Patches and discussion for Ensoniq VFX family

That sort of gave me a chuckle.
I'm exactly the opposite.

I never use hardware sequencers.  Ever.  I can't use the one on my VFX for
the life of me.
Always software.  Always.

'Course, I'd never do music sequencing with a PC, anyway.  That's for
surfing (like now). 
My music sequencing is done on a Mac.... as it's always been, since 1987
when I got my first one, to this really nice Mac I use now for music.  It
rolled off the production line in 1994.  

Funny thing, I don't even feel like I'm "making-do with old gear".  I feel
*comfortable* with it.  There's no sound I can't make and no time-signature
I can't handle (gear-wise... I may not be THAT talented ;-).  

But maybe someday I'll get the hang of this sequencer.  If nothing else,
just for controlling stuff like patch changes  when I use it live.
