However, I'm wondering if those patch select functions can be 
accessed via MIDI. That way, I could use a MIDI foot controller for 
that function, leaving both hands free to play....

the VFX - an all around awesome controller - even today. The only 
issue I have with using the foot pedal for the patch selects or other 
features was that you then lost the sustain pedal! I have often 
considered openeing the VFX up and running a seperate jack up to the 
patch select buttons, freeing the sustain pedal.

It sure would have been nice to make that a voice level, sequence or 
preset level function rather than a global.

Speaking of controllers, has anyone ever looked at stacking two VFX's 
together to make a good hammond(module) controller?
