Patches and discussion for Ensoniq VFX family

Thanks, figured out the poly pressure issue.  I thought the Master 
parameter "TOUCH=SOFT1" was for velocity scaling of the keyboard.  
Turns out I do indeed have polyphonic aftertouch.  I still have to 
learn to adjust to the VFX tho, as my Alesis keyboards seem more 
natural and smooth to respond versus the VFX's response.

As for the BC2000 template, I have a BCF2000 instead (the one with 
faders instead of only rotary encoders.  I think I will go ahead and 
get a BCR as well.  Your VFX template should help me learn the fast 
track to programming the BCR, which I can then transfer over to the 
BCF.
