Patches and discussion for Ensoniq VFX family

I apologize for getting verbose.  I actually thought that I pared it
down pretty good....Once again I apologize.

Yeah, I would not get rid of my SD synths, I have really come to rely
on them, especially the one I use for live stuff.  There is still so
much those VFX-SD synths can do...

Regarding the items, especially the D-110 units, I was hoping that
they had moreof a 'unison' mode for full polyphony.  My problem is
that whenever I use them with the SD sequencer, they reset themselves
and I have to program them all over again.  When I use them at church,
they are fine, but I was really looking to layer with them and it has
been a hassle more than anything.  So, I figured that I would clean
them up and  unload them.

I have been building my collection for a long time, but it is time to
start selling some of them off to make room for other stuff. 
Initially I wanted just a couple of VFX machines, and after 15 years,
I finally have them (but had to mass over 25 synths to try to get the
sound that the two alone have)....

Well, if anyone is interested in any of it, send me a message and
we'll talk.

Claus, I have not even listed the studio side of things, that may make
for drooling, for sure....

Thank you for the additional info on the D-110 thing.  I am glad that
it works on your end though.  I am not sure why either.  I have two of
the D-110 units and so I am pretty sure that it is not 'Roland'
specific.  I also tried to delete all controller information from the
song(s) on the VFX, just to see if it was getting a wierd character,
and the problem still exhibited itself.  I wish there was a unison
mode for the D-110, because I do like the electric piano sounds in
them and can make neat stuff.

I also ran into problems when using the E-Mu PK6 with one of the VFX
units MIDIed into it (where the E-mu was sending controller
information).  the E-Mu has a beats mode where it has pre-programmed
beats and I liked to trigger the bass and drum sounds for additional
fullness for ideas.  When the E-mu was turned on and I then turned on
the VFX, I got an system error and it would re-initialize itself,
until I unplugged the cable from the MIDI In port on the VFX.  then,
it booted up just fine.  It must have been the constant MIDI clock
message being sent from the E-mu.

That is fine, because the only two sounds I am really missing from the
VFX are the violin and cross stick sounds.  I use my SQ1+ for the
violins and use the JV-880 synths for the cross stick.  Everything
else is in the VFX units.

Well, again, thank you for letting me post, and I do apologize for
getting verbose on my gear list.  I will try to post some pics
tomorrow with the VFX synths in action....
