• 0016 Etud Public Version - by ERN0 (Ernest Zalka)

• Buenos Dias - by Markus Eigner
  Instructions: Use User Mix 00 (Multitimbral) GM-Mode=OFF.
  Here is another old song of mine.
  I made it before I found out how to use controllers like modulation, expression, pan etc.,
  so it´s a very simple song, but nice background music for a slide show, so
  that´s why I called it "Buenos Dias" ("Dias"=german for "slides" :-)

• 0009 Etud Public Version - by ERN0 (Ernest Zalka)
  A happy one with silly drums.
  Most songs require no complex effects, just a simple reverb.
  Octaver(1/44) is a great program..
  

• 0012 Etud Public Version - by ERN0 (Ernest Zalka)
  A disonant song. Two things about:
  1. Listen to the Bass (chn #1)
  2. FX Config: Reverbs; how rich it is..
  

• 0013 Etud Public Version - by ERN0 (Ernest Zalka)
  Nothing special.
  Watch the chn #6 Xyl, this program contains two sounds.
  One has effect level, another one has not. Why?.
  

• 0015 Etud Public Version - by ERN0 (Ernest Zalka)
  Heavy drumz.
  I think the rich sound is based on rich drumz..
  

• Rock1 - by Michael Sims

  The author's comments:
  After mastering Cubase & the QS6 i am back again, i have developed my style to a little bit funky club music, the QS6 is not the best synth for this kind of music, but i would not trade it in for another.....
  I am waiting for the vintage card to appear in Holland, and the eprom upgrade also...
  Anyway here is a new song, this is the kind of music i like, imagine this one played by a TR909 and a JPad patch in Program mode (modified AIRPAD patch) this sequence is not finished, it has nearly started.... it is only for other QS owners to feel the Vibe you can create with a QS synth....
  Enjoy..................GrtZ.......... Da. J.
  (P.S. if ya like this kind of stuff, or want to give any comments, or want to modify it feel free, but give me also a copy of what you've done with it........> just for fun......!!!!!)

  The author's comments:
  It's my 7th work for the QS6. The full version is longer because of the vocal parts
  (I haven't finished yet, I have no idea for lyrics).
  My brother said that the drum-filling is not acceptable for most people (...-4-4-3!-4-4-... rhythm), but I left it in.

• Think Twice - arranged for the QS6 by Martin G C Davies
  Apart from being a great piece of music to start off with probablythe most notable bit is that there need be NO setting up of a QS6 to play it because it contains the appropriate sysex codes to turn gm mode off, switch to mix mode and setup all the other stuff needed (reverb etc.) for the song (unless someone tells me it doesn't work on their QS6!). This file is a backing track, with the sax lead (and a bit of backing sax). These tracks were just thrown in as a guide and should be turned off to get what I really worked at (the band I'm in has a dream of a female singer who makes this sound absolutely wonderful - even with my average backing vocals

• Karn Evil 9 1st Impression (Emerson Lake & Palmer) arranged - by Bob Forsyth
  I cannot take full credit for this..............it was originally a download from Gabor's prog-rock home page, and was a standard midi file. While this file was excellent to begin with, I felt that my Qs+ could do it more justice with a little tweaking here and there. The original file also had a few timing mistakes which I have done my best to correct. All credit must go to Gabor's home page and the person who originally did the work..................WELL DONE! I think you will all enjoy this one.............have fun shaking the house with it!!!

• Drifting (36kb) ( Our first MIDI file, from Sandy Dunn . )
  A Midi file for the Quadrasynth range of synthesisers - definitely not a GM Midi file. This is my first attempt at a Midi File for the QS - in fact my first ever published Midi File. I hope it inspires you to do better! Feel free to distribute it as you wish, but please distribute this text file with it. To play it, put your Quadrasynth in Mix Mode and then hit the play button on your favourite Midi player - the Midi File will fill your Edit buffers with the Mix and program details necessary to play this song, and will NOT overwrite your user bank, unless you choose to store the mix. I composed this on a Quadrasynth S4+, using a Korg 01w/ProX as the master keyboard, and Cubase Score v2.02 as the sequencer (on an IBM compatible 486 DX2-66). I trust the song will sound ok on the Quadrasynth Plus Piano, but cannot guarantee results on the original QS or S4 or on the QS6. Let me know what you find.Any feedback welcome.

  The author's comments :
  "The piece is titled "Filling the Void" and was written in it's first iteration for midi and wind instruments about a year after FZ died. This is the fifth iteration of the tune and has been tweezed as best I could for the Alesis GM setup. It is abstract but if you can get past that kind of thing its actually a solid work. When it's done live a real piano player and harp player play the parts. The GM piano sucks on the QS6 but the regular patches are much better. I have it setup for regular QS6 timbres but felt like GM made more sense for general download."
