"I've tried the Alesis QS 6.1 and 8.2. They were not very good sounding synths - I've been trying to help a freind sell his QS 6.1 with two of the so-called "dance cards" installed for $300 for two years with no takers (you want it?). I also remember the Alesis Nanopiano... that didn't last long either and it sure wasn't popular. I didn't just suddenly decide to not like Alesis - they earned their reputation for less-than-stellar synths all on their own."

Go play an Alesis Ion/Micron/Andromeda....
