And it seems the 76 weighted action is an extinct beast except for some master controller manufacturers, but as you said it's better to have it under one...
Hey All... Just a follow-up to my original post. I guess the answer to the key replacement question for my two QS6.1's and my QS7.1 was to buy a dead QS7...
Does anyone have any insight into why my 6.1 occasionally goes out of tune — sometimes after its been powered up, sometimes while I'm playing. Resetting...
You need to buy new strings.... kidding. It could be a damaged sping pitch wheel, try moving it slightly while holding a note to see if there is a noticeable...
you mean, new "springs" ... De: David C. <mantarkus@...> Assunto: [1alesis_qs_series] Re: Out of tune 6.1 Para: 1alesis_qs_series@yahoogroups.com Data:...
I replaced the strings back in 2002 when my G string was stretched beyond belief. It helped but it was never the same afterward. I'll check the pitch wheel...
No, I ment strings, like in a guitar. When they use very old strings they sound very bad and out of tune so they say, im not a guitarrist :-P David C. ... ...
... ...reminds me of some BBW sites I've seen... Seriously, though: Be sure to see the Unofficial Repair Guide in the Files section of this group. It...
Exactly, and the QS wheels have a very high resolution and there isn't a very large dead center in the pitch wheel. Just recently I had to re-adjust the pitch...
... My original QS8 has begun starting up nearly a half-step flat. Sometimes after a good long warm-up it finds the correct pitch. Last time I used it it never...
Hi Bobby, Sounds like the controller has gone bad. rendering it useless as you put it. This is assuming you have isolated it so no other equipment could be...
Who remebers the QS Plus? I have my QS+Piano for sale. No issues. I'm the original owner for 15yrs. and it has been a perfect unit. With in house use only...
Hooking up another controller downstream would do it (I think.) As long as the other unit's pitchbend controller #s match and the QS is set to send out sysex...
Hey Bobby Have you tried reseting the unit? also, try recording to a midi sequencer without playing any keys, it should appear as pitch bend data. This will...
Not yet, will do so tonight. Refresh my memory with the button combination, so I don't have to look around for the manual. Thanks! ... Bobby Simons ...
You have dynamic RAMs? :) Sorry... here's how: Power off unit. Hold down the 0 (zero) and 3 buttons while powering on. BTW, you could just type the word...
IIRC, it's something like this: Turn "run" switch to "off". Wait until motor stops and unit is silent. Hold "start" switch in "on" position for approximately...
Thanks to all for your suggestions. OK. . . First I tried the system reset. It did not work, as I suspected. Pitch still lazily floats around - sometimes in...
Good troubleshooting Bobby! It definitely sounds like the pitch bend pot is noisy. It may be dirty or it may be worn out. To clean it get some Radio Shack...
Hey guys hope you can visit my personal myspace and check out my demos. They are all done using plugins as i mentioned before, no QS7. Creative coments...
UPDATE... I've been invited to play in a Symphony X tribute, so far my QS7 in MIX mode has been enough to work all the songs. Setting all the mixes in order as...
Funny you ask, I just picked up some electronics cleaner, I'm going to spray it up tonight if I can get to it. ... Bobby Simons boo@... IM: patentdraw ...
... Well, I finally cracked open my QS8 last night (for the first time), blasted the sh*t out of the pitch wheel potentiometer and surroundings with...
Hey David, I've recently acquired two amazing copper and brass sculptures from a countryman of yours, Sergio Bustamante. Do you happen to know of him?...
That's great, good thing you didn't have to take it to a tech. I haven't had the oportunity to open a QS8 yet but I imagine it can't be much different from a...
Oh yeah, his work is very popular around here although some people don't know who he is. He has a gallery in my same city. + Glad to know you liked his work. ...
