Patches and discussion for Ensoniq VFX family

I will call you tomorrow. Thanks again for the help.

The banks seem to be intact. The problem sounds are in the piano-sound (every piano wave), drum-sound, and multi-drum wave categories. Everything else works fine.

I was wrong about the mega-piano patch. In bank 0 of the "internal" sounds, the second sound is mega-piano. Since these are writable, I don't think that means much.

The megapiano is a series of percussion hits followed by about 5 seconds of snare hits. Also, the sine-wave has a noticeable click upon release.
