    Alesis warranty card It is important to register your purchase; if you have not already filled out your warranty card and mailed it back to Alesis, please take the time to do so now. AC Power Hookup The QuadraSynth Plus works with the voltage of the country it is shipped to (either 110 or 220V, 50 or 60 Hz), and comes with a line cord or power supply suitable for the destination to which the keyboard is shipped.

    Do not operate any electrical equipment with ungrounded outlets. Plugging the QuadraSynth Plus into an ungrounded outlet, or “lifting” the unit off ground with a three-to-two wire adapter, can create a hazardous condition. Alesis cannot be responsible for problems caused by using the QuadraSynth Plus or any associated equipment with improper AC wiring.

    A Mix consists of up to 16 Programs, each assigned to a specific MIDI channel and one Effect Patch. The QuadraSynth Plus has 100 Mixes in the User Bank, plus 4 Preset Banks with 400 Preset Mixes. This is extremely useful for multitimbral setups where the QuadraSynth Plus plays back different sounds on different MIDI channels.

    Programs, and the keyboard can generate up to 16 channels of MIDI data at once. Therefore, much thicker and richly textured sounds can be created. In Mix Play Mode, the QuadraSynth Plus can be used in a wide range of applications. It can be used for live performance, in which sounds are layered or assigned to sections of the keyboard.

    Store Mode is used for storing changes of Programs, Mixes and/or Effects into the User Bank or onto a QuadraCard PCMCIA memory card accessory. It is also used for transmitting the QuadraSynth Plus’s parameters over MIDI for data storage purposes, copying sounds or effects from one Program to another, and for transferring entire Banks to or from a Sound Card.

    HAPTER DITING About Signal Processing The built-in effects processor of the QuadraSynth Plus is similar to that of the Alesis QuadraVerb 2, capable of generating multiple, fully digital effects simultaneously. The QuadraSynth Plus effects processor has four inputs, called effect sends. You might think of these as the typical post-fader sends found on a mixing console.
