Alesis does it again!
I now own three Q Cards, this one being the latest addition, and I am not disappointed. Fantastic round of samples. Very usefull programs and mixes. The choir voxes are exactly what I was looking for. Great organs,synths, fx, orchestrals and voice layers. One could spend some serious time creating with this card!

Feature:
A big variety of sounds to choose from, and all tweakable at every level. If only the sounds were better...

Quality:
No probs with this one, but we had a Classical card go south after only 18 months.

Value:
It's a good price, but given the lack of useful patches, you're getting only what you pay for. Maybe not even THAT much.

Desirability:
After I left my church job (where I DID use the card), I found one of these used for $15 and snatched it up. Still haven't used it though.

Sound:
Some interesting sounds, but little of value in a liturgical environment. The pipe organ sounds were particularly unconvincing. There may be a church where this kind of stuff is of value - but not any church I ever worked in.

Support:
Ever since Numark took over, the support policy has absolutely sucked.

Overall:
There ARE good Q-cards - vintage keys and vintage synths are both great. I'm hoping the Classical Piano one is good too - I'll be buying one soon. But THIS ine just doesn't cut it. Your mileage may vary.
