Patches and discussion for Ensoniq VFX family

You might consider the option of simply recording them onto your
computer as mp3 or wav files and playing them back from that.  It is
simple to do and there is plenty of free software such as Audacity and
Audiograbber that will record them.  Simply connect the line-outs of
the VFX-SD to the line-in of your computer and record them in real time.

You would not be able to edit or make changes, but you would have the
great VFX-SD sounds.  You could play them back with any computer or
mp3 player.
