Jim,
Dude, Welcome!
I think you'll do OK with the QS, and you'll find its a heck of a lot lighter than the Rhodes. If I'm not mistaken that old Rhodes of yours didn't come with a CD either. :-)
Really, you're all making too much of the CD thing. Either pay for an editor, or live with the sliders. I think you'll find programming the Alesis is a lot easier than the Roland D-10 (I'm guessing that's about as much fun as the U-20 I've got collecting dust.)
: I hesitated to post on here, after reading Tim, the 'irate' consumer's post... but I have a QS7.1 coming this week, and it will arrive without the CD rom as many people before me have complained. I hope I didn't make a mistake in getting this synth, I just liked the look/feel/sound of it. I've read thru many posts in here, and have seen a lot of helpful advice, and some scathing sarcasm. I have a 73 suitcase Rhodes, a Roland D-10 (dying or dead), and a Casio CZ-5000 (woohoo). Now, at 46, and in an aspiring (drinking) band, I wanted a decent synth,, is that so wrong? I promise to read my manual and check/recheck connections to/from PC.. but it's likely I will post many annoying newbie questions, and felt compelled to warn all of you in advance. I guess the Roland EV-5 is the pedal I need, so who's sending me the CD? Thanks in advance. P.S. I AM on a T3 connection, so a chubby zip file works for me as well.. :-)
