VFX/SD-1 Specs & Information

VFX/SD-1 Specs & Information

2006-02-15 by swomp_rabbit

To Moderator/Owner & Group Members..….

I was preparing to upload the information discussed below but after 
checking the available upload space of the group decided to hold off 
for the moment. This upload would use some 3.3 Meg of the remaining 
3.6 Meg available. I did not feel comfortable using the remaining 
space unless so directed. If the "Moderator" or "Owner" can suggest 
an alternate method of making this info available to the Group I 
will get it posted - assuming any interest in such information.

My original message follows:

********************************************************************
As we all know of recent there has been a lot of discussion with 
regard to upgrades and tech information with regard to the VFX's and 
SD-1's. I do not have a lot of information but am going to post what 
little info I do have in the files section. I am an original owner 
of both a VFX-SD and SD-1 and perhaps some of this info can at least 
be referenced from a historical/educational standpoint.

Hopefully others of you who have access to some of the original 
specifications and information can do the same. I will be posting 
mine in `jpeg' files in a size format I consider easy to read.

I will be starting two new "Main Folders" in the file section of our 
group as designated below:
 
1.  VFX Specs & Info

2.  SD-1 Specs & Info

Here are the documents I have which I will then be posting under the 
applicable folder:

1.  Ensoniq Authorized Repair Stations (1987)

Note: I realize how very obsolete the `authorized repair station' 
information is, however it may help some who are close to those old 
repair stations since some may still do general equipment repair or 
have electronic techs still on the job who may have actually 
performed work on the Ensoniq units.

2.  VFX Spec Sheet (Flyer)

3.  VFX-SD Spec Sheet (Flyer)

4.  VFX-SD OS Version 1.3 Upgrade Info

5.  SD-1 32-Voice Manual Spec Sheet

If there is any problem with how I have organized this information, 
the Group Moderator can organize the info to their liking if 
necessary. The group itself will have to make this section worth 
anything or not.

I use to have a lot of the very old Transoniq Hacker newsletters 
also but I threw them away at some point just like my all my old 
baseball cards from the late 1940's thru the mid 1950's and I will 
just leave that `snafu' to your own imagination…..Grrrrrr! :)

Later…..
