«  ALESIS QS8 notice after 15 years »

Published on 03/06/13 at 16:36
QS Super 8 is a key stage with its 88 keys Touch Heavy and is not lost when passing or just a True Piano (even tailed).

Polyphony 64/2 Outputs Out / Aux Outputs 2/3 Pedal Input / 1 Output Headphone / Fiber Optics / 4 faders control effects in real time (which is selected) / Midi In / Out / Thru / G Midi / etc..

For sounds:

-There are 4 layers of sounds can be stacked. (Example: + Piano + Voice + String Ribbon)
This independently adjusting each sound:
(Volume / Effect / Split / Tone / Balance / etc etc ...)

He has 30 sounds theme and there are 13 themes that makes 390 Sounds!
(30 Piano) (30 Synthé1) (30 Synthé2) (30 Organ) (30 String) (30 Lower) (30 Guitar) Etc.
No "wheel brainer!"
We want Piano on pressing the [piano] button and choose which one. Etc.

Can resume as style, with the sounds of Alesis origins without hacking.
But it is a real synthesizer! There is to modulate (on a small screen, of course):
LFO / Lezle / AMP / Envlope / Range / Etc
(This is not Alesis we will learn what effect lol)

Pianos extras (Toto)
Of Roads (Supertramp)
Synths of the Jump (Van Halen)
Organs (Deep Purple) or (Cathedral for weddings)
Of Strings (Show Must Go Home)
Of patches (Goldman)
Guitars of Acc
Of Saxos
Harps
Etc.

To live (or Home), you can even store 10 Sons (X13) on a "User Preset"
A: (1 Piano / Strings 2 / -> 10 Organ) and this 13 times
B (1 -> 10) C (1 -> 10) ---> M (1 -> 10)

- I carry for over 15 years on stage and repeat with NO problem!
But with difficulty because NO PLASTIC!

All-Steel, Wood and edges keys Wholesale Rubber! The True Made In USA!
It came down to 1 meter high! (Thank you ex even) And he had nothing!

I still have my QS8 but I am separated from my EX Wife! lol
It was worth almost € 2500 anyway! Or 100 € / Kg !

All in good Zic

UTILIZATION

Easy to access

SOUNDS

Sounds very good

OVERALL OPINION

After 15 years:

+ + + The plus: The Music, the facilities of access, Robustness and Reliability (Not a Bug in 15 + years)

--- Cons: The score does not change the sound,
The Weight (25 Kg) and small screen (if bcp traffic sounds)
