Patches and discussion for Ensoniq VFX family

Hello all, 
  Thank you for the consideration on the 'Original
User' category.  I may not have owned the board
officially for that 1.5 years, but I went through all
of the calibration errors and longing foro the
instrument when we had to send it in for repair.
  To add merit to my 'case':
After my friend left with the VFX for his new job and
life with his family, I started building my studio,
all-the-while, looking for a VFX (I even tried to buy
his, but he would not sell it).  I bought about 20
boards and still was not happy until I finally got the
VFX in October 2004.  The reason I bought my SQ-2 was
because it was essentially a 3-sound VFX.  On albums
from 1993, 1994, and 1995, it took 5 boards to do what
I initially did on the just the VFX.  Now, I have 9
boards, and 3 of them are Ensoniqs (two being the
VFX-SD).
  I think that we all have an instrument that we hold
dear, and mine is the VFX-SD.  Even though it is
electronic and 'cold' in nature, it makes such musical
sounds and I feel connected when playing it.  It is
truly my favorite synth.
  It is too bad that Ensoniq got bought out, but am
glad that I have a part of synth history with the
Ensoniq synths.  They truly had their own sound that
made them great.
  Thank you again, 
  Harry Ebbeson III

PS:  I currently own the following and use them in
every song:

Alesis QS6
E-Mu PK-6
Ensoniq SQ-2 32 Voice
Ensoniq VFX-SD (two of these)
Korg X5
Roland JV-880
Roland XP60
Yamaha TG-33
Roland VG-8 (for my strat)

Anyway, the Ensoniq still gets top billing in my studio.
