when i had my QS (just sold it actually) i had the vintage synths card -
don't bother. it tries to fake around the QS's lack of filter resonance with
all sorts of sample layering tricks, and 90% of the card is "Alaska" type
sweeps - big reverberating pads that don't really sound like any vintage
synth i've ever heard. there is an excellent KPR-77 drum bank, but it's not
worth getting the rest of the card for.

sanctuary card has some good organs and choirs, but little else - it's
designed for church use and has lots of AMENs in various keys.

you're better off getting an SRAM card and loading it up with 8 banks of
patches - there are some really great patches in Alesis's Expando banks.
