Critic Reviews

Alesis QS6.2 & QS8.2

soundonsound.com

The Alesis QS6.2 feels like a relic from the past, struggling to keep up with modern technology. While it boasts improved 24-bit converters and good-quality effects, its reliance on outdated PCMCIA technology for sample import and lack of USB or serial connectivity are glaring drawbacks. The synth architecture hasn't evolved, making it feel dated compared to competitors. With a high price tag and minimal updates from its predecessor, the QS6.2 offers a frustratingly nostalgic experience rather than an innovative one. It promises much but delivers little in the way of contemporary usability or value.
