Here is a copy of an email I sent to Alesis ( info@alesis.com ):
__________

I am not alone in wishing I could buy a piece of QS gear that would accomodate several qcards...the more, the better!

Ideally, a 1U rackmount breakout box with several qcard slots, that could be hooked up to an existing QS, perhaps via the serial port or Qcard slot or whatever would work. People could keep their existing QS, and buy the extra unit. Call it the "QSExpander" or something catchy.

I am certain such a product would solidify customer loyalty, it would sell well, and there would be a corresponding spike in qcard sales as well as a demand for new qcards.

If something like this is a technical possibility, please pursue it. I know with a ram card, the QS can address 8 extra banks, why not 8 cards of samples too? I would be willing to pay for an OS upgrade to accomodate the new unit. There could even be varying versions to accomdate varying budgets: a 4-slot version, an 8-slot version, etc.

Even if it means making a QSR.1 or .2 that has 4 or more slots, people would buy it.

Perhaps if enough interest in shown in a unit that has more qcard slots, they'll look into it. Please, if you agree, cut-n-paste the above message, or craft your own, and email Alesis. It only takes a minute, and if it led to something, it would be well worth it!
