Patches and discussion for Ensoniq VFX family

Michael,
What you're doing seems dangerous for a couple
reasons.  What if your sequencer on the SD1 goes down
like mine did recently?  You've lost all your work. 
What if it happens at your gig?  Yeow!  

What I do is create each sequence and play the
sequence directly into my digital recorder.  Then I
take that and put into my computer.  You can bypass
one step and record directly to the computer.  When I
have the entire group of sequences saved like I might
do with a song, I record them onto a CD or two or
three.  

The sequences are mostly drum but I also add piano,
organ  etc at times depending on the song.
When my buddy and I play, we have a list of our songs
which correspondes to the number of the track on the
CD.  In other words if we're doing a song like
Satisfaction, I look at the list and see that it's
track number 4 (or whatever) and I cue the CD player
to 4, hit play and we're off and running.  The CD
player is connected to our sound system.
 
If I want to change something, like the  volume of the
organ or whatever I still have everything stored on my
computer with everything backed up on a CD.  (Each
track stored separately)  I'll remix the track and
change the volumes or whatever and re-burn it to a CD.
 

Also, I don't save as MP3 due to the loss of sound
quality.  This means using two or three discs instead
of one but they sound much better.
