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.
ƒ Press [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).
ƒ Press [STORE] to transfer the data from the card into the QuadraSynth
Plus.
