Patches and discussion for Ensoniq VFX family

How do I transfer files from my PC to my Synth? Can I load the files 
on a floppy, or do I need a cable? Could someone please explain the 
process, and the meaning of the file extensions. What software do I 
need?

My synth is a VFX-SD. I have some *.syx files that I would like to 
put on my synth.

Sorry for the dumb questions, but I'm new to this.

Any help much appreciated.

Hi,

I'm not sure that VFX-SD disk drive can read *.syx files... I think you're better to use your soundcard from your PC. You need for this a MIDI cable to connect your VFX to your PC. If you want, I can send you vi e-mail a little software (in a *.zip format) which permits to send SysEx files from your PC to your synth. Let jsut me know...

Best regards,

Karm

Sequencers have a utility (Cakewalk Sonar called Sysx View) that lets send
files from PC to the synth. Try it's another option.

Thanks for the reply Fabio and Karm.

It appears I need a midi interface cable. There's ones that plug into 
USB and ones that plug into the midi port on your soundcard. Are some 
better than others, or will any do? There also seems to be a lot of 
different versions of "Cakewalk". Is 
'Cakewalk Pro audio 9" any good? Is Sonar better? What would you 
recommend? I would like to just download some sounds at the moment, 
but I might wannt to have a play later with some effects etc.

Regards
Allan

Allan,
I work with a standard midi interface since 10 years ago. Never give me
troublem. Now, I don't have experience with USB, so I can't tell you about
them.
Any sequencer that you said is OK. It's a matter of taste. Yes, there're
some features that don't have some of them, but generally speaking, all of
them are excelent options.
Now it's on line for free Cubasis Inwired. I downloaded yesterday and will
see how it works. Think of it too.
Best regards,
Fabio

Your use of Yahoo! Groups is subject to http://docs.yahoo.com/info/terms/

If you only want to transfer SyxEx banks to your
VFX-SD, no need for a sequencer program (Cubase or
CakeWalk). There are many utilities that do the job:
WinSysEx, FreeLoader... Check out www.hitsquad.com.
Lots of freewares.

For your info, I uploaded one floppy containing
personal sound banks on the www.egroups.com / VFX,
Files section. Use the EDE program to create the
readable floppy from the imagefile, and tell me what
you think about the patches !

Music@lly,

Fred
