Patches and discussion for Ensoniq VFX family

Way back when, you could buy an upgrade through your dealer.  The way it worked was that you brought in your VFX-SD and a bunch of money.  The dealer sent it off to Ensoniqland and you waited.  After a period of time, your VFX-SD returned with a new SD-1 main board installed in place of the original VFX-SD board.  Also, the keyboard calibration error 'fix' was applied, if necessary.  At this point, the instrument was a VFX-SD in label only -- it now contained the heart and soul of an SD-1.

That said, a 'converted' VFX-SD uses the sequencer OS and patches from the SD-1 (version 4.x, I think).
