Patches and discussion for Ensoniq VFX family

What are you're experiences with the Ensoniq VFX-SD

Thanx,

Roy

oh, it's quite an powerful machine
with:
+ good sounds in the analog & digital domain
+ useful on board sequencer up to to most important edit tasks & live
situations
+ cool FX-Section (the ''seed" of  famous DP4-Units :-)
+ patch select (=variation) buttons
+ acceptable keys
+ max 6. sound source in on patch

on the downside:
- only seven voices using a six source patch
- no resonance filters (boo!)
- no voice data edit of sequencer voices (double boo!)
- my machine seems to be an exeception
 but it tends to crash in some locations
due to fluctuations in local electricity
systems (?!?) (not in my studio, lucky me :-)

bye,
michael

I agree with all the points in the previous post. I would personally 
add :

+ powerful transwaves sound programming
+ 'super-great' keyboard feel. Unbreakable !!
+ simple 2 or more sounds layer: *double-click and play'
+ interesting 2 patch buttons features near the wheels
+ high output level

and

- no possibility to import samples
- very noisy effect processor
- VERY bad reliability
- no graphical LCD screen for sound editing
- No possibility to name presets

I believe that the TS10 can overcome most the minus points.

Just my $.02,

Fred
