Hi everyone,

Great to see the healthy community here. I am a bit confused by some of the technical things but was just wondering..

I have been playing an Alesis QS8 for some years now, I have noticed recently however that sometimes when I play for no reason the pitch will get all weird and go up and down, and fiddling with the pitch wheel and then resetting it to center will solve it so I think I have a problem with that. Same thing goes for the mod wheel, it does vibrato when I don't want it to :(

And lately I have noticed that a number of keys on my keyboard, they seem to be random and not in any order (ex. some on the high end and some on the low end) make these annoying clicky noises when I play them when they're just supposed to make the usual kind of "thud".

Anyone experience these problems? I tried to contact Alesis and others, but no replies. Any help would be appreciated please in solving these and I hope I don't have to buy a new keyboard.

Thanks SO much and hope to hear from one or more of you soon!

Take care,


Michelle
