: I'm having a strange problem with the serial connection from my PC to my QS8.
: The QS8 is not responding to my PC. When I run the test i/o function for the Alesis serial driver, set at the slowest speed, it cannot detect the QS8. Upon rebooting my PC, the QS8 started acting like it was being flooded with a bunch of sustained notes. This flurry of notes went away whever I would disconnect the serial cable from the back of the QS8. If I would reconnect it the noise would start back again.
: I checked the serial connection on the PC, disconnected & reconnected the cable. Upon reboot, not only could the serial connection not detect the QS8, but the Cubase dongle was also not detected.
: Could this be some kind of PC problem?
: I'm running a PIII 1 Ghz, 256 MB, 32 MB video card. My system is relatively new and my motherboard has the Intel 815e chipset if it matters......
I forgot to mention something even stranger about my problem.
Even though the serial drive says it won't recognize the QS, I can get Cubase to playback my synth's click track. I just can't get any other midi tracks to play back. I've checked midi filters and didn't see any problems......The midi light on the transport bar doesn't respond when I play my synth.......
