- Welcome to the second volume of the Dutch Masters' Library for the
- Ensoniq VFX/VFX-SD. We have been working diligently to craft high-quality
- patches for the VFX. We hope you will enjoy them.
- This volume has been uploaded in compressed format to save space and to
- make it convenient for you, the user, to have all six new sounds at one time.
- A common question that I receive from new users is "How do I get these
- sounds from my disk to the VFX?" Since the Ensoniq disk format is not
- IBM compatible it is necessary to do a MIDI transfer to the VFX. This
- assumes that you have a MIDI link to your synth. It also assumes that you
- have the proper software to perform the transfer. There are a variety of
- packages available in the various libraries on the MIDI forum that can do
- the job for you. The way I do it is to use the Cakewalk 4.0 demo package
- available in the Demo library. In the System Exclusive section of the main
- menu you can load patches from disk into their librarian and then use the
- Send feature to transmit the patch to the synth. If you are using another
- software package then you should know that all Dutch Masters' .VFX files are
- simply system exclusive messages that transmit the patch data to the synth.
- Once the file is in the synth your VFX display will show the name of the
- patch. The VFX is holding the new patch in the compare buffer and is waiting
- for you to specify where you wish the patch to go. Press the bank button
- that you wish to store the patch to and hold it. Then press the soft button
- to indicate which of the six slots you wish to write the patch to.
- That's all there is to it! If you like Cakewalk then I suggest you
- purchase a copy of it. The wholesale price was recently reduced to $105...
- that $45 off list. I got my copy through Soundware (800-333-4554). I don't have any affiliation with Twelve Tone Systems
- and I don't receive any commissions. I simply think it's a good product.
- Your opinion may differ. So be it.
- All Dutch Masters' patches are prepared using Turtle Beache's Oview for
- the Ensoniq VFX/VFX-SD. This is an EXCELLENT product. For a peek at what
- it can do for you check out the demo in the demo lib. Again, I have no
- obligation to Turtle Beach...I just use their product.
- The purpose of the Dutch Masters' Library is to encourage conversation
- and the free-exchange of ideas about the VFX. I think it's a great synth.
- The Library is public-domain, free of charge. Feel free to pass it on to
- other BBS'es.
- I enjoy talking with other VFX owners. Since I am unable to log on to
- Compuserve that often, the best way to reach me is through Compuserve Mail.
