I do not remember the price of the VFX only, but know that the VFX-Sd went for $2695.00 back in 1990 and 1991. My friend/mentor had one and remember having to send it in for the keyboard calibration error. Because they had such a hard time fixing/finding the error, Ensoniq updated the sequencer memory and added the Mega-Piano waves. We did not upgrade it to the SD-1 though, so when he moved to Washington, he took the fully loaded VFX-SD with the mods and upgrades done. Truly a great synth.
As I have talked baout before in my previous posts, I have two of the VFX-SD synths, both maxxed out on sequencer memory and the keyboard mods (one of which I did myself).
It would be really neat to have one of the with the mega piano waves though.........
