The Alesis EuroDance QCard is in excellent cosmetic and working condition. Also included is the Alesis Instruction Booklet/Patch Charts and the Protective Jewel Case.
Note that this card has been Refurbished and is guaranteed to be in excellent working condition, with a LIFETIME warranty. QCards are comprised of several primary components - the Outer Casing, the 68 Pin PCMCIA Connector, and a Circuit Board containing many electronic components including Flash Memory Chips, ASICs, Transistors, Capacitors, and a primary Controller Chip. My Refurbished QCards have had at least one or more of these components replaced to guarantee that the card meets (or exceeds) the original factory specifications. My "refurbishing" process actually makes this card more rugged than a standard QCard!
If you are looking for any other QCards or Quadracards, feel free to e-mail me through eBay and let me know what you are looking for. Because I also buy and trade QCards, I always have a decent inventory of good used cards in stock at any given time - so it is best to e-mail me for price and availability for any other cards you may be interested in. Note that if my ad specifies "refurbished" then at least one (or more) of the primary components has been replaced, but if the ad does NOT specify "refurbished" then the auction is for a good condition used QCard, NOT a "refurbished" card.
This card works in the following synths:
The EuroDance QCard provides excellent, big, well-produced quality sounds for the Electronic and Dance genres. However, this card is one of the best in the series because it offers many other great patches for all types of musical genres - the pads in particular are very spacious and beautiful. New waveforms include many loops as well as classic "House" Organs and Pianos, Analog Synth Waves, Additive/Bell Waveforms, TB-303, Fairlight, Ambient, and some absolutely "slamming" Drum Kits, with all the "usual" suspects such as the TR-909 and TR-808, but also the CR-78 "Rhythm Machine", classic Drum 'n' Bass drums (Amen breakbeat) and much more.
The 8 Megabyte EuroDance QCard offers every sound you need to create "maximum power" dance productions and remixes. Whether you’re into Techno, Trance, Ambient, Industrial or House music, the EuroDance QCard offers an intense collection of flowing Drum and Bass grooves, mind-blowing noise bursts and filter sweeps, smooth and resonant Synth waves and much more. You’ll find almost 300 high-quality Drum/Music loops, swirling Synth pads and Instrument/Noise samples that are guaranteed to inspire your creativity. Taking you from the trendiest clubs of London and Berlin to private all-night raves, this card gives you dozens of fat Synth waves, House Pianos and Organs, smooth FM Bass sounds and vintage Drum Machines.
As soon as you plug in the EuroDance QCard, you’ll find 128 Programs and 100 Mixes laid out and ready to use with Alesis’ QS Series or QuadraSynth synthesizers. This QCard is completely self-referencing, so it’s 100% plug-and-play. Plus, since all of its sounds are hand-crafted using 16-bit, 48kHz linear, master-quality samples and state-of-the-art synth voicing, it delivers the better-than-CD sonic quality you’ve come to expect from Alesis QS synthesizers. If you require more than the standard 128 Programs and 100 Mixes, ask me about my custom SRAM Cards which can be programmed with the 2 QCard "Extra Banks", giving you an additional 256 Programs and 200 Mixes for a total of 384 EuroDance Programs and 300 EuroDance Mixes.

Card comes with FULL 30 Day 'No Questions Asked' MONEY BACK Guarantee. Card can be returned for money back within 30 Days if not satisfied for ANY reason at all.
I now include a LIFETIME WARRANTY with all of my QCards.
NOTE: I believe in fair shipping fees, but due to US Postal Rate changes, the shipping fees have gone up again (1st Quarter of 2022). I securely pack my cards using cardboard inserts and bubble packs, and the Post Office NO LONGER ships these packages at the letter rate. And they ALSO drastically changed International rates. So my new shipping fees are $5.50 via US First Class Mail and $10.00 for Priority Mail in the Continental US. Worldwide shipping is no longer a flat rate and has just about DOUBLED from 2012 rates. I have found the new rates to range from around $13.00 to $16.00 (used to be $6.00 to $9.00), depending on country. Sorry about this, I have kept my rates constant and fair for years but the recent rate changes have forced me to make these changes. Add $2.60 more if you want shipping insurance in the US. For International packages, you MUST select Express Mail International if you want shipping insurance as the USPS will NOT insure First Class International or Priority Mail International packages. I DO COMBINE SHIPPING, but please read first if you are purchasing more than one card. For US shipments, the eBay shipping calculator should automatically combine the shipping fees - BUT, for International shipments you MUST wait for my eBay Invoice before paying if you want the combined shipping discount. eBay's shipping calculator does NOT work correctly for International "combined shipping" fees. I will send you a corrected eBay Invoice if you purchase 2 or more cards. My "combined shipping" fee is calculated as the standard shipping fee plus $1.00 for each additional card. PayPal accepted. |
Any questions? Feel free to contact me. I will gladly email my phone number to discuss your QS sound requirements. |
