Patches and discussion for Ensoniq VFX family

re the noise from an SD-1.

I don't know if this advice has been offered on this group or not, but 
here's a MAJOR issue with the whole VFX/SD family. If you want the best 
signal to noise ratio out of the beast, the keyboard master volume 
slider needs to be up FULL. It is NOT a volume control (or attenuator) 
it is a digital controller of the dynamic range of the final output 
stage DAC, so there-fore, if you have the volume control set to 75%, you 
get HALF the signal to noise ratio the beast is capable of.  - be 
careful of that one.

but having told everyone that then you'll all get a better sound out of 
them and nobody will want to sell me theirs. Bugger. Ignore everything I 
just said.

cheers
