Patches and discussion for Ensoniq VFX family

Thanks for the offer Rich, but I would like to report that the sticky button 
operation was a...success!! Took me about 25 to 30 minutes total including 
removal of not too much dust inside the unit.

Thank you Jim for those very handy step by step instructions, would never 
have popped the hood unless I had those!!

I was able to pull the sticky "soft key" out which was wedged in there with 
a pretty gross looking waxy buildup all around the sides of the button. They 
all sit loose in their respective holes.

The sounds button was gripping with some buildup around it too, I found a 
needle nose set of pliers worked well to gingerly hold down those delicate 
"hooks" on the button just enough to get them to clear the opening.

I scraped the buildup off with a fingernail, washed with soap and water, 
dried them off, reinstalled them, and they felt as good as new.

Thanks again everyone for the help,

Rob D.
