Patches and discussion for Ensoniq VFX family

All in all,,,,rather confusing.  Reminds me of a
school I went to called Basic Data Recovery.  I left
there drooling due to brain shut  down.  Actually the
disk I was referring to was one I got with the SD1 but
I haven't checked it to see if it's a double sided or
not.  It doesn't appear to be the original.  I'll
check it out.  I can see right now that I'm not going
to have my beloved keyboard up and running in the next
couple days.  At least the other funtion's working and
I can still at least play it even if I can't do my
sequences.  Thanks.
