Re: [Ensoniq-VFX-SD] Re: Error Message When using Disk Drive : "Disk Error : Bad Device ID"

2013-06-14 by jammie

the sd1 does not really need a floppy as it can recieve sysex dunps
so you can keep on using it with out the floppy drive
theres no os disk as its in the rom
and in the files section there is a massive amount of sysex banks if you need more i have the lib file in sysex
as i saved it to sysex from sounddiver
a great sysex utility i use when not using sounddiver3 is
changeit its a free win program that has specific drivers for 01w and the jv1080 synths and has a section for any device i use this to dump sysex to the sd1 if im not editing
if im creating patches i use the sounddiver as its all on the screen
