Patch select

Patch select

2007-01-09 by Neal

I've had my VFXsd for two years, and I still havn't figured out how to 
latch the patch select buttons. I mean if I want the both bottons down 
patch, how do I set it so i can take my left hand off the buttons? I 
feel kind of silly asking this because it's probably something really 
simple, but I really don't know the answer.

If I understand the question, on my SD I bring up the patch. Find the patch select button (one of the first nine group to the right of display). Press once. "LIVE" will appear. Pushing the "data entry" button (on left of display) will scroll thru the patch variants. IF you wish to save this setting, save as a patch, preset, or sequence. Hope this is what you were after.

AW: [Ensoniq-VFX-SD] Patch select

2007-01-10 by Hans Artmann

When you press Patch Select the HOLD setting is probably what you're looking for. You can then press one or two of the patch select buttons before you hit a key. Just hold the patch select button until you've actually hit the key. Then the VFX will keep the setting until choose another setting the same way or you press a patch select button without hitting a key which brings you back to 00. This way you can change patch select while playing and still use both hands.
The settings LIVE, HOLD, or one of the fixed settings are performance settings and not an element of the patch itself. So they can only be saved either with the preset or within MULTI/Track.
