You also have the option of storing a Mix or Program directly to a specific location in
a RAM Sound Card Bank (instead of transferring the entire Bank) and vice versa.
However, the Sound Card you are storing to must be of the current QSR Bank
format. A Sound Card is formatted whenever an entire QSR Bank is stored onto it. If
you are using an older QuadraSynth Sound Card that does not use the current Bank
format, you will not be able to store individual Mixes or Programs onto it until you
store an entire QSR Bank onto it first.
➀
Insert a card into Sound Card slot A on the front of the QSR. Alesis recommends
that you use card slot A for all RAM card storage operations.
➁
Select the Program or Mix you wish to transfer to the card.
➂
Press [STORE].
➃
Press [

➄
Use the [VALUE] knob to select a bank location on the card to store to (1–11).
If the card contains a ROM bank, it will show as Bank 1 and you will be unable to store
to it.
➅
Press [CURSOR

➆
Use the [VALUE] knob to select a location in the selected card Bank to save to
(00–127 if storing a Program; 00–99 if storing a Mix).
➇
Press [STORE] to transfer the data from the QSR onto the card.
If the card is write-protected, or not inserted, or not of the current Bank format, the
display will indicate the situation with an error message. If the card is not of the
current Bank format, use the “Save To Card” command first (see previous page) to
save the entire User Bank to the card. This however will erase all Programs and
Mixes in the selected card Bank. If these are important to you, first load them into the
