: I've had to make a change to my midi studio so that my S4 and QS8 share the same modem port. QS8 is master(in and out), S4 is connected from the Thru of the QS8. Problem is, both have Device ID of 0. I change it in OMS, but change isn't permanent. How do I get these to show up as different devices so they're both not firing the same MIDI channels? Thanks n advance!

As far as I know you can't.There is no way to assign device ID as Alesis synths don't recognize them. This was another major oversight in the software of the QS synths- probably for cost cutting I would assume. I have had the same problem with my QS6.1 and S4+ using Sounddiver. Both units receive the same sysex data. I had to disconnect one or turn power off to avoid loading data into user bank of both simultaneously.
