about Alesis Qs8

[Sir Cenora]

hi..
im looking for a hammered action to play live with my prog band..
i understand a little bit of synthesis.. so i wont play only presets..
i know fantom x8 yamaha s90 or triton Xtreme would be good choices..
but here in brazil i would have to pay something like to 5000 dollars to purchase one of those.. import taxes sux very hard=P
i cant find any used XV-88 =//
so what do you guys have to say about Qs8?
acoustic sounds? leads? oscillators? easy to program?
thx for any information=)

It was a great board back in the mid-late 90's, but today it sounds fairly dated. If you're on a tight budget it would work though, as it has a pretty decent set of sounds.
