Is there anyone in Europe selling his SD-1? I heard the SD-1 was the first
model being reliable with no crashes and not too many bugs.   What's your
experinece?

My only problem was the "calibration error", but i had it on service 
and now its working good. I havent used the synth so much because i 
had some synthmodules connected to it, I only used the clavier.

Re: [Ensoniq-VFX-SD] Im selling my VFX SD II

Hello Hans,

I have an SD1 32voice, not for sale, however I can confirm it rarely 
ever crashes. I have had it for 10 years, or so, and it crashes maybe 
once, or twice a year. I have never changed that internal battery, they 
tell you lasts 5 years.

Having worked up though the different VFX range, since early 1990, in 
Vancouver, with the first and second generation VFX's (Leasing them), 
then using the first generation SD1 in Seattle, 1991, and now the 32 
voice since 1992, which I bought.

I had major crashes with the first VFX, the second one still crashed a 
fair bit, but at the time, there wasn't anything like it. (Except the 
Korg M1 that I had previously been using in Arizona. but Memory cards 
were a hundred US dollars each, I think, so I used it with a Roland 
MC500 sequencer).

As for the SD1, there weren't as many crashes.

But as for the 32voice SD1, this is fantastic. When I first got it, when 
I was converting my older disks to 32 voice, there were a fare number of 
crashes, but since doing so, it has been close to perfect. (Having said 
that, if you non formatted disk in, or a faulty one, the SD1 or VFX may 
crash shortly, if you don't do a soft reset, by holding down preset, and 
pressing the top right black "Soft" button above the screen. As I always 
do this after a bad disk, I don't normally get crashes.

I use 4.10 software.

All the Best...
