EXTRAS

A WORD ABOUT THE QS CD-ROM

Included with the QS6.1 is a CD-ROM containing various useful software programs

to use with your QS6.1. These include various Alesis and third-party programs,

QS6.1 sounds and samples, sequences stored in the MIDI Song File (SMF) format,

plus demonstration software we thought you would find interesting. Most of these

programs are provided in both Macintosh

and IBM

PC formats.

SOUND BRIDGE™

Among the files contained on the CD-ROM is a software program called Sound

Bridgeª. Sound Bridge is a sound development utility which compiles custom

samples from a variety of sources into the QS Synthesis Voice format, and downloads

the compiled data to an Alesis PCMCIA Flash RAM Sound Card via MIDI Sysex to a

QS-series synth, DM Pro Drum Module, Nano Tracker, QuadraSynth Plus Piano or

S4 Plus. Sound Bridge allows individuals and sound developers to make their own

Sound Cards, using whatever samples they want. Sound Bridge makes this possible

without having a PCMCIA card burner attached to your computer. All you need is

one of the aforementioned synthesizers or rack units.

Sound Bridge creates a QS Voice (multi-sample) by loading Digidesign Sample Cell I

or Sample Cellª II format Instrument files. Using this format, Sound Bridge is able

to determine key group and velocity group split points, root notes, sample playback

rates, tunings, start points, loop points, and loop tunings. Sound Bridge can also

create QS Voices without Sample Cell Instruments by loading single sound files in a

variety of formats.

Sound Bridge does NOT require Sample Cellª hardware. The Sample Cell

Instrument file, or sample file, may be loaded directly into Sound Bridge from any

disk (i.e. your QS CD-ROM, floppy disk, hard disk, etc.). For example, a user may

load data from a Sample Cell-compatible CD-ROM and send this data to one of the

aforementioned Alesis unitÕs PCMCIA Card without using Sample Cell inbetween.

The Sound Bridge folder on the CD-ROM contains the Sound Bridge application, and

an electronic manual which will give you all the information you need to know to

run Sound Bridge.

Make sure you pay attention to how to set things up on your Mac or PC so that you

can transfer files at up to four times the speed of MIDI! This will lop a lot of time off

of transmitting huge files to your synth. Again, the CD-ROM tells you all about this.
