Patches and discussion for Ensoniq VFX family

Hi,
I've been thinking the same thing and have come to the conclusion that to get a new instrument for replacement of a a VFX series synth is impossible, if the tonal character has to come along too.

On most modern synths and workstations it's pretty easy to switch between different modes too. But to get the 'easy flow' the VFX had/has, one has to search for a long time. Not many (any?) new instruments have so many dedicated physical Edit, Sequencer etc. buttons.

Best, Claus
