Patches and discussion for Ensoniq VFX family

Hi,
I´m looking for a shareware/freeware tool to create, copy and merge 
VFX-SD disks on my PC. Does anybody know such a EDM-clone tool?
Is there a way to get sys-ex files to disk, so that my SD can read 
it, may be a converter or something like that?
Thanks,
Gisi

The process for recording, saving and transmitting sys-ex data received via
MIDI to disk are detailed starting on page 11-20 of the Musician's Manual.
In this manner, the VFX-SD can be used as a MIDI sys-ex storage device for
anything in your rig.  Cool.

If you've got program data in sys-ex format, and you want to transfer it to
disk, send it to the keyboard via MIDI using any sys-ex transfer utility,
then save the program(s) out to disk in native format.  The process for
receiving sys-ex program data via MIDI is on pages 11-13 thru 11-15.

This assumes a version 1.4 or later VFX-SD, and a Musician's Manual version
1.4.

Geren's explanations are interesting, but there is a
need to clarify the original question.

If you have a VFX-SD, a PC with a MIDI interface, then
of course you can load sounds from the floppy on the
VFX-SD and send it thru SysEx to the PC.

If you don't have a VFX-SD, or have a PC without a
MIDI interface, then you need to use an EDM-Clone to
copy/diskimage VFX-floppies.

If interested, I can write few lines on how WITHOUT a
VFX-SD and WITHOUT a Midi-interface, I
backup/fileimaged my old VFX-floppies (there is a
testfile in VFX-yahoo-files section).

users)
