CHAPTER 9

MIDI TRANSFER AND STORAGE OPERATIONS

Saving the User Bank to an External Card

The entire contents of the QuadraSynth Plus’s User memory (100 Mixes, 128 Programs, 128 Effects Patches) can be stored to an Alesis QuadraCard RAM card inserted into the Sound Card slot on the QuadraSynth Plus. Depending on the amount of RAM a particular card has, up to 8 complete banks can be stored onto it. The QuadraCard is a type of PCMCIA SRAM or FlashRAM card; it has 256K of memory and will store 4 complete banks. A 512K PCMCIA card can store 8 banks. When saving data to a card that contains a ROM (READ-ONLY) bank, it will be in bank 1; this means you cannot save anything into bank 1.

¿Insert a card into the Sound Card slot on the back of the QuadraSynth

Plus.

¡Press [STORE].

¬Use either PAGE [♦] or [∅] to select Page 6 of the Store function. This selects the “SAVE TO CARD” option.

Use Quad Knob [1] to select a bank location on the card to store to (1–8). If the card contains a ROM bank, it will be bank 1. Therefore, you will only be able to save into bank locations 2–8.

ƒPress [STORE] to transfer the data from the QuadraSynth Plus onto the

card.

If the display reads "CARD IS WRITE PROTECTED", switch the write-protect switch on the card to off and repeat the procedure.

Loading a Bank from an External Card

¿Insert the card into the card slot on the back panel.

¡Press [STORE].

¬Use either PAGE [♦] or [∅] to select Page 7 of the Store function. This selects the “LOAD FROM CARD” option.

Use Quad Knob [1] to select the bank on the card you wish to load (1–8).

ƒPress [STORE] to transfer the data from the card into the QuadraSynth

Plus.
