Patches and discussion for Ensoniq VFX family

Hi folks,

I am new to this group and this is my first post. I just got my membership activated recently, but have not had a chance to dig in until now.

For some reason the navigation menu only includes "Home", then "Post" indented below it, then a bunch of other options. Other Yahoo groups I am a member of tend to include some way to browse and search the messages, so I apologize that I am currently unable to search them.

I got a SD-1 last December. As far as I know it has the latest OS version (4.10?). I've noticed two oddities with it:

1. When switching patches, the unit tends to "freak out". It "seems" like it is the effects processors that are going haywire. Is this a common issue?

2. There is a ROM patch (I think), called "Organizer", that seems to have major problems, with 100% repeatability. It seems (again) like the effects for this patch have some kind of glitch - the patch goes haywire with some slow, pulsating sound (at about 0.5hz) and often just makes a lot of noise etc. Other patches seem not to have this problem, save for some other "organ"-type sounds, which makes me think that one of the effect algorithms, common to the organ sounds, has some kind of glitch.

Thanks for any advice,
Chuck
