Welcome!
Congratulations on your purchase of an Alesis QS6.2/QS8.2 64-Voice
Expandable Synthesizer! It’s a powerful instrument and we’re sure you
will find it exciting to use!
Those of you who are familiar with the enormously-popular QS-line of
synthesizers may be wondering, "What has changed in the new QS6.2
and QS8.2?".
Well, we've kept the same great sound engine but totally redesigned the
output section. We replaced the 18-bit D/A (digital-to-analog)
converters with vastly superior Alesis 24-bit audio converters, resulting in
a tremendous improvement in sound quality (much higher signal-to-noise
ratio, and much lower distortion). You can hear the difference in the
crystal-clear sounds. Go ahead - turn up the volume... We also refined
the look of the keyboards and rearranged the front panel controls to
make them more intuitive and improve ergonomics.
In addition, we improved the little, but important, things. The User Bank
Programs have been completely updated. The rear-panel jacks have been
moved to make the QS6.2 fit on certain kinds of stands better. We even
re-wrote the manual and added a FAQ with the questions we've received
the most over the years.
And don't forget, like their predecessors, the QS6.2 and QS8.2 are
expandable. With an Alesis Q-Card ROM expansion, you get 8MB of
additional professional-quality samples to add to your palette, in whatever
genre of music you're into. Ask your music dealer about Alesis Q-Cards.
Be sure to register your QS synthesizer on the Alesis website,
www.alesis.com. Here, you will find some cool items to go with your QS
synthesizer, like additional sound Banks and Sound Bridge software.
We hope your investment will bring you many years of creative
enjoyment and help you achieve your goals.
Sincerely,
The people of Alesis
