Hi Richard.
That sounds cool!!
Personally, I'd prefer two standard VFX-buttons placed near the actual cartridge slot, since there would be space behind the panel. (I know cutting square holes isn't as easy as drilling round ones.... ;) ) To show the bank selected I could imagine a 7 segment LED, which would show upto 10 Banks..
Is the cartridge slot the same on all VFXes btw?

Yes actually I started this about two years ago and still have it sitting on my work bench, only thing I couldn't decide was how to go about switching from bank to bank.
Do I add a small switch that would end up having to pass through the top or back of the VFX/VXFSD/SD1? and how many people would want to deface their unit and cut a hole init? I set this up on my bench unit and was able to select 6 additional banks plus the internals and still use the cart as well, it works I just have a few cosmetic details to work out...any thoughts?

fitted cartridge board? I mean, instead of changing cartridges all the
time, have anybody made an internal card-board with say 4 switchable
cartridges for direct access to 256 sounds at once (or the like), as
was done on Yamhas DX7 by I-can't-remember-who? It looks like it would
be possible somehow (looking at the schematics anyway). And talking
schematics: Is it possible getting/bying a schematic specifically for
the 21 Voice board, or is the cartridge connector the same as on the
VFX schematic?
Hope this makes sence :)
