Patches and discussion for Ensoniq VFX family

Looking to buy (rare and hard to find) RAM cartridge for Ensoniq VFX-
SD, VFX or SD-1. Only found one on eBay in 2 years. If anyone here has 
one or more they want to sell, please contact me. I prefer PayPal.

Thanks,
Dave

Just FYI, they're really EEPROM cartridges, not RAM cartridges.

If you can find an original Ensoniq ROM cart, there's this option I
wrote up a while back:  "Making an EEPROM Cartridge"

http://www2.pro-ns.net/~steve/vfxcart.html

I do have to say I changed my mind about whether to recommend putting
in a socket, though.  Last year I forgot to put the cartridge where I
usually pack it, and just put it in my pocket for a few days.  I ended
up zapping the memory part.  Because I used a socket, I just popped in
a new chip and I was up and running again...

Hello Ensoniq users, How about maybe getting together a list of 
sounds, programs and other cool patches to share? Maybe we can start a 
shareware list? I have come across some pretty cool sounds and have 
some old Transoniqe Hackers issues from the 90's. There are some 
programs in there for some really cool sounds that you can program, if 
you have the patience. It would be nice to be able to download from 
this site some patches, or programs to share with others. But if we 
are going to do this, maybe you can share some of yours as well if you 
have any. These keyboards are very versatile and have some awesome 
sounds, hopefully we can start a catalogue of sounds available here on 
this site if it would allow. Does this site have the capability to do 
so? I would like to get the upgrade chip that allows you to use 
more    polyphonics. Sometimes my memory runs out and some of the 
instruments drop out. I have not downloaded any sounds from the net, 
but would like to try it sometime. Can we do this with a 3.5 floppy?

thanks
Ed

Talk is cheap. Use Yahoo! Messenger to make PC-to-Phone calls. Great rates starting at 1\ufffd/min.

good idea. Ive made some killer patches eg  60's gibson vibrato, sitar,
banjo,  etc.  how would we upload?
