From Our Research Team:

Tons of great sounds in an affordable synth!

The superior sounds and the great price of the Alesis QS synths have made them incredibly popular among musicians of all styles, and the QS8.2 continues that traditon of excellence combined with affordability. This is a phenomenal performance and production synthesizer that delivers truly professional power and flexibility.

The selection of top-quality sounds inside the QS8.2 will astound you - no other keyboard in its class has sounds this good. In addition to 24-bit DACs, 64-voice polyphony, effects, and much more, the QS8.2 also features 4MB of internal Flash memory. This not only gives the synths 4MB of brand new sounds, but allows for the creation of custom sample sets to be available directly from the keyboard, providing musicians with more flexibility and more sound choices than ever.


Features:
  • QS8.2 features an 88-key, fully-weighted hammer-action keyboard with velocity and release velocity
  • True 64-voice polyphony
  • 16MB of internal sound ROM (640 programs, 500 multitimbral mixes) including Alesis' acclaimed Stereo Grand Piano sound
  • Onboard 4-bus multieffects with reverb, chorus, distortion,
    EQ, delay, rotary speaker simulation, and more
  • 4 edit/control sliders, pitch and mod wheels. 2 assignable pedal inputs plus sustain pedal input

Awesome

by Kyle from Boston, MA

Music Background: Keyboardist for local band
I LOVE this keyboard. Not only can it be a great synth, but it is also a great studio/stage piano. If you have ever listened to older Evanescence songs, the piano that is used is the present grand pia... read more [+]no right out of the box. This is a GREAT keyboard for the money. I also love the expnsion slot, plus the weighted action. The action is slightly on the light side, but I play very heavily, so this helps me tone down my playing greatly. I highly reccomend this keyboard to anyone. The only criticism would be to add a sequencer abnd have a 128-note polyphony upgrade. Then this would be a powerhouse that I'd never stop playing. close [-]

good synth

I'm very new in synth stuff, and I got this keyboard for a really good deal. It works really well, but the piano sounds aren't the best. Plenty of options as far as synth lead etc goes.

Great keyboard

I don't own one, but I have played one. This keyboard is probably one of the best that I have ever played. (I've played the ES8, S90ES, RD700, RD700SX, P80, S03, and a lot more) the piano is very, ver... read more [+]y excellent. The Organs are the most accurate ones I have ever played, the strings are great. This product is so good, that I am going to get the Fusion. I have also played an old QS, it is great also. NOTE: the pianos are a little on the bright side, the first piano is definetly not the best one. close [-]

Our Customers Say...

When it came time to start from scratch with the studio, I had a lot of questions. The Sales Engineers I've worked with are really friendly and patient, and the guidance they provided was invaluable; they basically helped build the studio.
