Alesis QSR Synth Module

The QSR puts the excellent sounds and powerful synthesis engine from our advanced QS7 and QS8 keyboards into a single-space, rack-mount module. The QSR's gigantic collection of exciting sounds —16 megabytes of sound ROM — includes 640 programs and 500 multi-timbral mixes. This sonic library includes our acclaimed phase-accurate stereo grand piano program.

A selection of alternate acoustic and electric pianos, organs, cutting-edge and vintage/retro synth lead and pad sounds (including exclusive waveforms from Keith Emerson's personal synths and organs), strings, brass, winds, guitars, drums, percussion, rhythmic/sonic loops, and much more are all represented.

The QSR's 64-voice polyphony allows you to create complex sequences and rich, stacked chords and layers, and its 2 PCMCIA-format ports can be used simultaneously as a 16MB expansion, doubling the QSR's total sound ROM to a massive 32 megabytes. And since the QSR is Sound Bridge compatible, you can import your own samples and play back up to 100 Standard MIDI File sequences from a sound card.

Four-bus Alesis multi-effects on the QSR include reverb, chorus, distortion, delay, EQ, rotary speaker simulation, and more. Like the QS7 and QS8, the QSR comes with a Mac/Windows-compatible CDROM full of popular music creation software as well as a super-fast serial data port and an ADAT Optical Digital output.
