I think a reset will copy one of the ROM banks to the INT one.
Can you write to floppy disks? The SD-1 OS floppies, I think, contain the sounds as well; and images of those are available.
I'm also attaching SYSEX files for various sounds form the SD-1. But note that you have to enable receiving of SYSEX messages to use them:
- Go to the MIDI Control page by pressing the MIDI Control button
- Press MIDI Control again to go to the second sub-page
- On this page, there's an entry SYS-EX=ON or OFF
- make sure that it says SYS-EX=ON in order to make your SD-1 accept incoming SYSEX messages such as the ones included below.

Shouldn’t a factory reset restore the RAM sounds as well?On May 2, 2017, at 1:20 PM, vocedave2002@yahoo.com [Ensoniq-VFX-SD] <Ensoniq-VFX-SD@yahoogroups.com> wrote:Hi Folks,
Recently pulled out the SD-1 only to find it had lost all the RAM sounds. It turns out the the battery tab on the negative side had broken from touring over the years.
My disks have been corrupt for about a decade. I was able to restore the factory RAM (RM12) at one time from SYSEX. Someone was nice enough to email me the original sounds as a SYSEX file? Does anyone know if that file is called sd1_keys1_60.syx? I've tried reloading it to no avail. Do I need to unlock the RAM somehow?
Thanks in advance for your advice.
Best,
