Can the SQ80 import Ensoniq VFX presets?

I tried importing a few, while it does not fail and does seem to import a preset, it doesn’t play and looks blank. Should this be possible?

Hi @bleep. Welcome to the community.

The manual mention SQ80 only. So i don’t think you can import VFX sounds.
I also think the VFX was quite different. So the results could be very different if.

It can import SQ80 and ESQ1 sysex files. Search the web and there are some links to a large collection of each. I downloaded them some time ago and used them as jumping off points in patch creation. Note: when some are imported, they are panned to one of the stereo channels and you need to centre them.
