The best source of spare parts and manuals for the Split-8 is Wine Country Productions,
1572 Park Crest Ct., #505, San Jose, CA 95118, U.S.A. (408) 265-2008;
www.winecountrysequential.com. Many SCI users complain about their high prices;
however, they are a complete source of SCI parts and documentation. They also have
Split-8 owner’s manuals and cassette tapes of the original preset sounds. A very useful
site for Curtis chips is found at Synthesis Technology, http://www.why.net/users/paults.
Other electronics firms may have Curtis CEM3394 chips or other components.

Benjamin Ward's homepage (http://www.dircon.co.uk/jeb/Tomita/seqcirpics.htm) This
page contains a colour .jpg image from the magazine ads (see below, section 5.4,
“literature”), a short comment about this Split-8, as well asother interesting information
about synths and an Isao Tomita archive.
Chris Jones' SCI homepage (http://128.146.71.22/sci.html) A nice set of pages dedicated
to later SCI instruments, mostly the Multi-Trak, Six-Trak and MAX. Contains a version
of this document and two images (front and back panels), contributed by me. These
images have found their way into several other web sites.
Analogue Heaven (http://hyperreal.org/music/machines/Analogue-Heaven/) Primarily a
site for the AH mailing list, also contains a very useful searchable archive of the list and
other discussions of analogue synthesizers. A good place for general information,
discussions and current asking prices for analogue gear. The Split-8 is discussed
occasionally.
Hyperreal/Music Machines (http://hyperreal.org/machines/) The parent site for Analogue
Heaven. A very useful archive of synthesizer specifications, discussions and links. The
Split-8 is not explicitly mentioned, other than possibly in a version of this document.
Synth.site (http://www.sonicstate.com/synth/test.html) This is among the best places to
discover and discuss information on synthesizers of all kinds. I have contributed a review
of the Split-8 that is less complete than this document, and a picture of the front panel.
The Virtual Synth Museum (http://www.synthmuseum.com) A very comprehensive
resource for synthesizers of pre-1990 vintage, including quotations from various books,
images and user-contributed reviews. A version of this document, another review of the
Split-8 and at least one image reside there.
Mamma: (http://www.mamma.com/) A very useful “meta-search” site that queries
multiple search engines(Altavista, Lycos, Webcrawler, others). Can also search usenet
and other areas of the internet.
Harmony Central news archive (http://harmony-central.mit.edu/cgi-bin/search-news.pl) A
searchable archive of some music-related usenet newsgroups. The Split-8 is occasionally
mentioned.
