Patches and discussion for Ensoniq VFX family

Thanks for the quick reply!

Ok, now I understand how floppies work with the VFX-SD now. It's a shame that there isn't a way to create image files from .syx on a computer, don't know why no one thought of it!

I think I'll just keep my spare computer upstairs from now on. I'll try my usb to midi cable, but it probably won't work!

Thanks again,
Jonathan.

I'm sure there must be some way as on the VFX-SD operating system disks it has sound banks on it. All I want to do is put my own sound bank from my computer onto a floppy, so is this possible?
