Patches and discussion for Ensoniq VFX family

The older the series got the less sensitive the poly after touch 
(poly AT) became, try the original VFX and then try the VFXSD next 
try the SD1.

You will see they all have poly AT but the older unit's were more 
responsive, after some research I found that the KBC software ver 
advanced each time. So I am testing out the latest/last version from 
a VFX (there were several) I will post my findings shortly...I have a 
feeling this might be the answer to better poly AT.

(after he used for  9 months) When he had it, it crashed on him. The 
standard repair here in DK was the change of the whole motherboard to 
a 21 voice SD-1.
