Patches and discussion for Ensoniq VFX family

Hey there,
Just wanted to mention how much I liked your CD...I purchased it off of iTunes. The textures were really great. It's funny how I could occasionally pick out certain transwaves! I would be curious as to which parts were non-Ensoniq. To be fair, if there was one thing I disliked, it was the flute on the first track. Other than that, it was really good.

Did you use Ensoniqs on any other of your records? I will be checking them out soon. Take care!

Considered limited by today's standards these machines offer a special timbral quality that made them unique and a niche in the world of contemporary music making tools.
