Powerful Digital Synth with polyphonic aftertouch, complex envelopes for sounds that can evolve
over time and built-in effects like reverb, delay, chorus, rotary speaker simulation and flanger. It has
120 internal sounds (Programs) (60 ROM & 60 RAM) and 40 Preset
Following up on the heels of the ESQ-1 and SQ-80 synths from Ensoniq comes the VFX with more
polyphony and waveforms. The VFX allows for PPG-like synthesis using a sort of wavetable
synthesis. This puts it into a unique class of digital synthesizers along with the PPG Wave series,
Waldorf Microwave series, and Ensoniq SD-1, SQ-80, ESQ-1, and Fizmo.
The VFX has 21 voices of polyphony. A single patch can contain up to 6 of 109 waves in its ROM
memory that can be combined and layered. Advanced and analog-like synth parameters including its
dual multi-mode digital filters, three 11-stage envelopes, LFO, and 15 modulation sources allow you
to further shape and morph your sounds. There's even a built-in 24-bit VLSI dual effects processor
with reverb, chorus, flanging, and delay.
The VFX has a standard 61-note keyboard with velocity and polyphonic aftertouch. The synth also
has full MIDI implementation with 12 channels for multitimbral functions. The VFX has a cartridge
port as well, for storing sounds onto Ensoniq's proprietary media. The VFX is a digital synth and,the VFX makes some sweet strings and textural sounds!
It has been used by Front 242, Rick Wakeman, Nick
Rhodes, Tony Banks, Peter Vettese, T Lavitz, Jonathan Cain (Bad English, Journey), Richard Barbieri
and Oscar Peterson.
