Alesis Q and QX Series - USB Connection Troubleshooting

The Alesis Q and QX series controllers provide incredible control of MIDI mappable DAW and plugin environments without the necessity of drivers. This tutorial explains how to troubleshoot USB connection issues with the Q and QX series keyboard controllers in the Windows and OSX environments.

Contents

Getting Connected

Make sure that the USB cable is plugged firmly into the USB port on the rear of the Q or QX keyboard. The other end should be firmly plugged into the computer's USB port. On desktop computers, rear USB ports are preferable as front ports may not meet the power demands of some bus powered devices.

The Alesis Q and QX series USB MIDI keyboard controllers are class-compliant. This means that they do not require any separate software drivers to be installed, but use generic MIDI device drivers built into the operating system. When connecting your Q or QX series keyboard via USB, both Windows and Mac computers automatically recognize it, install the generic MIDI device drivers, and make it available to use. This is the very definition of 'plug and play.'

Windows Platform (Vista / 7 / 8.x)

Checking Connection

Windows 7/Vista

1. Click the Start (Windows) Button.
2. Begin typing Device Manager. The top result should be Device Manager as a Control Panel item. Click Device Manager to open.

Windows 8.x

1. Hold down the Windows key and press X on your computer keyboard.
2. Click Device Manager.

Once the device manager is open, double-click Sound, Video, and Game Controllers category title. This expands the category.

You should see your keyboard model listed there. If so, proceed to the next step. If not, try unplugging the cable and replugging into a different USB port. You can also try a different USB cable.

Diagnosing Driver Issues

1. Right-click your device and click Properties.
   
2. Click the Driver tab.
   
3. Click the Driver Details button.
   
4. Click on each driver in the list one at a time and verify that all providers listed are Microsoft. If they are not, carefully write down the name and location of each driver that is not listed as being provided by Microsoft. This sometimes happens with aftermarket webcams, wireless mouse, and wireless keyboard devices.
   
5. Press OK.
   
6. Right click on your device and choose Uninstall.
   
7. Click OK on the confirmation screen.
   
8. Once completed, confirm that your device is no longer present in the Sound, Video, and Game Controllers category.
   

Repairing Driver Issues

1. If you have driver providers that aren't Microsoft, browse to those locations. Typically these files are located in C:WINDOWSsystem32drivers If all of your drivers are provided by Microsoft, skip to Step 6.
2. Locate the file whose name exactly matches the one you wrote down earlier.
3. Note: Your search will be easier if you select Details from the View menu at the top of the window.
4. Right-click the file and choose Delete.
5. You will be asked if you are sure you want to delete the file. Choose Yes
6. Disconnect your keyboard.
7. Restart your computer.
