Ensoniq VFX SD

All t adj (good) said.

UTILIZATION

I do not have the manual but I am accustomed to a great Ensoniq. The edition with the ergonomics of the brand could not be easier!

SOUNDS

Sound, aaahhh ... Trs typ Ensoniq or more: one can easily numriques great atmosphere. This would this famous wavetable "TRANSWAVE". Just one example: we take the wave "pulse 1" and the module is 99% with an average speed LFO / slow (20), you follow my eyes? With only one voice as a program, just a small rverbe room and there is ... And there are still two voices available!
In my humble opinion, it is mainly based on the synthetic waveforms and re-create the atmosphere "original" of the vintage, it is the he excels. Compared with contemporary instruments, it is still well in the trs Creations / numriques analog formulations. And then he really is he the grain, which is the most important.
I use it for times / Toto-style composed Journey, and it is compltement cohrent.

OVERALL OPINION

I just acqurir the (late 2011) but I dj used extensively in the years to the VFX 90-2000. I had then swapped with a friend, dcourag by the famous problem of "calibration" ...
The one I found is in very good state, with some bugs inhrents eprom version (1.37). So I prvoirai backup disks before going scne.
It is empty in case of misfortune, I would look in another or a SD1 or TS10.

This synth is my favorite among the synth equivalent ... I find it beautiful, ergonomic, and of course, what's, what fish!
I've never had a bug and he always followed without problems. Its interface is very well thought out, with American, a button, a function (or almost!)
The sound is low on fat, air and clear the ground, very dynamic drum kits, pianos and electric classic and brilliant color to a unique sound ... The sound banks are many and if you dive in editing the sounds, it's a pleasure, finally I love this synth and general Ensoniq ... now I have two in my set of synths because it really is the synth that I use most ... I am feeling with this machine, I play it more easily than on other synths!?
I must have the bowl because I just bought a second and I did not bug!

UTILIZATION

Editing is really great for a digital, even to this day, I think it is still the best despite his age ... Ensoniq philosophy on this was really a plus compared to machines Nipponese is undeniable. The first that I was 90, I hardly used the manual except for the sequencer!

SOUNDS

Sound: While there, this synth for me is mythical even if it is less known than the DX7 and the d50, it has incredible sound .... I get to make ultra soft pad and air with the grain Ensoniq is round, it's hot, + the d50 in my opinion!
The bass sounds are incredible stacked up to 3 and 2 seconds, one at the sound!

The touch keyboard is worse than its competitors but I think there is no problem so the sounds you stick to the keyboard ..... and spend hours!

There's also good sounds that make squeaker squeaker, but have all the synths!

OVERALL OPINION

1 in 90! I bought one there two years and another in October 2009 ... I keep::
