Re: [Ensoniq-VFX-SD] Projected Battery Life/sequencer

Jay,
I agree with Han's advice here. If it ain't broke - don't fix it.
With regard to your sequencer problem, you may want to generate a new subject and email about your problem so that it doesn't get lost because it is under some other subject matter.
Make sure you include as much info as you can about your VFX or SD1 including the sequencer version you need - if you know it. And yes.....if you didn't have your sequences backed up then you will have lost them.

Subject: [Ensoniq-VFX-SD] Projected Battery Life/sequencer

I was just yesterday wondering the same thing.
Usually original batteries in electronics are longer
lasting than replacement batteries. In particular
items like watches. I was thinking about changing
mine but I think I'll wait. I've got a bigger
problem. My sequencer went down. Of course my
sequences are apparently lost too. Anyone have any
idea if there is a download somewhere to reload the
sequencer? That's the one disc I don't have.
Naturally!
Jay
