PCMCIA Memory Cards for Alesis Keyboards / Synthesizers


We have sold lots of PCMCIA cards to customers for their Alesis synthesizers since 1997. Our PCMCIA static RAM (SRAM) cards are proven to work with the Alesis Andromeda A6, QuadraSynth Plus, S4, S4 Plus and QS Series synthesizers. 

Alesis synthesizer uses type I PCMCIA* expansion card (or QCard) up to 8MB memory capacity for both sample and program data storage. The Alesis Sound Bridge sample transfer utility allows the user to transfer custom samples to Flash RAM or SRAM cards from a PC or MAC computer. (Cards larger than 8MB may be used, but only the first 8 MB of data can be utilized by Alesis synthesizer.)

* Personal Computer Memory Card International Association (PCMCIA):
There are three types of PCMCIA cards: Type I card is 3.3 mm thick and is used for fast access memory storage such as SRAM or Flash memory. Type II card is 5.0 mm thick and is used for I/O applications such as modem or ethernet card. Type III card is 10.5 mm thick and is used for mass data storage such as ATA hard drives card. Alesis synthesizers use Type I cards only. Alesis synthesizer's type I PCMCIA slot is compatible with QCards, SRAM, and flash cards (up to 8MB) with 200ns access time or faster.

*Attribute memory is used for Card Information Structure (CIS) storage. The CIS describes the characteristics and capabilities of the SRAM PCMCIA card so the host system can automatically configure it. Some devices need this optional attribute memory for CIS. Please check your device's documentation or contact the device manufacturer to determine if the optional attribute memory is required or not. If your device requires no attribute memory, you do not need to purchase SRAM cards with attribute memory.   [There is no performance difference between the 8KB and 2KB attribute memory. Devices accept SRAM cards with 2KB attribute memory can also accept SRAM cards with 8KB attribute memory.]

If you are not sure whether the attribute memory is required by your devices or not, it is recommended to choose the SRAM memory cards with attribute memory because:
(1) SRAM cards with attribute memory are more compatible with most devices.  Most of the devices accepting the SRAM card without attribute memory can also accept the SRAM card with attribute memory.  [Exception: Some precision agriculture data loggers like the AG yield monitors can only use the SRAM cards without attribute memory.]
(2) Windows 2000, XP, and Vista only support SRAM cards with attribute memory.  To read/write SRAM cards without the attribute memory, in systems running Windows 2000 and XP, you need Third Party Software Packages for SRAM PC Card or special SRAM card reader such as OMNIDriveUSB Pro, etc.

** The Pretec SRAM card contains a replaceable but non-rechargeable 3V lithium battery and an on-board rechargeable but non-replaceable battery for data retention.  The replaceable lithium battery normally last 1 ~ 2 years

Warranty & Support:

  • 3 year for Pretec SRAM memory cards.
  • Free technical support from Amtron Technology and the respective manufacturers.
