Patches and discussion for Ensoniq VFX family

I recently posted a question about selecting sequences for my sd1 
from a midi foot controller. I am experiencing some difficulty in 
that the sequencer will not advance to the next sequence, with the 
midi command, while playing. Are there some settings I am over 
looking, or is it not possible to change sequences in this manner.  
I would like to change sequences without having to double click the 
soft button.
Thanks,
Scott

That's where song mode comes in, you will need to select song mode and setup which seq will play and in what order and repetition.

You can also select to mute certain tracks.. i.e., You can have certain 
tracks in the sequence that don't play everytime the sequence is used. 
This saves duplicating sequences where only track changes are needed, or 
where you wish to add, say, extra instruments, but only in the last 
verses, or perform an instrumental track, ... these tracks are muted 
when not required. (You can also transpose chosen tracks, whilst, say, 
leaving drum tracks intact.)

You have 12 Tracks for each sequence, which you then string together as 
a song, whilst muting the occasional track. Then, with the song 
compiled, you have an additional 12 Tracks that run the length of the 
whole song, giving you a total of 24 tracks. You may decide to use one 
of the tracks to store system information such as volume controls, etc., 
for automated playback, or you may use tracks for sending midi to 
external sound effects for your band, or your guitars, so that, say, 
distortion kicks in at certain points, for guitar, and different reverbs 
for vocals. You should be able to automatically change the program 
instrument(s) you play live, whether on the SD1, or on another keyboard, 
and change programs in, say, electronic drumset, automatically on cue, 
including adjusting the volumes, if you have one sound, or sound effect, 
louder.

Hope this helps....
