Alesis Pop Rock QuadraCard !!! - includes LIFETIME Warranty !!! Extremely Rare !!!

This is one of the hardest to find cards in the Alesis QuardaCard/QCard product line. This card was produced for such a short time that only a small quantity of these cards were ever produced by Alesis, making this one of the rarest of all the QCards/QuadraCards.

The Pop Rock QuadraCard 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 DOES NOT WORK with the QS7, QS8, or QSR models. If you own a QSR, QS7, or QS8, then check my other auctions or e-mail me.

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. If you are wondering why this card does NOT work in the QSR/QS7/QS8 Models, it is because of the fact that there are many different replacement Flash Memory Chips. These chips vary in price and compatibility. For example, The Flash Memory Chips required to refurbish a card that will work in the QSR/QS7/QS8 Models are considerably more expensive than the Flash Memory Chips required for all other QS/Quadrasynth Models. Because there are many QS owners that do not own a QSR, QS7 or QS8, I prefer to offer my buyers both options. This way owners of the Quadrasynth, Quadrasynth Plus Piano, S4, S4+, QS6, QS6.1, QS7.1, QS8.1, QS6.2, QS8.2 and the DG8 can save money by purchasing a cheaper card. If you require (or prefer) a card that works in the QSR/QS7/QS8 then check out the auctions for my $199 QSR/QS7/QS8 compatible cards. Also note that this card works in BOTH Slots of the QS6.1, QS7.1 and QS8.1 - it is only the QSR/QS7/QS8 Models that require the more expensive Flash Memory Chips for Upper and Lower Slot compatibility.

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.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: This card DOES NOT WORK with the QS7, QS8, or QSR models. If you own a QSR, QS7, or QS8, then check my other auctions or e-mail me.

This card works in ALL SLOTS in the following synths:

Quadrasynth and S4 Module
Quadrasynth Plus Piano and S4+ Module
DG8 Digital Piano
QS6
QS6.1
QS6.2
QS7.1
QS8.1
QS8.2
NOTE: As stated above, this card DOES NOT WORK with the QS7, QS8, or QSR models. If you own one of these models see my other auctions for a QSR compatible Card.

As Alesis describes it - "The 8 Megabyte Pop Rock QuadraCard is a classic collection of contemporary and vintage instruments. The card features dozens of great-sounding electric pianos, organs, basses and guitars - including a Dobro slide guitar that's destined to become a classic. You'll also find rich synthesizer sounds that will help to cut through a thick rock mix without harsh, brittle overtones. Several drumkits are also included, with a generous collection of punchy kicks, snares and percussion recorded in L.A.'s top studios. The Pop Rock QuadraCard is your complete timbral resource for tomorrow's rock sound." Contains 128 Presets and 100 Mixes.

As I describe it - "The Pop Rock QuadraCard is one of my personal favorites, and it is essentially the forerunner to the extremely popular Vintage Keyboards and Vintage Synths QCards. If you like the Vintage Keys or Vintage Synths QCards and want MORE of the types of patches on these cards, then you will definitely want to try the Pop Rock QuadraCard." Keep in mind that I have the most liberal "No Risk" return policy possible - if you buy one of my QCards and find you are not that pleased with it, you can exchange it for any other QCard or return it for your full money back.

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: If you require a card that works in the QSR/QS7/QS8 then check out the auctions for my $199 cards.

Frequently asked questions:

Will this card work with the QuadraSynth/QuadraSynth Plus Piano or the S4/S4 Plus Sound Module?
Yes, ALL QuadraCards work FINE with the original QuadraSynth keyboards and S4 Sound Modules as well as the QS series. Unlike the newer QCards which require that you load a special Preset Bank into your User Bank in order to use the QCard with the original Quadrasynth, the QuadraCards are "almost" Plug-and Play with the original Quadrasynth and S4 modules. I say "almost" because you still have to load the Preset Bank FROM the QuadraCard into the original Quadrasynth/S4 User Bank prior to accessing the sounds. But this is MUCH easier than what is required to use the newer QCards, which require a Special Preset Bank to make the cards work. All QuadraCards are true "Plug-and-Play" with the Quadrasynth Plus Piano and the S4 Plus.
You said ALL QuadraCards work with the Quadrasynth and S4 Modules - isn't the World Ethnic Card a QCard? What is a QuadraCard?
The World Ethnic Card is a QuadraCard. Before the QCards, Alesis introduced the QuadraCards as a sound expansion option for the Quadrasynth and S4 models. The QuadraCards have the format of the original Quadrasynth (which is also compatible with the Quadrasynth Plus Piano and the newer QS series). When Alesis introduced the QS6 (and subsequent QS models), they changed the name to QCards and they changed the card Preset Bank format to that of the Quadrasynth Plus Piano model, which is different than the original Quadrasynth. So the newer QCards are Plug-and-Play with the Quadrasynth Plus Piano and all of the QS series synths, but need a Special Preset Bank which Alesis created just for the original Quadrasynth in order to use them with the Quadrasynth. Since the QuadraCards (like the World Ethnic card) were created for the Quadrasynth, no Special Preset bank is needed for use with the Quadrasynth.
You said ALL QuadraCards were created for the Quadrasynth/S4 Modules and the Quadrasynth Plus Piano. Will a QuadraCard work with a newer QS series synth like the QS7.1?
YES - the original QuadraCards are forward compatible with ALL Quadrasynth and QS series models.
Will this card work with the Alesis DG8 88 Note digital Piano?
Yes, ALL QuadraCards work FINE with the Alesis DG8 in addition to the QS Series Synths.

NOTE: I believe in fair shipping fees, but due to US Postal Rate changes, I have had to raise my shipping fees. 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 in the continental US. Worldwide shipping is no longer a flat rate, I need to know your country before I can give you exact rates. I have found the new rates to range from around $13.00 to $18.00, 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. PayPal accepted.
