Patches and discussion for Ensoniq VFX family

hello everybody,

since last saturday i am super happy vfx-sd user (i intended to buy one and found it incidantally on a fleamarket). 
i am a little bit confused regarding the version. i read in a german e-zine (amazona.de) that the latest vfx-sd ii version features an additional effect (<chor/dis/rev>). actually mine does have  <dis/chor/rev> (slightly different order) as the last effect in the list. in addition, it has the 2.0 os installed and the sequencer expansion (also included on disk). so is it the vfx-sd ii mark?

what is the last effect in a conventional vfx-sd, is it <dirt/roto/del> as stated in the manual?

are there mechanical differences between the vfx-sd and the sd1? the keyboard chassis seems to be very sensitive regarding tensions. i am afraid to lift the synth..

thanks in advance! sorry for this (dumb?) questions - i am new to this machines and this nice place here. regarding the vfx i think it is love on the first sight..

cheers,
r7
