Vanilla VFX

2014-02-01 by musicwithharry

So I just got a vanilla Ensoniq VFX today.  That makes my total count so far 7.  Six of them work and I have an SQ2/32 that I am re-building.

I actually did not spent a penny on the VFX today because I traded some gear that actually got me a $30 check from the music store :)  I like it when things work out like that.

It does not have a battery low message and the keyboard seems fine.  Is there anything I need to know about it that I may not be aware of?  I have lots of experience with VFX and SQ1/2/r Ensoniq synths but wanted to throw it out there anyway if there was something I may not have looked at.  

I got it home and cleaned it up well and it plays great.

I am going to try sending the INT from my VFX-SD over to it via sysex pretty soon because I do not have any cartridges for either VFX.  I have the sounds for my VFX-SD on floppy and there are lots of sounds I want the VFX to have.  Plus, the ROM and INT are identical right now so it's either been reset or whatever...

Grace, 
Harry
