Is the somewhere I could download, or a way to transfer to my computer, just the raw factory PCMs from an Alesis QS-series synth?
I had an Alesis QSR for a number of years and recorded many rough demos with, just using factory presets. I sold it a few years ago and eventually fell in love with the Waldorf Blofeld, which is now 50% of my keyboard rig (paired with an Arturia Minibrute). I've been making good use of the Blofeld's limited sample memory (60MB) with a couple sets of Mellotron samples, but I'd like to be able to load some of the raw PCMs from the Alesis and build up a couple patches similar to the ones I used on the old home demos. I'm planning to pick up a used QSR in the near future to figure out which patches I used and how they're set up, but is there a way to transfer the PCMs to a computer? My original plan was to see which PCMs the patches used, make patches with everything bypassed, and record samples of the PCMs through the optical ADAT output...but that seems like an unnecessarily large pain in the d!ck. Also, are there PCMs for each note, or just one that gets transposed? I never learned how to program the QSR, and I'm not looking to permanently add it to my collection since I've already spent a lot of time learning how to program the Blofeld.
I realize that it's a silly idea, and somewhat defeats the purpose of either synth, but I think it'd be an interesting way of carrying on the now gone Quadrasynth sound.
