Patches and discussion for Ensoniq VFX family

Yes all the carts/slots are the same, I agree the square buttons would be a better looking fit for the unit just have to have a way for the everyday joe to make them.

I do have a new item/items coming for the the VFX,VFXSD,SD1, It's a backlit set of clear mod wheels just like the new Moogs. I will have them available with blue, green or red backlighting and a custom set of chrome (plastic chrome) one's as well.
We just started a vacuume metalized service so we can do almost any plastic part.

I have my SD1 set up with chrome buttons and chrome mod wheels, I?will have some pics posted on the web site in a few weeks.

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?

Is there a chance that somebody somewhere have made an internally 
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 :)
