I had that keyboard! I actually really like the piano-ish touch. I remember being sad though, when I realized they’d crammed all the sounds into I think 16MB (or was it 8?) and realizing how bad that was even by the late 90s! I think I still have mine in the garage somewhere… good times!

I loved mine. Had it since the 90s, working perfectly.

One day a few years ago my dad came by and was admiring it (it was a QS8) and asked to borrow it so he could play piano again.

I, of course, said sure, but was feeling a little salty about it inside, because I wanted it to play, that's why I had it all set up.

Anyway, about a year went by and I asked him about it to see if he was done with it.

He said "oh that thing? I gave that away, was just taking up space"

You mean bad because they could have used a larger memory module and thus higher resolution sound samples?
