Synth Stuff Ep. 37 - Ensoniq VFX-SD


Published on Apr 15, 2018 tritonrecordings

"The VFX was an upgrade from the likes of the ESQ-1. The 'SD' version added a sequencer and probably competed with the Korg M1. Like most digital synths like these, they are great pad machines - some patches remind me of the Wavestation. The orchestral/acoustic sounds haven't aged well but they don't sound bad...they just sound very 80s. They are cheap enough to make them worth checking out if you come across one and want some of that digital character in your arsenal."

    Great sounding synth but I've had 3 (2 x VFX SD and 1 x VFX) and over time they've all had pretty major issues with the keyboard and / or power.. If you have one that works consistently, that's fantastic. Enjoy!
