Ensoniq VFX-SD on the road
2009-10-25 by jstopa1955
Hello, I've purchased the Ensoniq VFX-SD back in the early 90's and have been using it in many bands throughout the years and recently in a new act called SeeQuence. www.seequenceband.com I am using it live as a sequencer driving it's internal sounds and playing it live. The sequencer drives an Alesis D4 Drum module and an Alesis Nano Bass module. I also use a Yamaha P-200 Piano and play a Taylor and Breedlove acoustic guitar in the show. I had implemented the keyboard modification (1998), and had the soft buttons replaced.... probably due to the excessive use when programing the sequencer. The only strange problem I have experienced twice.... is the synth went electrically dead. The outside fuse was OK, and it turned out that 2 of the six internal fuses were open. I replaced them once and 5 years later it happen again. I now replaced them with a slo-blo type thinking bad power???? caused an intermittent inrush current surge???? Has anyone ever experienced this?????? jimstopa
