Patches and discussion for Ensoniq VFX family

I see it on page 5-4, actually. :-)

And like I was saying before, I think *OFF* has been replaced by *EXT*
in up-to-date (vanilla) VFX firmware, to match the VFX-SD. Compare
pages 3-10 of both manuals, if you care to, then see what a VFX really
does.

(*OFF* wouldn't send or receive; *EXT* won't do anything on receive
but will send when you play the keyboard.)
