Alesis QS6.2 tuning issues

[Debasahh]

i got myself an alesis QS6.2 years ago, i believe its the newest of the quadrasynth line. decent for key sounds and the odd pad, but way more comprable to stage piano than a legit synth.

anyways the thing is out of tune by like a quarterstep, ive scoured the manual and i am 99% there is not anything in there mentioning fine tuning, only halfsteps. i feel like there has to be a way to fix this, maybe with the pitchwheel, but i am not sure.

if anyone has experience with this issue, i could definitely use some advice before i sell this thing!

Programming from the buttons is a real pain. Get a software editor and dig into what these boards can do!
Yeah, real knobs would be nice, but you can still get analog-style richness - with work.

PS. Don't be surprised in one of the Moderators moves this post to the "HELP" section.

PPS. Were you using MIDI? Something may have sent a pitch-bend signal to the QS. You might need to do a reset.

The QS went to an 8.2 version I believe. I have the 7.1. I'm glad I read this thread, as I had completely forgotten that it had a serial port. That just might make me go get an adapter and try editing something on this synth.

thank you for the reply! and mods feel free to move this to wherever it applys. this is my first post on here so i am a bit unsure of the rules

anyways the master pitch on the QS is set at 00, so is the fine tune. how would i go about a global reset?

i like this synth but not being able to tune it really bugs me when i use it with other musicians.

and i would check out the software editing if a PCMCIA card wasnt so expensive. if i cant get this issue settled im probably going to sell this and pick up a waldorf blofeld.

Would a PC card adapter work? About $15 on ebay. Then you can use SD cards. I do that on my V Synth.

"...how do I do a reset?"

Make sure the mod wheel in fully down and the pitch bend wheel in centered - I know it's spring-loaded, but it can stick.

With power OFF, hold down buttons "0" and "3" while powering ON.
