Patches and discussion for Ensoniq VFX family

Hello, Paul.

Yes, I believe it does have to do with step input when you are sequencing on 
the VFX-SD.  I have used the double pedals for many years--it's one of the 
main reasons I still use the VFX--not too many other keyboards have the 
advance pedal option, and are as easy to program as the VFX.  I play in the 
pits of several local theatre groups each year.  I frequently play "second 
keyboard"--which means I might support the pianist by filling in important 
orchestral instruments from the score.  Or there might be a book for a 
synthesizer provided--with program changes that are just too rapid to do 
with the hands.  This pedal system has allowed me to program entire 
shows--up to 200 changes--sequentially--and store them on disk or 
cartridges--I really recommend using the "advance" feature for anyone who 
plays live and needs really quick changes!  Cheers!  Ellen
