The '''Alesis QS8''' is the successor to the [[Alesis Quadrasynth Plus]] line-up, featuring a 16MB Wave ROM, new presets and mixes utilising the new wave data, and an additional [[Alesis PCMCIA]] expansion slot for a total of two.

			In all respects it has an identical feature set to the line-up it succeeds, with the same 64-voice polyphony, up to 4 voices per note, same effect configurations, same filters and modulation settings. The main difference lies in the exterior for the most part, being made into relatively more compact and less unique-looking keyboards, and ditching the prior detailed LCD for a far more common 2-row character display, which made editing much more difficult. While this would be fixed in the QSR and QSx.1/QSx.2 models, because of an entirely different display composition compared to the original, navigation is not as intuitive—available editing options that would have been highlighted or underscored for the selected editing page aren't present on this new display composition.

The '''Alesis QS8''' is the successor to the [[Alesis Quadrasynth Plus]] lineup, featuring a brand new 16MB waveform ROM, new presets and mixes, and an additional [[Alesis PCMCIA]] expansion slot.

== Effects ==
The effects are identical to those found on the [[Alesis Quadrasynth Plus]] - five algorithms in total, with the same drawbacks made to Configuration #1 and #3.

== Alesis QS7 ==
The '''Alesis QS7''' is identical to the '''QS8''', except the keyboard is smaller - at only 76 keys, an octave less, and the keybed is velocity and channel aftertouch sensitive, but with semi-weighted, synth-action type of keys instead of the hammer action found on the QS8. Its dimensions are (in width × height × depth, millimetres) 1124 × 83 × 279
