Re: [Ensoniq-VFX-SD] Internal 4x expander Ram for the VFX/SD1 Series

2003-04-25 by Simon Rod.

It would be very nice (indeed) if these extra memory locations could be
accessible via midi pgm selections (i.e., bank select).

Even nicer if sequences using sounds from these extra locations can
correctly point to these extra locations. This would open up the range of
sounds for composition (or help establish a reasonable 'semi-permanent'
library) without having to keep shuffling the internal memory and cartridges
which would be a big advantage.

It seems that these mods could only be possible if you were modifying the
actual OS / program code in which case, wow!

Another question - would this mod still allow the cartridge slot to be
used - in addition to the 4 x RAM?

Regardless, I would be interested - price depending ofcourse..

allow the user to switch to either the cart slot or one of the other four
Ram banks.  It would be like having 4 extra carts available and you would
still be able to save to and from the 4 positions.
