I will probably get a lot of use out of the VFXsd untill it dies, in spite of its voice steeling limitations. I also have the Ensoniq TS 10 which ahs the same wonderfull sequencer, as well as newer and more numerous on board sounds, without the limitations of the VFXsd. I also have a Yamaha RM1X, and think those who like the VFXsd sequencer would like this machine a lot. It also has some sweet user friendly effects that you can record into each track after laying down the original track. VERY NICE feature. But I still love the sounds on the old VFXsd and love to blend them in different combinations which makes them sound new to me all over again.
