I'd fully expect this hack to work just the same on the QS7 and QS8, but not on the QSR (because it's a much smaller chassis) or the QS6.1, QS7.1, QS8.1, QS6.2, QS7.2 or QS8.2 because they already have internal power supplies. What synths are we talking about here?Īll of my work has been done on my QS6. But still, seriously, take care, and don't come running to me saying that you've burned your arm off. I think of it like fire - obviously it's dangerous, but properly controlled then it's quite safe. But if you know what you're doing, and you're confident, then they can be quite safe. And I should point out that obviously mains voltages are a bad thing, and if you prat around with them then you'll die.
#Alesis qs6 power supply mod#
If you don't feel confident doing that then this probably isn't the mod for you. It's not very technical, but you will need to do some metalwork (which takes time and patience) and some small bits of soldering and mains wiring.
#Alesis qs6 power supply how to#
So natural events took their course, and here I am writing a page on how to get an internal QS6 power supply. I should point out that it's actually quite a physically rugged power supply (the one that originally came with my Korg X5 was rubbish!) but wouldn't it be nice if you could have an internal power supply? Well, I noticed that the QS6.1 had an internal power supply and that doesn't look too different from the QS6, and that got me thinking: I wonder if there's space inside the QS6 for the power supply? It's a "floor slug" type thing with a mains lead coming out of one side, and a low voltage cable coming out the other. One of the niggles I have about the QS6 is the external power supply. You may also like to read how I use cheap memory cards, and use cards greater than 8Mb. This page is about modifying my Alesis QS6 so that it has an internal power supply. That means I whenever I get a new synth to play with, I take it to bits and see if I can make it work better. Hi! I'm Ben Weaver, and I'm an electronics engineer.
