RESULTS - Re: Well, how about an old ensoniqs VFX and sysex control???

2008-05-25 by k5kip_1999

Hey...
I have the vanilla VFX no sd or sdII.
I have the midi base chans set to 1 no 0 option.
Alright, Royce, I will play around with midiquest to see if i can get
ANY realtime control over a patch edit.  
If I do, then I will come back with more.
I am feeling very pessimistic at this point.  
I remember how often I got a crash out of midiquest and the vfx in the
past.
I will try some more, sigh!

Thanks for your time.
Maybe it's time for this thing to get the boot! 
The vfx that is...
