As far as know, 2.10 was the latest sequencer version for the VFXsd. 1.37 was the earlier version. You can download the correct sequencer version from; http://hometown.aol.com/mishon66/ensoniqpage.html�but you will need Geiblers' software to write it to a floppy so you can install it on the VFXsd. I have Geiblers software and recomend it.�Mission 66��also allows you to purchase the disc for $7.45 I think, which icludes shipping.This shold get you up and running.

Hello, Miles!
I am a happy owner of two VFX-SD's and a SD-1. If you have a disk with OS version 4.1, that is for the SD-1 and will not work in a VFX-SD. The disk you need should say Sequencer OS Version 2.10. This is the latest version.( I am looking at my disk as I write.) Now I am quoting from the owner's manual: " The VFX-SD Sequencer Operating System (or O.S.) is the computer program which controls the operation of the sequencer." " If some unforseen event or system error should corrupt the sequencer memory, the VFX-SD will flash SEQUENCER MUST BE LOADED whenever you press any of the buttons in the Sequencer section of the front panel." Then it proceeds to tell you how to load the sequencer.
to load the sequencer from disk:
insert disk containing the most current sequencer OS into disk drive
press STORAGE, then DISK
press LOAD the display is showing the disk load page, with file type selected
move the data entry slider all the way up to select TYPE=SEQUENCER OS
the display will show: ; LOAD FILE=VERSION 2.10 SIZE=63 *YES*
;
TYPE=SEQUENCER-OS *NO*
press yes the display will say SEQUENCER DATA WILL BE ERASED so if you think there is anything written in the sequencer you would want to keep, save it to disk before you begin to load ( I don't think this will be an issue for you).
press *YES* the display will say LOADING VERSION ##
I hope this will help you. When you load the OS version you ARE loading the sequencer. SEQUENCER VERSION 2.10
Wish you the best, Sandy Lane
