Re: [Ensoniq-VFX-SD] upgrade and OS

The latest software version for the VFX-SD is the 3.00B. It also concists of a EPROM and SOUNDROM change. My VFX-SD was refitted with this back in 1990 after a fault in the original electronics.

Hi Rick!
Had the sequencer expander installed in my VFXSD.  Bought it from SYNTAUR PRODUCTIONS. It comes with installation instructions so you can do it yourself if you have the know-how. ( I had my local keyboard repair shop install mine.) The price of the expansion kit at that time was $99.95. You can contact SYNTAUR at:
 
     inside USA: (800) 334-1288
     foreign orders: (830) 627-1530
     Fax: (830) 627-1531
     internet: www.syntaur.com
     email: syntaur@...
Business hours are 9:30 - 5:30 central time, Monday - Friday
This place has manuals, o.s. disks, eproms, pedals,& sounds for VFX series & all other Ensoniq synths.
 
I'm sure you can get these things from Route 66 Studio also.
 
To answer your question regarding the O.S. version:  the latest VFXSD version is 2.1. And your older sequences will play just fine. And if you are ever so lucky enough to get an SD-1 ( the latest member of the VFX family ---  all your old sequences will play just fine on it too.
 
Wishing you the best,  Sandy Lane
