Patches and discussion for Ensoniq VFX family

Hey All
  Roegster here. Johnathan Cain has used a VFX before
and who can blame him. After uploading the patches
from my sound librarian into my VFX, I was able to get
the "Huge Orchestra" patch to replace using my Roland
S-50 as a Mellotron. I'm playing keyboards in a
progressive metal band and the VFX cuts thru like a
symphony. And for some songs, the "Arp 2600" patch
gives my minimoog a run for the money. I would be lost
without it and the "Piano and Strings" patch makes the
most beautiful compliment when midied to the grand
piano sample in my S-50. Plus I can bring it in with
my volume pedal for even more dynamics.
 All in all, I would say that my VFX is the most
under-rated keyboard of all time. And when I read that
my all time favorite keyboardist, Tony Banks, used
one, I was smiling for a week. Sure, it had
calibration error problems to begin with, but by
hardwiring the two circuit boards under the action
together, I haven't had ANY problems since. It is
truely my most irreplacible board, with my DX7 running
a close second. Newer doesn't always mean better, and
I wouldn't trade my VFX for the entire product line of
Korg, Roland, Access, or any others. So maybe I'm a
little biased, but when you find something that works
for you, you stick with it. Have a wonderful week.......................Roegster
