When Fostex launched the world's first eight-track on 1/4" tape format they produced an excellent budget multitrack tape machine that's had a profound effect on the growth of recording facilities and the musician's approach to songwriting. Paul Gilby looks at what's on offer from their new Model 80.

In these days of fast moving music technology, the Fostex A-8 tape recorder has had a good long run when compared to most keyboards whose lifespan is lucky to extend past twelve months.

So why a new eight-track from Fostex? Well, other than for purely commercial reasons of superceding an old model with perhaps a slightly improved specification and changes in cosmetics to a more contemporary hi-tech black, there is an important difference: synchronisation.

The Model 80 is in fact part of a new range of products from Fostex released several months ago. These include the Model 20 two-track and the 450 mixer, which together with the Model 80 are preparing the ground for the introduction of SMPTE/MIDI control
