Patches and discussion for Ensoniq VFX family

Hi Claus,

Here is the specs from the VFX-SD Musician's Manual, page 1-4:

"Pedal/CV Specs: 3-conductor (Tip=control voltage input, Ring=2 KOhm 
resistor to +12 Volts, Sleeve= ground). 68 KOhm input impedance, DC coupled. 
Input voltage range=0 to 10 volts DC. Scan rate=32mS (maximum recommended 
modulation input= 15 Hz). For use with an external control voltage, use a 
2-conductor cable with the voltage on the tip and the sleeve grounded."

That's all she wrote.

I have a Morley compact volume pedal which I am planning on making the 
modifications to.

I hope others in the group can use this information too, good luck!

-Rob
