Boss VF-1 Effect Processor

Hello, Fellow Sonic Explorers!

I am just getting to know my excellent VF-1 (which I am running into 
my MXP-500 and from there into my Vortex). I am surprised at how 
wonderful the presets are, especially the noisemaker patches that 
were not meant to work with guitar...ironically, many of those sound 
great with guitar!

Anyway, there are some sounds in my head that I have trouble arriving 
at just by changing the prestets, and since I do not have as much 
time as I'd like for tweeking, I could use some help in the form of 
ohter people's patches, from which I can develop my own sounds 
without starting from nothing. 

The trouble is, I do not see any archives here. I see postings where 
people MENTION archives, but no hotlink saying "Archives." Where do 
you guys keep the good stuff? 

Thanks,
Tim Mungenast

There is a mixed bunch in the files section:

Thanks! I sent you a reply yesterday but when I hit Send, I got 
bounced out and it looks like the system never sent my e-mail. (Can 
you say "KLUGE?")
Anyway, can you guys help me with another question, this one 
concerning the Detune Chorus preset? It's wonderful, but it 
intermittently passes straight dry audio as I play, e.g., dry, 
processed, dry, processed... the other patches (mine and the 
factory's) seem to be behaving themselves.
I'd be very grateful for any insights.
Cheers,
Tim

Unfortunately, I cannot open about 80% of these (sigh). One of them, 
for instance (.mdf?), just opens for a nanosecond and then disappears 
with a little "boink" sound. Even though I allegedly loaded it onto 
my desktop, it does not seem to exist anywhere in my computer. It 
went "poof" like olde-tyme flashpaper. Then the others require Quick 
View, which says I need to install it with a Windows CDROM, which I 
do not have. I hate computers.
I am grateful for all the help, I just wish I could *access* that 
help.
Clueless Yet Again,
Tim

Hi,

I took a quick look in the files section, I haven't been there since I 
downloaded some things and patches years ago.

It's more as only patches down there.

Did you ever do a sysex dump before ?
What's your computer setup, do you know Midi - ox ?

On the download page only tjhe Syx files are patches, some of the are 
zipped.
Maybe there are some midi or mid files also who can contain patches.

It's years ago but I do remember having trouble with some patches, not 
sure anymore.
But there are some patches worht checking out.
Most guitarstuff i think.


Anyway,

Sjaak

Yahoo can be strange and unpredictable sometimes.
Sometimes my mail doesn't arrive or hours later.

But most time it's ok.

What's the preset number,  let me know I will have a look at it.
But I don't know, strange problem, must be sowhere in the the settings I 
would say.

btw, what inputs are you using, the hi-z or the rear inputs ?

Ok, midiot makes sense, let's try to get you doing midi bulk dumps.
And/or sysex dumps.

The manual has dedicated a few pages on these subjects.

And do you have sequencer as Cubase or Cakewalk on your pc ?
If not you might need Mid-ox (free) for sending and receiving patches.


If your in the mood for some more reading, i think Harmony  Central 
wrote some usefull things about midi and sysex dumps.
