: I bought the Pretec's 8MB card for $89. I have a QSR and it works fine.
: If you live in America and you want to buy you can order from Pretec. But if you live in other country you must order from these two companies that sells Pretec's products:
: 1) www.Alix.com
: 2) www.timasci.com.
(i have two 8MB flash cards. One from each site. They both sell for $89 the 8MB card)
: The type that work with Alesis synths is:
: FAD008-P 8MB 5v/5v Flash Card OR
: FAD004-P 4MB 5v/5v Flash Card
: But if you want to know there is a speed problem that don't let as enjoy the sampling experience.
: With MIDI IN/OUT interface you need 70 min! to load an 8MB flash card.
: With the serial cable you need about 30 min. Much better but not as a sampler.
: But if you really need some new sounds, FX, loops etc the sampling option is very useful because you don't have to buy a sampler full of memory.
: There are thousands of free samples in internet to download.
