Patches and discussion for Ensoniq VFX family

Ok, I know it's bad form to reply to one's own post, but if people want a
standard platform to trade and find a sysex editor a little too bare, what
about SoundLib or its cousin vfxlib? I think they're from the same author.

Pluses:
 you can send banks in and out and see the program names. A sysex editor
won't be able to display the names because the data aside from header and
footer is nybblized; ie one byte 46 becomes two bytes 04 06.

you can build new banks fairly easily from your faves of other banks.

While the saved files are proprietary, not exactly sysex, they are saved
under the SoundLib or vfxlib directory, so no forgetting where on your multi
gig hard drive you put them.

Hoping to keep flame temp down,please,
the manicmaestro
