Patches and discussion for Ensoniq VFX family

OK, first off, forgive me for not reading the post history and
repeating known info if these videos are available on the 'net
somewhere already, but I'm really excited at the moment.  I'm a new
owner of an Ensoniq VFX (and have owned an SQ-80 and ESQ-1 in the
past) and I've won the following VFX-related videos on eBay:

If anyone has a recommendation for a video capture card that works
with Vista I'd be more than happy to digitize these videos and make
them available on YouTube or one of my own websites.

I'm also the webmaster for SoundProgramming.net, which is a free
synthesizer manual repository.  Unfortunately for both me and the site
I haven't found a copy, either digital or paper, of the VFX manual
(though many other Ensoniq models are represented).

It seems that it's a big hole in the world that there's no
widely-available VFX manual on the 'net, so if anyone would be willing
to loan one or direct me to somewhere that one could be purchased at a
reasonable price I'd be more than happy to spend the time to scan a
copy for those less fortunate (or new un-manualled owners).

Cheers,
Xangis

when I tried to watch them. The copy quality is so poor that the 
display is completely unreadable, even on a high def TV and good 
quality VCR, so in order to follow the narrative I have to start and 
stop through the video while I try to replicate his moves on my own 
synth. He added the disclaimer to his ebay page about how they are 
copies after I complained to him.
