Help locating sounds

2001-11-14 by Rachel Morgan

Hi all,

I recently bought an Ensoniq VFX again, many years after originally owning 
one. However I discovered to my dismay that many of the sounds I so fondly 
remembered were actually not presets - they must have been on cartridges. 
Now, my memory is a bit vague here, but I seem to remember having a couple 
of Ensoniq's own ROMs but I can't remember what they were called. I know 
there was one sound that was an orchestra tuning up, and another that was 
like a big stab with a repeat on it. But that is kind of it.

So, my question is: do you know what I am talking about? If so do you know 
if there is a place to see the patch lists of the original cartridges? And 
more importantly, how on earth I'd go about getting hold of them? Is it 
possible to download sounds through some sort of MIDI sys-ex dump?

Any help at all would be hugely appreciated!

Best wishes

Rachel
