Patches and discussion for Ensoniq VFX family

I want to buy some Programmable EEPROM Cartridges for the SD-1 from 
Cesium Sound. Does anyone out there know how many sound banks each 
one can carry (so I can decide whether to get them with or without 
sounds)? Do they fit into the normal cartridge slot? What 
advantage do I have using them instead of disk-drive disks? Please 
help.  Chokani.

One cartridge stores 60 sounds and 20 presets. The programmable EEPROMs
can be overwritten, i.e. you can store any sounds and presets you want.
The sounds that come with the cartridge can be written to INT and then
saved to disk. That way you could restore the original content of the
cartridge any time.
The storage scheme is: DISK <-> INT <-> CART
The advantage of a programmable cartridge is that you have an additional
set of sounds and presets while sounds on disk have to be loaded to INT
before you can use them.

I hope this helps
Hans
