Re: [Ensoniq-VFX-SD] Digest Number 773

Hello all, Thank you for the consideration on the 'Original User' category. I may not have owned the board officially for that 1.5 years, but I went through all of the calibration errors and longing foro the instrument when we had to send it in for repair. To add merit to my 'case': After my friend left with the VFX for his new job and life with his family, I started building my studio, all-the-while, looking for a VFX (I even tried to buy his, but he would not sell it). I bought about 20 boards and still was not happy until I finally got the VFX in October 2004. The reason I bought my SQ-2 was because it was essentially a 3-sound VFX. On albums from 1993, 1994, and 1995, it took 5 boards to do what I initially did on the just the VFX. Now, I have 9 boards, and 3 of them are Ensoniqs (two being the VFX-SD). I think that we all have an instrument that we hold dear, and mine is the VFX-SD. Even though it is electronic and 'cold' in nature, it makes such musical sounds and I feel connected when playing it. It is truly my favorite synth. It is too bad that Ensoniq got bought out, but am glad that I have a part of synth history with the Ensoniq synths. They truly had their own sound that made them great. Thank you again, Harry Ebbeson III PS: I currently own the following and use them in every song: Alesis QS6 E-Mu PK-6 Ensoniq SQ-2 32 Voice Ensoniq VFX-SD (two of these) Korg X5 Roland JV-880 Roland XP60 Yamaha TG-33 Roland VG-8 (for my strat) Anyway, the Ensoniq still gets top billing in my studio. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
