In Reply to: QS8 Serial port as MIDI ? posted by Marius Laumans on January 14, 2000 at 08:47:57:

Its a pretty standard cable. I bought one (made by Hosa, probably) when I got my QS8 with the correct plugs and it
worked. You could end up with 2 and 3 pins the wrong way round with a random cable.

: My laptop doesnt come with a midi-interface but I would like to use it for midi-sequencer-software.
: I know that I can use the serial output of my QS8 as a midi-interface. But: Do I need just a regular serial-to-serial cable, or is it a special Alesis-one ?
: Plus: Will the midi-data of a sampler, attached to my QS8 via a regular midi-cable, also be understood by my laptop , despite of the serial connection ??

: Thanks, Marius
