Patches and discussion for Ensoniq VFX family

hey chuck

really want to thank you for "the lot"  it has provided me many late night hours of enjoyment with my vfx sd!

and i agree about the motif.  tried to replace my vfx with it, and seriously the friendliness of the vfx wins out!


thanks again for all the great patches!
