Alesis Quadracard Pop + Rock

Rare 8mb Alesis Quadracard Pop + Rock card

No numbered patch list exists online for the Pop Rock card the way the RTD tempo list does — that text file was unique to the loop cards. But here’s everything documented:

Alesis Pop Rock QuadraCard

Format & Compatibility

Same platform as the RTD card: 8MB PCMCIA expansion (notably larger than the RTD’s 4MB), compatible with QuadraSynth, QS6, QS7, QS8, S4/S4 Plus, and QSR.

Sound Content

The 8MB Pop Rock QuadraCard is described as a classic collection of contemporary and vintage instruments, featuring dozens of electric pianos, organs, basses, and guitars — including a Dobro slide guitar singled out as a standout sound. The card also includes synthesizer sounds designed to cut through a thick rock mix without harsh or brittle overtones, plus several drum kits with punchy kicks, snares, and percussion recorded in LA studios. It was marketed as a complete timbral resource for rock production. 

Sound Categories (from official description):

|Category |Notes |

|----------------|------------------------------------------------|

|Electric Pianos |Multiple styles/eras |

|Organs |Contemporary & vintage |

|Basses |Electric, various styles |

|Guitars |Including Dobro slide |

|Synth Leads/Pads|Rock-mix-friendly, non-brittle |

|Drum Kits |Punchy studio-recorded kicks, snares, percussion|

Key difference vs. RTD card:

• No tempo list — this is an instrument/timbre card, not a loop card. Programs are playable patches mapped across the keyboard, not pre-recorded grooves.
