Alesis Data Disk SQ

Tested and working as follows. I tested by saving multi sysex data to disk from an MMT 8 sequencer which which had 3 sequences in it. I then deleted the sequences from the MMT 8 and successfully restored back from the data disk. No further testing was done. Comes with original OEM power supply as pictured. Please inspect the pictures carefully before purchasing. What is pictured is what is included. Selling and shipping to US only

Key features and specifications:

Storage Capability: Uses 3.5" double-sided double-density floppy disks to store up to 800 KB of data, accommodating up to 53 files per disk.

Functionality: Operates as a "Direct MIDI to Disk" recorder, meaning it captures data in real-time without needing a large RAM buffer.

Compatibility: Functions with virtually any manufacturer's equipment that supports MIDI SysEx dumps.

Interface: Features a 16-character x 2-line backlit LCD screen, 12 push buttons for operation, and rear-panel MIDI In/Out/Thru ports.

DataDisk SQ: A variant that records and plays back MIDI sequences.

It was particularly popular for touring musicians in the early 1990s as a reliable way to load sounds and patches into gear like the Alesis Quadraverb.

Makes a great companion piece for the MMT-8 sequencer or HR-16 drum machine to save MIDI sequences or for any other stand alone sequencer without a disk drive. It can also be used to save patches from synths. Includes power adapter.
