Patches and discussion for Ensoniq VFX family

Geren's explanations are interesting, but there is a
need to clarify the original question.

If you have a VFX-SD, a PC with a MIDI interface, then
of course you can load sounds from the floppy on the
VFX-SD and send it thru SysEx to the PC.

If you don't have a VFX-SD, or have a PC without a
MIDI interface, then you need to use an EDM-Clone to
copy/diskimage VFX-floppies.

If interested, I can write few lines on how WITHOUT a
VFX-SD and WITHOUT a Midi-interface, I
backup/fileimaged my old VFX-floppies (there is a
testfile in VFX-yahoo-files section).

Fred (still selling its VFX-SD for parts to French
users)
