Description

Hardware and Software for the Suzuki Q-Chord

README

Suzuki QChord Projects

Things that work with the Suzuki QChord, primarily a reproduction QCard that can be built with completely off-the-shelf parts. These projects are under active development.

Physical devices

Q-Card Multicart QMC-001

You can get one as long as stock lasts at my Ko-Fi shop!

A single cartridge that contains the entire Q-Card library, selectable by dip switches. The flash should be programmed prior to assembly, by concatenating the 4Mbit dumps you can find on archive.org.

Single Q-Card Reproduction

A rewriteable reproduction QCard PCB using SMD components. The flash module uses a TSOP32 package. It can be reprogrammed after assembly with the programmer adapter below.

Documentation

Including

• my research notes on the Q-Card hardware & connector
• my reverse-engineered Q-Card format
• continuing research into the sound bank present on Q-Chord

Software

Primarily, the qcard command-line tool that can be used to convert MIDI to and from Q-Cards.
