Patches and discussion for Ensoniq VFX family

Thank you for the additional info on the D-110 thing.  I am glad that
it works on your end though.  I am not sure why either.  I have two of
the D-110 units and so I am pretty sure that it is not 'Roland'
specific.  I also tried to delete all controller information from the
song(s) on the VFX, just to see if it was getting a wierd character,
and the problem still exhibited itself.  I wish there was a unison
mode for the D-110, because I do like the electric piano sounds in
them and can make neat stuff.

I also ran into problems when using the E-Mu PK6 with one of the VFX
units MIDIed into it (where the E-mu was sending controller
information).  the E-Mu has a beats mode where it has pre-programmed
beats and I liked to trigger the bass and drum sounds for additional
fullness for ideas.  When the E-mu was turned on and I then turned on
the VFX, I got an system error and it would re-initialize itself,
until I unplugged the cable from the MIDI In port on the VFX.  then,
it booted up just fine.  It must have been the constant MIDI clock
message being sent from the E-mu.

That is fine, because the only two sounds I am really missing from the
VFX are the violin and cross stick sounds.  I use my SQ1+ for the
violins and use the JV-880 synths for the cross stick.  Everything
else is in the VFX units.

Well, again, thank you for letting me post, and I do apologize for
getting verbose on my gear list.  I will try to post some pics
tomorrow with the VFX synths in action....
