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

To clarify, I need a sysex app which I can use in FreeMIDI

Unisyn should do the job… normally… huh.gif

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.

oops…
Have you asked Alesis ? It must be a common question asked to them.

In the FAQ's on Alesis site there is only an hint that Soundbridge and Freeloader should be used with a serial link direct to the QS. Have you tried ? Also at keyspan site, do they tell these softs are ok for use with?

Sorry but it's all I can see. sad.gif
