Perhaps you could use the keyboard as a modulation source for pitch and play with negative values. It probably wouldn't give you the exact tuning you're looking for.
: You could do it for individual patches using soundbridge and a RAM card, but it would be kind of a pain..
: : : Does anyone know if it is possible to reprogram the note assignments on a QS 8.1? I would like to create a reverse keyboard to effectively make mine a left-handers keyboard. Basically it would end up totally reversed, with middle C swapping places with middle E.
: : : I would think it is possible, much in the way you can reassign drum sounds and other effects but am not sure how to go about it. I tried emailing Alesis but received no response.
: : : There is a gentleman in Great Britain who has designed Keyboard Mirror midi module that is available for purchase but I do know that he initially reprogrammed one of his keyboards before designing the module. He has since had an actual left hand piano custom built.
: : : I am, of course, trying to save $115 and so am trying to figure out if the reprogramming is possible with the QS.
: : : Thanks for any input.
: : : Lonny B
: : I haven't seen, nor do I know of any utility for note re-mapping on the QS synths. I think yuu'd probably have to get into a much more expensive instrument before that capability were present.
