How do I load samples into the QS?
To load samples, you will need a Flash card plugged in the QS’s PCMCIA
Expansion Slot, a computer with a MIDI port, and Sound Bridge
software (available free on the Alesis Website). Connect your computer’s
MIDI port to the QS as described in the MIDI portion of this manual
and consult the Sound Bridge online manual on how to burn samples
into your card.
Where can I get Q Cards?
You can find Q Cards at your local Alesis dealer (where you purchased
your QS, for example). In addition, they are available from several
nationwide mail-order and internet music equipment dealers.
Where can I get SRAM cards and Flash cards?
SRAM and Flash cards are available from computer stores, mail-order
houses, and on the Internet. Check the Alesis website for more
information.
Where can I get more Banks?
Additional Program/Mix Banks are available on the Alesis website free
of charge.
Are QS6.2/QS8.2 Programs compatible with
older QS programs?
Absolutely! You can use QS7, QS8, QS6.1, QS7.1, and QS8.1 programs
in your QS6.2 or QS8.2.
How do I change what the sliders do?
To change what the sliders do for a particular Program, go into Edit
mode by pressing the [EDIT] button. Select one of the active sounds by
pressing one of the [00] – [04] buttons. Next, find which Mod route is
currently assigned to the slider by pressing the [0] – [5] buttons. Once
you have found the slider (for example, [CNTRL A]), use the [PAGE]
buttons to get to the destination and level pages. There, you can modify
what the slider is modulating and how much. If you can’t find the slider,
then it’s not modulating anything in that Sound. In this case, you can re-
assign one of the Mod routes to the slider.
Where can I get more information on the QS?
There are QS users groups on the Internet with more information. In
addition, you can check out the Hal-Leonard book, “Alesis QS Made
Easy” by David Crawford.
