Patches and discussion for Ensoniq VFX family

I bought my VFX-SD around 1990 from Caruso music. I saw it at a  
music store and sold my DX-7, my MemeoryMoog and my Fender Rhodes to 
buy it for around $2k. I still have it and use it almost every other 
night at home and play out with it every 2 weeks. I run the Organ 
patch through a Tube Rotoshpere out the aux's and while I don't get 
quite the polyphony it makes a nice rolling Hammond. The rest of the 
time I use it as a controller for my Ensoniqs MR Rack and to drive a 
Korg Karma.

Long Lives the VFX!!!!

I found in a shop in Mexico 5 years ago. I paid $400 for it and have 
never had any problems with it, I also have a SD1 32 that I use in 
my Dep mode cover band.

Ensoniq, and after MUCH "complaining" (b&tching more like)  I was 
sent back a BRAND NEW Ensoniq SD-1.  Still have it, still use it and 
still love it.  Gonna need a battery replacement soon though. lol
