8 DX7 synths in 1! 8 TF1 modules. Here's a great vintage unit up for sale. Really hard to part with but alas, I must. This has been a great unit for some killer monster analog sounds! You know who's used these before so you know how amazing it is. It's been kept well in a non-smoking studio. All 8 modules work very well. Just had a battery installed by certified tech. Easy to do if you need to again.    It's been gently used in a non-smoking studio environment.   Here's some specs for you: The TX816 is a monster of DX and FM digital synthesis.  Rack unit takes up to eight TF1 modules.  A TF1 module is basically a  condensed down to a single circuit board with almost no front panel controls.   External hardware and software controls the TX816 allowing you to easily carry around up to eight DX7s!  DX7 can be used to program the sounds in each module via MIDI.  Each TF1 module consists of a 16-voice, 6-operator digital FM synth engine. So a complete TX816 with all eight TF1 modules would offer up to 128 voices and 48 operators!  Each TF1 also features an independent audio out (XLR) and MIDI I/O for a total of eight audio outputs and MIDI I/O's.  It also has one global MIDI in/out port with 8-part multitimbrality,  "The TX816 was designed for demanding live use where portability, polyphony, and lots of outputs are a must! The TX816 is fully compatible with all other DX synthesizers including Native Instruments software-based plug-in. You can use the TX816 like it's eight separate DX7s or mix and pan each module together to layer your sounds into one monstrous DX powerhouse! It has been used by Kitaro, Chick Corea, Michael Jackson, Europe, and Scritti Politti". It still has the original plastic card still underneath. Has printed out manual. And even a 10' power cord!It will be shipped in a sturdy box with good packing. Buyer will be responsible for any duty, tax, brokerage and any other fees.  Please ask any questions. I'd be happy to answer them. Thanks very much for looking! Cheers.
