In Reply to: QS8 Serial port as MIDI ? posted by Marius Laumans on January 14, 2000 at 08:47:57:

Get the actual serial cable that is made for the alesis Serial attachment look through the back forums there is an addy int here somewhere for BPM music out of colorado they have the cable and will ship it right to your door.

: My laptop doesnt come with a midi-interface but I would like to use it for midi-sequencer-software.
: I know that I can use the serial output of my QS8 as a midi-interface. But: Do I need just a regular serial-to-serial cable, or is it a special Alesis-one ?
: Plus: Will the midi-data of a sampler, attached to my QS8 via a regular midi-cable, also be understood by my laptop , despite of the serial connection ??

: Thanks, Marius
