controlling SD-1 with a VFXSD

2005-01-30 by Sandy Lane

Hi Ensoniq Fans!
I want to trigger a drum sequence in my SD-1 from my VFXSD. ( I use my VFXSD to control all my keyboards because it has the sequencer expander installed. ) What settings do I need to make in the SD-1? In the VFXSD manual I am looking at Section 13
---- Sequencer Applications pages 13 - 5 & 13 - 6 Using the VFXSD with an External MIDI Sequencer
On page 13 - 6: it says: "When using the VFXSD as both the controller and one of several sound generators with an external sequencer: * Set up the MIDI connections as shown in the diagram on the previous page. ( I did that )
* Set the external sequencer to echo incoming MIDI data at its output. ( So how do I set the SD-1 to " echo incoming MIDI data at its output" ? I consulted the SD-1 manual but it is word for word the same as the VFXSD manual. ) Am I even looking at the correct set of instructions? Have any of you tried to do this? I sure do want to use this drum pattern. Hope someone can tell me how to proceed.
Thanks for any help you can give me.
Sandy Lane
