So you are saying you don't like computers that actually work and perform perfectly ????? Strange . The PC crowd is certainly a head in the sand crowd . The problem with the SPLIT 8 is that you could be the only one in you're state with one . They were not a popular synthesizer . I remember back in 1985 the stores couldn't give them away . I actually like them , it's a different sound than the typical Roland or Korg sound . But SCI was already on their way out and people knew it , so their product sales ground to a hault . The SPLIT 8 sold even worse than the SIXTRACK , MULTITRACK , and MAX . The problem is for a good programmer is to actually get a hold of one . Good luck .
