Patches and discussion for Ensoniq VFX family

I'm also an original VFXsd owner - got mine somewhere between 12/89 and 
4/90, according to my old mail at EMUSIC-L. Did an entire CD, 
"Shatterday", on just the VFXsd with the internal sequencer. It's also 
all over the place on Team Metlay's "Ballistic" album, which I was 
fortunate enough to play on as well.

It's still my axe of choice. Bought an SD-1 last year for $300, so now 
I have both and am very very happy.

Joe-

I just listened to 4 x 30sec clips of the Shatterday album on the Tower Record site....great stuff....I want to buy it.  And now I know my VFX can make all those relaxing and sad sounds when a talented captain is at the helm.....

I go way back, I owned an Ensoniq Mirage for a short time that I 
purchased from a friend then sold it. As soon as the Esq-1 came out I 
purchased one of them had if for a long time before selling it. I 
never had a lick of trouble with it. I then purchased an SQ-80 which I 
had for some time, no problems with it. I then went to work at a music 
shop. They had an incentive going on that if you sold 10 EPS you would 
win one. I sold 30, with that I got the EPS-M and an EPS. I still have 
them both. They had another incentive. Sell VFX-SD and win one. I 
still have my VFX-Sd, never had problems with either EPS or VFX-SD 
(other than software updates for Sequencer. I then found an esq-m for 
cheap which I still have. Within the last year I bought a TS-10. I 
recently lost my OS backup disks for my VFX-SD and corrupted the one I 
kept with it which is why I joined this group, I am hoping someone out 
there can make a copy or show me how to format, download the os on a 
PC. I love my VFX-SD the most because I can sequence with it better 
than even the TS-10. This is my first post so I have not read many 
posts but if someone can point me in the right direction as to get an 
OS disk for my VFX I would greatly appreciate it.
