Patches and discussion for Ensoniq VFX family

get the whole vfx screen display board

those screen chips only do part of the fip control you also need the fip controllers theres 2 and a screen cpu scanner which is the large chip

this deals with the controls of the buttons and interfaces with the button controls and the fip chip

along with those driver chips 

the scanner cpu controls which buttons are pressed and what info to put on the screen

its the scanner cpu chips that are the problem as well as the fip chips just no longer made 

thats why ensoniq had to go the lcd route with the fizmo and the later asr10 because nec stop production of the chips and the fip displays

    the fip controller chips are fualty

    its a common problem on the asr10

    and the esq1 sq80

    so its no suprize that the vfx has the same fualt as the esq1 and sq80 vfx sd and the ts10 all use the same display

    and you cant get the chips any more i know i have tried as i fix these all the time 

    we are working on an fpga design to replace but still in the designing and testing phase
