Well, you can't be right about everything, Dave.

Did you have any issues installing Soundbridge on newer computers? I can't remember if it was the driver or the 64bit that gave me an issue. It's been a while. If you can ever find QControl it's a fantastic Windows program for controlling QS keyboards. I believe I have a zipped, very small copy of it from when I purchased it. I know that the author hasn't supported the program in well over 10 years. Can I upload it to this thread? 1 Quote The fact there's a Highway To Hell and only a Stairway To Heaven says a lot about anticipated traffic numbers People only say "It's a free country" when they're doing something shitty-Demetri Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin Havu Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 I've had two Quadrasynths (non-Plus Piano) from 2011 to 2015. Both of which fell victim to a garbled LCD screen that even doing a battery change/factory reset couldn't cure. Sold both of them for parts, but man, I loved that instrument. I thought the stock piano to be quite playable, the rhodes EP was nice, too, and the synth sounds were incredible. Not to mention a great-feeling keybed with an aftertouch that didn't take all the strength in your hands to engage (*cough* Roland.)

QControl sounds great. I think I last used Soundbridge before I went to a 64 bit system about 4 years ago. So I haven't tried it with my newer computer and should see what happens. I still have an older machine in the basement I could set up if it didn't work in my studio.

I was astounded when I got my KS32 back in 1992. I sold it 5 years later (loved it in the studio but so heavy to haul to gigs). I got a SQ1 Plus 5 years ago for $113 near mint just so I could play back my old KS32 sequences I'd backed up (I later got conversion software to change the sequences to GM). But the SQ1 Plus I believe is missing the additional 16 MB samples that the KS32 had. So a few patches don't quite work but it's only a handful. But the piano on it is still amazing for just 1 MB. As I recall, the original SQ1 only had 1 MB of 12-bit sample ROM and the Plus added the additional 16-bit 1 MB piano (as did the SQ2). Then the KS32 added yet another batch of 16 MB samples including Moog bass synth samples, among others.
