1.00 General Descriptions
The QS series of 64 voice, keyboard and rack mount digital synthesizers represent the current state of the art in high end digital synthesizers. It is certainly recommended that technicians be thoroughly familiar with the operation of the units according to the Users Reference Manuals before attempting any repair. As is often the case when machines present the user with so many options, many repairs can be made simply through education in the correct way to use the product. The software histories in Appendix B of this manual may also prove to be an excellent aid in troubleshooting User difficulties. Several of these units utilize the same PCBs. For example, the QS7 and QS8 have identical main PCBs, and all three keyboards (QS6, QS7, and QS8) use the same keypad PCB. However, some PCBs may be different between individual units while performing similar functions. In order to minimize confusion between reference designators for the different unit types, the following conventions will be used throughout this manual: QS6 Reference Designators are BOLD (e.g. R6, C9) QS7 Reference Designators are Italicized (e.g. R6, C9) QS8 Reference Designators are Underlined (e.g. R6, C9) QSR Reference Designators are Plain (e.g. R6, C9) Combinations are allowed (i.e. Italicized and underlined indicate both QS7 and QS8 references) (e.g. R6, C9)

1.10 QS6 With the release of the original S5 (later updated to S5+ A.K.A. S9) QuadraSynth keyboard and the S4 (later S4+ or S8), Alesis jumped to the forefront of a field in which it had no previous experience. Since then, we have learned a great deal about the construction of keyboards, as well as the needs of keyboard players in general. This inevitably led to the release of the QS6. Smaller, lighter, and with improved sound quality, the QS6 was an instant success. Still minor improvements have been made through the lifetime of this which have resulted in several main PCB revisions. Each revision incorporates previous changes as well as any new improvements made. These changes are outlined in Appendix A. This manual references the following schematics and component I.D.s unless otherwise noted: PCB Main Slider Keypad Schematic Revision S6 B S6 B QS6/7/8 C
Refer to Figure 1 for a simplified view of the QS6s electronic systems.
Figure 1 - QS6 Simplified Block Diagram
1.20 QS7 The QS7 further expanded and improved the system used in the QS6. The larger QS7 is heavier and therefore less portable, but its expanded keyboard enhances its use as a master keyboard controller for the studio. Refer to Figure 2 for a simplified view of the QS7s electronic systems. Note that the QS7 is electrically similar to the QS8 (same Main and Xformer PCBs) and only vary in the number of keys used.

1.30 QS8 In listening to the needs of keyboard players around the world, what came up consistently was our need to improve the keys themselves. While the weighted keys of previous units would suffice for most purposes, many high end players still preferred the feel of real piano keys. In answer to this need, Alesis designed the QSkey, piano weighted keyboard. The keys were specifically designed to simulate the same feel that acoustic piano keys have when the hammer strikes the piano strings. Incorporating the same basic sound engine as its predecessors, the QS8 is sure to rank highly among players and composers alike. (Minor improvements have be made through the lifetime of this product. This has resulted in several main PCB revisions. Each revision incorporates previous changes as well as any new improvements made. These changes are outlined in Appendix A. This manual references the following schematics and component I.D.s unless otherwise noted: Refer to Figure 2 for a simplified view of the QS8s electronic systems.)

1.40 QSR Many current keyboard players already have their favorite controller keyboard, but still desire the great sound provided by the Alesis QS Series. Since multiple keyboards can take up excessive space, the obvious solution is a rack mount sound engine without keys. The QSR is just that solution. Whether used for the road or in the studio, the QSR is a powerful addition to any MIDI setup. Minor improvements have been made through the pre production lifetime of this product. This has resulted in several main PCB revisions. Each one incorporates previous changes as well as any new improvements made. These changes are outlined in Appendix A. This manual references the following schematics and component I.D.s unless otherwise noted: PCB Main Front Panel Schematic Revision A X2

2.31B The GAL and Memory Mapped I/O
While the H8 has been optimized as a controller device, it is none the less somewhat limited in the number of direct input and output lines available. Memory mapping is the simplest method of allowing software designers the ability to manipulate the large number of hardware registers directly from the microprocessor with a minimum of external hardware. The idea is to fool the microprocessor into thinking that hardware register locations (latches) are actually memory locations. The process begins when the H8 sets up the address buss. The GAL (U12 U13 U9) checks this address to see if it is in the range of hardware registers. If the H8 address is within the confines of normal memory, the RAM or ROM signal is asserted and memory is accessed normally. However if the address is in the hardware range, the GAL decodes the address and strobes the chip select line of the appropriate device. Each device must interpret the state of the microprocessor ReaD and WRite lines and send or receive data appropriately. It is left up to the software to know which devices are written to as opposed to read from.
2.31C Other Processor I/O
All other outside world communication of the processor not handled via memory mapped I/O (See Previous Section) is sent and received via the H8s built in I/O ports. These are automatically configured by the software at power up. These lines all have internal pullup resistors. These outside world devices include pedals, front panel key switches. and pitch, mod, and data wheel inputs.

2.31D MIDI

MIDI input is opto isolated (U4 U7 U14) from the MIDI Input Jack (J7 J12 J8). R2 R35 R49 current limits the incoming signal while D3 D7 D6 serves to protect the opto isolator from reverse bias currents. R42 R40 R51 serves to set the internal threshold level of the opto isolator while R22 R41 R50 augments the internal pullup of the H8s input port. MIDI output is initiated from the H8s output port. Two elements of a Schmidt Trigger inverter (U7C and U7D U9B and U9E U19E and U19B) are used to buffer the outgoing signal. This signal is current limited (R1 R45 R53) before being sent to the MIDI Output Jack (J8 J13 J9). In addition, the QS7, QS8, and QSR incorporate a similarly designed MIDI THRU (U9A and U9F U19C and U19D, R45 R55, J14 J10).
For further information about MIDI, consult MIDI SPEC available from the International MIDI Association.

2.31E PC Serial Connector
While technically a part of standard H8 I/O, Computer Serial I/O is complex enough to warrant its own section (See Section 2.50). 2.32 The SG ASIC In order for the unit to play a sound sample, the H8 P (See Section 2.31B) must receive a command via the keyboard (via the Keyscan ASIC) or through MIDI. The Microprocessor then tells the SG ASIC three things: 1. The note value (e.g., C3, D#4, A6,.). 2. The velocity of the note value. 3. The type of sound to be played (dependent on PROGRAM, MIX, MIDI Channel, etc.). The SG ASIC then retrieves the correct 16-bit sound information from the SOUND ROM according to the instructions sent by the H8. In addition, the SG ASIC performs the duties necessary to create the envelope of the voice (e.g., Attack, Decay, Sustain and Release) as well as other audio functions such as changing filters. SG ASIC instructions are passed to it by the H8 P through memory mapped I/O (See Section 2.31B). There is one clock signal for the SG ASIC. It is received at pin 19. The clock is generated from crystal M2 via U18A. The clock signal is also frequency halved , and output via pin 12. This 12.288MHz clock is used in the QS6 by the 74HC390 (U17) {to derive other system clock signals (1MHz, 614.4MHz)}. System signals in the QS7, QS8 and QSR are derived slightly differently providing for better software control (See Section 2.54). Note also that the QS7, QS8 and QSR all utilize a digital VCO (U11 U7) to provide extremely stable clocks to the sound generation system. The SG ASIC can send sound information to the FX ASIC by two possible ways. The first is the 8 bit data buss. The second is via optical information from EOPTOUT (pin 3), to the FX ASIC. Currently, the optical buss is used for all communication.

2.32A Sound Generation

Sound is generated with the use of Sample ROM playback. The playback is accomplished by the SG ASIC while the sounds themselves are contained either in the MASK ROMs (2 Megabytes each) or in a PCMCIA CARD attached to the system. As far as sound generation is concerned, the only distinguishable difference between the two is their relative location in the SG ASICs memory map, and as such will be referred to simply as Sound ROM. Besides actual sonic data, Sound ROM also contains data about the samples Start, End, and Loop points, start and end volumes, sample rate, and data smoothing coefficients. When the H8 receives a command to play a sample (keyboard, MIDI, or PC Serial) it notifies the SG ASIC what note value and velocity have been requested. The SG ASIC then retrieves data for 2 samples. The first sample is the requested sample. The second is the sample at the next higher address. This is necessary because current technology does not allow for a sample to be taken at possible note value (the amount of necessary memory jumps prohibitively when this is attempted). Instead, a number of key samples are provided and the SG ASICs DSP is called upon to interpolate for the correct note pitch value. The notes that each individual sample is responsible for is called a Keygroup. Note that the pitch interpolation also takes into account any variations in pitch that may occur due to modulation (i.e. pitch wheel or LFO Modulation).

3.13 Differences In QSR Self Tests Because it is a rack mount unit and its buttons are different from the keyboard versions, the self test routines for the QSR are slightly different. The manual self test (there is no automated version) is initiated by holding MIDI CH and. Use Cursor or to select the test to run. Pressing STORE initiates the test. Pressing either cursor button exits the test. Note that pressing Cursor and shows the current software version, but only if the unit is in MIX or PROGRAM Play modes (i.e. the unit is not in EDIT or SELF TEST). The tests are: 0. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Test EPROM - Same as the keyboard test. Test SRAM - Same as the keyboard test. Test MIDI I/O - Same as the keyboard test. Test PC I/O - Same as the keyboard test. Test F/X DRAM - Same as the keyboard test. Test Sound ROM - Same as the keyboard test. Test Switches - Same as the keyboard test. Test Encoder/LED - Once initiated, front panel LEDs (under the buttons) will cycle according to the direction the data wheel is turned. Press STORE to exit this test. 8. Test Display - This test simply turns on all of the display elements in the LCD. 9. Test Audio - This test simply sends audio through all outputs. This is extremely useful when troubleshooting analog circuit problems.
3.20 Further Testing Naturally it is a good idea to actually play the keyboard. Be sure to check that pitch and velocity scaling sound normal. Its also important to check the Aftertouch to ensure its function. Note that in the QS8 it is important to check the Aftertouch of white and black keys separately as each of these key sets has its own Aftertouch cable. While the self test will pick up most circuit errors, MIDI should still be tested in both send and receive. This can be done 3 ways: Record and playback from a MIDI Sequencer Save and load Sys-ex data from a MIDI Librarian or DataDisk. Use a second keyboard to send trigger notes to the unit under test. Also test that key presses from the unit under test trigger notes on the other keyboard or an extra module. If at all possible, the PC/MAC Serial connector should be tested similarly, as well as all other I/O type circuitry such as 48KHz, PCMCIA, and optical (with the use of an ADAT Multitrack). 3.21 Testing 48KHz Obtain an ADAT-XT or a classic ADAT and a BRC. Connect the sync cable from the ADAT to the BRC. Connect a BNC cable from the BRC's 48K OUT to the QS's 48K IN. Connect a fiber optic cable from the QS's OPTICAL OUT to the ADAT's OPTICAL IN. Finally connect the ADAT's analog outputs 1 and 2 to an amplifier and speakers or headphones as shown in Figure 8. Make sure the BRC syncs to the ADAT. Press the DIG IN and ALL INPUT MONITOR on the ADAT-XT or BRC. Turn on the QS under test's 48K IN ON (under Global button). Change the Pitch control on the ADAT-XT or BRC from 000 to -300. Play the QS and

6.25 Changes To QS7/QS8 VCO Circuit (All Main PCB Revisions) It was found that the Digital VCO could lock up if a slight negative voltage was present on the +5V line prior to power up. While this sounds unusual, it happens! Unfortunately, it wasnt our first guess. Originally it was thought that reducing the amount of negative voltage at the control voltage input was enough. This was done by soldering a 120K bleeder resistor in parallel with C43. While this seemed to be the fix for a while, it ultimately failed to fix all keyboards, and a further investigation was conducted. All units exhibiting this fault should be checked that they not only have the smaller supply capacitor, but this resistor has not been installed previously. If it found, it should be removed. The drain on the +5V rail is sufficient to lower the charge across raw supply filter capacitor very rapidly, but the -5V rail powers very few components, and consequently, the its raw supply filter capacitor holds a significant charge. Once the +5V supply is fully discharged the conditions are perfect for the negative rail to leak to the positive rail via all of the devices common to both rails. Eventually this charge will leak to ground too, and if power is cycled quickly it can be significant enough to stop the VCO. The solution is to reduce the size of the negative raw supply filter capacitor from 2200F to 1000F, hence reducing the amount of charge it can retain on power down. 6.30 QSR There are currently no changes this product.

REPAIR A BROKEN PITCH BEND WHEEL
So youve been using your pitch bend wheel for vibrato too much and now it doesnt return to its center position? Here is a quick fix. Before I go into these instructions I must inform you that I am not an authorized tech so take all your precautions before you attempt this repair. Tools required: Wire cutter Big safety pin Screw driver Slotted or Phillips What size the safety pin should you use? Very large safety pins will have more resistance and it will return to its center position faster, I suggest avoiding small types. This is the size I used this time.
I guess I should explain how to open a QS synth before i continue. No biggy actually, no pics necessary. You need to remove 5 screws from the back and 4 (one in each corner) from the bottom side, there are a few more lined up but dont touch these as they are holding the keybed. Make sure to put the screws in a safe place, they are all the same size so dont worry about mixing them up. Now once youve removed these last 4 screws very carefully turn over the keyboard. Now this is the tricky part, (the keys should be are facing towards you) grab the side panels and lift the whole front panel until you feel a bump, now pull towards you and you should see the front metal lip that holds the panel with the bottom, once it has cleared the keys you can move the whole panel away from you like a car hood, but not too far, be careful with the cables running from under the front panel to the motherboard.
Now you should see something like this.
This is what we are looking for (the wheels), there are 3 screws, you only need to remove the left one which is the one holding the pitchbend wheel.
Once you removed it you need to separate the rubber wheel from the pot, just carefully pull it away and again careful with the wires. You should see the broken spring, remove it and keep the rubber sleeves. The safety pin loop should be wide enough to fit over the pot, you can use a screw driver for this.
Make sure the pin is NOT wide open, avoid anything like this:
This is the way to go, it should be as close as possible:
If you prefer you can use something like a criss-cross:
Now, how long should the spring wires be? Use the original to measure or place back the rubber wheel and see:
Now mark the size or cut it as needed. Make sure to insert the little rubber sleeves. Try out the wheel and make sure it centers correctly, if it doesnt, remove the spring and close it a bit more or you might need a larger safety pin. Now make sure all wires are connected and nothing looks loose, and dont forget anything inside. Replace all screws (I wrap them with teflon tape to tighten them up as they become loose from time to time) and you are done. Hope this helps, any comments or questions are welcome. The images are a little fuzzy because I never photographed small objects but i guess they serve their purpose.

AUDIO OUT NOISE REPAIR SYMPTOM
Low signal level, noisy or humming main audio outputs. Both or only one (left or right) can be affected. Phone output working fine.
CAUSE Malfunctioning FET transistor in the mute circuit. These transistors (one for each output) are responsible for muting the sound during power on transition thus avoiding short high level transients that could damage follow on equipment, e.g., mixer, signal processor or amp.

SOLUTION Transistor replacement: 1) Go to the closest electronic components shop and buy one FET model J111 for each bad output. If left and right are damaged you will need two transistors. 2) To open the unit remove the two screws that are close to each side and the other four in the back panel. Lift the front panel with sides carefully, some wires are short and can be broken. Note: take care not to remove the screws that fix the keybed, keybed will not be removed.
3) With the QS open it is easy to find the power supply board and lying by its side, the main board, with the audio output connectors. It is not necessary to remove this board; the repair can be done from over the board.
4) Notice that behind the right channel connector you will find the two J111 right one for the right channel and left one for left channel. Remove the dead one or both if you have both outputs with problem.
5) With the solder iron, replace the transistor with the new one.
6) Close the unit, replace the screws, turn on the synth and check if you can hear its sound loud and clear. Now enjoy your QS again!

REPAIR A BROKEN KEY 4.00 TROUBLESHOOTING AND REPAIR
With the release of the original QuadraSynth keyboard, Alesis engineers and technicians began a heavy learning curve into what works and what doesnt in keyboard design. Because of this experience, its descendants are not only extremely stable designs but also very easy to troubleshoot and repair. Once the keyboard clamshell is open, the technician has instant access to all of the units essential components. The QSR of course uses all of the experience Alesis has gained over the years in making quality rack mount cases.
4.10 QS6/QS7/QS8 DISASSEMBLY/REASSEMBLY
All of the keyboards use the same clamshell type of casetop. The top and sides are one piece and are removed together. Figure 9 shows the only way to correctly remove the top panel. It should be noted here that extreme caution is required when opening and closing the unit due to the delicate nature of the aftertouch cable(s). Damaging these cables might easily result in having to change the entire keyboard, which can be expensive and time consuming. Figure 10 shows the casetop and keyboard screw locations for the QS6. Figure 11 does the same for the QS7 and QS8 (while the QS8 is physically larger, it has the same screw footprint as the QS7).
FIGURE 9 - KEYBOARD CASETOP REMOVAL
FIGURE 10 - S6 CASE SCREW LOCATIONS
FIGURE 11 - QS7QS8 CASE SCREW LOCATIONS
4.40 REPLACING INDIVIDUAL KEYS
Broken keys are an unfortunate consequence of the tough life that most professional keyboards are required to undergo. So easy key replacement was a design requirement. Figures 13 and 14 show the location of the key clip. A flat blade screwdriver inserted into the slot in the key and then rotated will release the key. Note that it may be necessary to loosen (but not necessarily remove) the keyboard assembly from the case bottom.

4.51 REPLACING QS6 AND QS7 KEYS
FIGURE 13 - QS6 KEY RELEASE LOCATION
Figure 13 shows the location of the spring which must be removed before removing the key itself. It also shows the location of the key clip release catch. Insert a flat blade screwdriver into the slot. While turning the screwdriver to release the catch, lift carefully at the rear of the key. DO NOT force the key off or its possible to break the key clip itself, and ruining the entire keyboard. Once the back end on the key is loose, slide it towards the front on the keyboard (range of motion stops are built into the key and encircle part of the frame). Putting the new key in is essentially the reverse process with one small exception. Instead of using a screwdriver when putting the rear end of the key back, just push the rear end of the key down until it snaps into place.

2.34 THE KEYSCAN ASIC

While the task of polling the keyboard may seem difficult at first (up to 88 Keys with velocity), the Keyscan ASIC takes care of this task and passes the information back to the H8 processor. The main signals of the Keyscan ASIC are: DD0-DD7 A0 RD WR KEY KEYINT KEYCLK ROW0-7 COL0-21 VSS1-4 VDD1-4 Data Buss bits 0 to 7. Correspond to the upper 8 data bits of the H8. H8 Address Buss bit 0 H8 ReaD enable H8 WRite enable Chip select line from GAL (Mapped I/O) Output to H8 interrupt line Clock input from H8 Row input from keyboard switch matrix Column input from keyboard switch matrix Source Supply (GND) Drain Supply (+5V)

2.34A READING VELOCITY

Velocity response is measured through the time differential between two switch closures and works like this:
FIGURE 4 - KEYBOARD VELOCITY REPONSE
The harder a key is pressed, the faster it moves.
Since Rate = Distance/Time knowing the time it takes to move the key through a specific distance tells us how fast its moving and thus the force acting on it. This is accomplished by using 2 switch contacts mounted at different distances from each other. The rubber in the keypad acts as a spring, both absorbing the compression of switch 1, as well as pushing the carbon contacts away from the PCB contact points when the key is release. The Keyscan ASIC counts up the time it takes between switch 1 closing and switch 2 closing. Since distance (between the switches) is preset in the design, time difference is taken as a direct measure of velocity.
