Patches and discussion for Ensoniq VFX family

Try doing this:
1.On the MIDI Control button: press twice to get to SYS-EX=ON or 
change it to SYS-EX=ON if it is SYS-EX=OFF
2.Press the TEST button in the left corner of Soundlib and the VFX 
should jump into EDIT Mode for that patch
3. You don't need to go into SYS-EX receive mode --- that is really 
for receiving SYS-EX dumps from other synths to store on the VFX-SD 
diskettes.
