In Reply to: loading sounds into Quadrasynth - any advice or help??? posted by Simon on December 10, 1999 at 04:05:16:
: Hi,
: I'm finally sequencing using a PC now instead of my old Atari. I own an old quadrasynth, have never taken the time to load new sounds.
: I remember that for the Korg M1 there was an editor that allowed you to select a sound on the computer, the data was transferred to the synth and you could store it directly if you wanted.
: As I don't want to particularly buy a sound card, which I would have to , as I understand from this site, to use sysex files, I was wondering if anyone knows of a similiar program for the PC? Or would someone have some advice for me? I really like my Alesis and I want to keep it...
: Thanks in advance...

Are you playing the sequences from your computer on your Quad?
If so, you already have all the connections you need to load sysex data.
If not, you're missing a big part of the power of computer sequencing,
and for the $25 it would take to get a cheap, no-name sound card, and the $25 to get a cable,
you can get a whole new world of fun, plus the ability to load Quad voices with sysex.
Considering how expensive everything ESLE in in this hobby, this isn't bad :o)
