Patches and discussion for Ensoniq VFX family

I think you should be able to use a Universal Librarian to arrange these things, if you're hooked up to a computer.

Otherwise, the last reply would be the way to go.  Another approach, and one that personally use is to just save every song as '60 songs w/programs.'  It's not very efficient, but it's really easy, and I always have the program sounds loaded.

I can't seem to find a method to copy and paste a single song to another disk with out over writing an existing song.  Please help.
