  The QS7 is undoubtedly a powerful and flexible synthesizer capable of
creating rich sounds - both acoustic and electronic.
There's 64 voices of polyphony and 16 parts multitimbrality and tons of memory and expand-ability!
The QS7 uses digital additive/subtractive sample
playback synthesis to create high quality stereo grand pianos, organs,
strings, drums/percussion, brass, woodwinds, new and classic synth
textures, General MIDI, and rhythmic/sonic loops. Most of them sound
pretty darn great too!

 As a master synth, the QS excels in it's price range, except for that
tiny LCD display which makes navigating through the pages and pages of
program settings pretty tedious. The QS7 implements the powerful QS
Modulation Matrix, allowing users to assign virtually any controller
source to any modulation parameter. There's an onboard multi-effects
processor (based on the QuadraVerb 2) with four totally discrete effects
busses that include reverb, delay, rotary speaker simulation,
distortion, chorus and much more. With a direct Mac or PC hook-up,
loading patches and editing via software is a snap! QS synths shipped
with Alesis' Sound Bridge software for Mac/PC which lets you write AIFF
and WAV samples, Standard MIDI Files and Program data to PCMCIA Flash or
SRAM cards. It can play Standard MIDI file sequences from the expansion
cards without the use of an external sequencer. For a Studio-quality
synthesizer that isn't focused just on dance or trance,
be sure to consider the QS7.

 The QS8 is a full 88-note keyboard version with
weighted hammer-action keys for players who need that realistic piano
feel when they play. The QSR is identical to the
QS7 and QS8, except that it is a keyboard-less rackmount version. 1999
saw the release of the updated QS7.1 which was
a vast improvement over this original.
