Hey thanks I didn't know there was another 'overflow' group to this 
one.  I definitely plan on collecting all the patches I can find, and 
I hope that I can get my head around programming some patches 
myself.  I also hope I can program up a template for the Peavey PC-
1600x fader box to access some of the VZ's parameters more easily, 
but I just got the PC-1600x and haven't got very proficient with it 
yet.  I was hoping I'd find a VZ template to download for it 
somewhere but so far I haven't found one.  I did read somewhere that 
the VZ transmits all its patch data at once rather than having the 
ability to edit individual parameters remotely, so that might hinder 
the usability of an external fader box for editing the VZ but I guess 
I won't find out until I roll up my sleeves and give it a try.
