Patches and discussion for Ensoniq VFX family

It will usually say right on the front panel (where all the buttons are) on
the LEFT side of the board 32 voice...

  Yes...

  Remove any disks from disk drive.

  Put a "SD-1 Formatted" Disk in the drive.

  To the right of the display, at the top of the section of buttons under
  "System", Press the button "Storage"

  Press the black Soft button bellow the display, that is beneath "DISK"
  (which is illuminated)

  Press a soft button beneath "SAVE", "LOAD" or "DELETE".

  If there is a message either saying that "Disk has been Changed 21 voice
  enabled" or "Disk has been Changed 32 voice enabled", your SD-1 is
  32voice. Otherwise it is likely not.

  Also, be aware, if yours is 32voice, when you insert a disk "formatted
  from scratch" on an older "21voice" SD-1, or VFX, and press the save,
  load, delete, in the storage area, or do anything to make the message
  "Disk has been Changed 21 voice enabled", your 32voice SD-1 is limited
  to "21voice" until you insert a 32voice formatted disk, and press one of
  those buttons, again. You do not have to load any files to the SD-1,
  just make it read the disk. Your 21voice project will now be 32voice,
  and, so long as you save it to a 32voice formatted disk, it will remain
  saved as 32voice, and will play as 32voice, so long as you do not
  insert, and read, a 21voice disk.

  I personally converted all my old 21voice files to 32voice, although I
  had a few crashes in some of the mass conversion, but now, as only
  32voice, it only crashes 3 or 4 times a year. Once all your projects are
  copied onto 32voice disks, I would reformat all your 21voice disks to
  32voice, to avoid accidentally running out of voices, due to
  accidentally inserting a 21voice disk.

  Good Luck....

  Ralph :-)
