I have an MMT8 that I got off of Ebay, and some advice if you're
going to buy one: the buttons wear out. The buttons on the MMT8 are
rubber buttons that have carbon conductive material on the bottom of
them that make the connections. This carbon wears off on the older
ones. In fact, do they even make the MMT8 anymore?
Anyway, I got one off of Ebay and the buttons were completely dead.
I bought a rubber button repair kit from an electronics supply store
and fixed the buttons and the thing works like new now!!
And, it's a great machine! Easy to use.
Anyway, be careful of getting one off of Ebay, if you go that route.

the entire system and play it all back on the synths live. It has
song mode and 8 tacks per pattern can be linked up up to 99 parts 16
midi channels on each track. Very cool and an easy cheap reliable way
to use live gear or fast when you dont feel like running cu basis or
cake wlk.An alesis mmt 8 should be only 100 to 150 bucks no longer
made by alesis it is a bargain and the easiest sequencer to use on
the planet. Alot of real musicians use them. The data disk and the
mmt8 are the easiest way to create music and I used them before we
had real computers worked like a charm live.
