Alesis introduced the QS8 in 1996, and shattered the price barrier for professional 88-note keyboards. Normal working musicians Ö and those just aspiring to work more Ö could suddenly afford a no-compromise instrument for a very compromising price, and this tradition continues with the QS6.2 and QS8.2.

Review - Feature:
The lack of an on board sequencer will prevent it from getting a 10, but if your buying this synth, u know you arent getting a workstation. The expansion capability alone makes it worth at least an 8. 61 keys may not be enough, i wish they released a 76 key version of this synth.
Quality:
I havent gigged with it yet, but i plan to without a backup, i'm not worried about it, it seems sturdy.
Value:
For its money, i think its well worth it. You get what you pay for with synths, but i think you get alot more for your money with this one.
Desirability:
The only main drawback in my opinion is the appearance of it, its a little toyish looking to me, i guess the way the buttons are layed out. I also would have rather had it in black like the old QS models, but those are minor details.
Sound:
Outstanding sound quality for its price, i've played other synths in its price range, such as the Yamaha S03 and i think its the best sounding one.
Support:
I havent had to deal with them yet, so i'll give an honest 7 for now.
Overall:
I hope to have this keyboard for a long time, even as a second if i move on to something bigger. I play progressive rock (ala dream theater and symphony X) and it seems very capable of that. The 61 keys are the only significant weakness, 76 would have been perfect.
