Patches and discussion for Ensoniq VFX family

Rich,
 
I've  experienced a similar problem and was related to the Mod wheel.  It
may be getting flaky, too, which I think is what you suggesting.
 
It seems like you by-passed the problem with hardware, but you can bypass
the issue with software, by turning off where it shows *MOD* in the parms on
each of the active sound elements of your patch - then save the patch.
 
I don't use the mod wheel for much, so I haven't put much effort into
replacement - but the next step would be trying to clean with a compatible
contact cleaner (for inside the potentiometer or equivalent device) or
replace.
 
Rodney

Subject: [Ensoniq-VFX-SD] SD-1 going out of tune


Hi,

I went to rehearsal last nite and my SD-1 started going out of 
tune.  I checked the tune parameters under the MASTER button and it 
was set to 0.  It would go up and down in tune and then settle in at 
a 1/2 step low (play an E and it would sound like and Eb)

I opened the top cover today, and disconnected the power ribbon 
cable that plugs into the left most circuit board, just for the odd 
chance that it was dirty.

It has been stable for a few hours now, but I have a gig coming up 
in a few weeks and im worried it will act up again.

Anyone see this problem?  Any fix?  could it have been dirty power 
at the rehearsal? At home it seems ok again...

Thanks
Rich
