Patches and discussion for Ensoniq VFX family

Not sure if you had were able to get any of the vfx drum grooves 
that were released early. Some of these were on the tomdisk set, I 
don't know if it is still available. You can also take the drum 
parts from the original sequences that came with the vfx and change 
tempo and edit them. This will be easyer than creating your own drum 
parts and probably keep you busy for awhile if you haven't already 
discovered this. This is just a quick way to make drum tracks 
without doing any of the work. Also their may be a way to download 
midi drum patterns from the net but no one on this site is sure how 
to load them into the vfx. Give me time and I will figure it out, 
everything seems to take me a long time because I don't have the 
time anymore. I hope some of this will help you, or someone else.
