Patches and discussion for Ensoniq VFX family

Don't panic, R.
That's exactly what I have, a VFX-SD.  Yup, sequencer and disc drive.
So I kinda know what's going on.
 
MOF, I know so much of what's going on that I'll clue you in.  The sequence
I run on a Mac, Opcode StudioVision, has a "wait for note" setting that does
precisely what you're describing.
Opcode had since 1986 or so.  But you may be right, it might not be out
there NOW (but I kinda think it is).
No mystery to it.

Hey L if your having trouble using the seq in your VFX, it because the VFX
does not have a seq! LOL but the VFXSD does.
 
Anyone ever notice that no computer seq software on the market today has the
Ensoniq Rec at first note down feature? I even had a chat with
Cakewalk/Sonar R&D guys and they were stumped. I wonder if it was a feature
created by Ensoniq.

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.
