Well thanks Bob !!!, Your info will be quiet accurate if it was a Users Bank like you said, but the real problem is
that the QSPlus bank is on the ROM, and it is
one of the many differences between the Quadrasynth and the Quandrasynth PLUS. It includes all the great sounds
that made the QS Plus so magestic. Its like having an extra bank with a phase accurate piano and lots of
winds and Hammond's and then........Well.........EMPTY. I'll give it a try anyways......

Thanks

: If it is your User Bank that is lost, it is probably the RAM backup
: battery.All synths etc. need somme amount of power running to retain memory in RAM.This is done by a Lithium cell inside on a cicuit board.
: You can change it yourself,but that will void any warranty you might have.Be very careful not to disturb any other components,especially with solder iron.Batteries can be found at any decent electronics parts house for under $10.00.Just open the unit up and check the type, number&voltage of the one in there.Then you can probably get the Bank downloaded from Alesis,or some other nice person,if you don't already have the data backed up.Battery life is usually about
