Felix_dup1 Posted March 16, 2002 Share Posted March 16, 2002 I tried searching for the thread that mentioned it, but to no avail. My question is: What are the features that the QS8.1 has that the QS8.2 will not? I remember that it has only one card slot instead of two, and no digital outs... but there was more. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magpel Posted March 16, 2002 Share Posted March 16, 2002 Aftertouch, I think. Dave will verify when he returns. Why would anyone subtract aftertouch? I'm not sure I could live without it. Check out the Sweet Clementines CD at bandcamp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bucktunes Posted March 16, 2002 Share Posted March 16, 2002 Meanwhile, the catalogs are selling QS8.1's for $999. IIRC, that's also the MAP for the QS8.2's. So for the same money you can get the 8.1 and add extra outputs, more expansion capability, and aftertouch. Kind of a no-brainer, IMO. But hey, the QS8.2 has silver paint! Maybe Alesis should re-badge it as the QS7.8! Peace all, Steve ><> Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, just aftertouch, the slots, and the digital IO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would anyone subtract aftertouch?Only one reason, John...$$$. Originally posted by Bucktunes: But hey, the QS8.2 has silver paint! Maybe Alesis should re-badge it as the QS7.8! I made the same joke at the Messe, except I called it the QS7.9. MIA - second card slot, second footpedal input, digital out, aux audio outs, serial port and, yes, aftertouch. Also, it has a cheaper keybed that doesn't feel as good as the earlier models. Why anyone would buy one when used QS8s and QS8.1s will almost certainly be available for cheaper (with the exact same sound set and MORE features) is beyond me...oh, yeah - and then there's the Yamaha S08 for the same price with more features...and resonance filtering... dB ==> David Bryce Music • Funky Young Monks <== Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
