with this unit, it’s just the way it’s supposed to be.” Click here to visit listing on eBay
“For your consideration is the very rare Sequential Circuits Split-8 analog synthesizer.
The synth has been used in my smoke free studio, and shows some minor cosmetic wear(see pics).
The Split-8 has been recently serviced by a professional technician and is completely tested and functional.
The servicing included general upkeep and repair including a new battery and a new voice chip.
Included in the listing is the Sequential Circuits Split-8 as pictured.” Click here to visit listing on eBay
” Up for sale is a sequential circuits Split-Eight Synthesizer. Works great, takes about 5-10 minutes to stay in tune, after that it is good to go! Cosmetically it is in very good condition, one key has a cigarette burn though. It has been modified for 2 AA batteries to store the memory for easy and solder-less replacement. There are 8 voices which can be split and layered. The layers are amazing and my favorite part of this synth. Really warm and complex sounds, you can even modulate the filter of one layered sound with the output of the first! Its called Poly-Mod. The midi implementation is very basic, but it does support sysex patch dumps. All the factory presets have been re-installed. Another thing to mention is that the front panel LEDs flicker lightly sometimes, seemingly randomly. It does not affect the functionality whatsoever.” Click here to visit listing on eBay
” 1 used Sequential Circuits Split 8 Synthesizer, fully functional, all original. There are no saved presets. The wooden sides panels were damaged during a move so that they are split for roughly the length of a key. The cracked portion is still firmly in place, does not effect the function of the synthesizer at all, and could very easily be repaired/replaced by some handy individual. There is a purely superficial surface scratch, visible in pictures three and eight. There are numerous minor surface scratches on the bottom, visible in picture 9. With those cosmetic blemishes in consideration, this machine is still remarkably well preserved. Thanks!” Click here to visit listing on eBay

“Hello
This auction is for a Sequential Circuits Split 8 synthesizer in nice condition
This Split-8 synthesizer has been used in our personal studio.
All the buttons, keys and voices work nicely and the patches sound wonderfully warm and vintage.
It’s easy to layer patches and it sounds so fat, lush, and overall incredible especially when played at 2 VCO’s per voice.
Cosmetically there are some areas to take note of. There is some visible rust in areas where the paint has chipped and a larger area of rust that is under the right side of the keybed (see photo). The left endcheek has a split in the wood that goes all the way across and through but it still feels like it’s held on there. The paint on the endcheeks has worn off at the edges. The keys have accumulated some light scratches over the years that is typical of a synthesizer of this age.
Other than the cosmetic flaws noted, this Split-8 is in good shape and appears to have been cared for despite a period of neglect.
It still looks good in my opinion however you can carefully view the photos to get a good idea and judge for yourself.” Click here to visit listing on eBay
