Patches and discussion for Ensoniq VFX family

you might check 
http://www.fatsnake.com/syntaur/vfx.html

they have the ensoniq cart patch lists for VPC101-105 and VSD1000-1004
I picked up the 'manual' for the VPC100 sounds, that came with the 
VFX,
but don't have the Cart !

Im in the process of getting Sounddiver to talk to my VFX right now,
but Sysex dumps an loads are the whole point.
you can find disks of VFX sounds, and theres a util to let a pc
read and write them, so you could also get sounds off disk, to
download via sysex. IF you can't find what your looking for off the 
net.

HEY, does anybody know where the VFX patch archive went ???
I was going to point her to it, but its gone, atleast the page
I had a link to
