Is there a sysex app. which will work in MOTU's FreeMIDI (not OMS) to send extra SYSEX Alesis Q Card programs via the editor/librarian Unisyn on my PowerBook G3 to the Alesis QSR module? If it makes a difference, the MIDI interface is hooked up via the Keyspan USB/serial adatper which works great otherwise.
The apps. which Alesis includes -- Soundbridge and Freeloader -- cause freezes, crashes, and worse. I just tried the MIDIEx profile from Mark of the Unicorn's website, but no go.
Thanks,
Bonne

Thanks for your time.
To clarify, I need a sysex app which I can use in FreeMIDI to be able to load sysex files from my desktop to the Alesis QSR tone module. These are extra program files which came with each Q Card's floppy or CD. (Each Q Card's primary voices and mixes come in Sysex and in Unisyn's format. The extra files are the ones I can't get to without a working sysex app.)
I check MOTU's site but nothing's changed for several years; Alesis hasn't upgraded and fixed the known problem with the sysex app they include -- SoundBridge and FreeLoader. Both have been known for years to be problematic on most Macs. I had two serious hard drive crashes. Beware.
