Too many books are now out-of-print that directly correspond to Ensoniq gear. Your son might get something out of a editing package for whatever computer system he is using. Sound Quest makes a pretty straightforward editor or he could go with the tried and true button mashing to create sounds [big fan of that method!] Good luck! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Cable" <cableizme@...> To: Ensoniq-VFX-SD@yahoogroups.com Cc: Ensoniq-VFX-SD@yahoogroups.com, "STEPHEN PRATT" <alto.sax@verizon.net> Sent: Thursday, August 1, 2013 12:08:41 AM Subject: Re: [Ensoniq-VFX-SD] Reaching Rish (of route66studios) Thanks all! Somehow the master tuning was changed to 56. After resetting it to 0 all was better! It belongs to my 12 ye old son for his band of fellow 7th graders. He is slowly learning how to use and control the VFX-SD. He got it on Craigslist and it was in very good shape! Can anyone recommend a book or DVD to help tutor him? Like synths for dummies...lol??

Also check that the pitch bend wheel is returning to center: When the synth is powered OFF, the settings are remembered - same if you are stepping on the hold pedal and power off.

If all else fails try a system reset (this will restore everything to factory defaults). Hold down Preset+Soft Button 1: Initialize system While turning on the power.
