VFX contact established, issues remain.

Royce,
Here is the .tx I edited based on the screen dump.

.tx $F0 $0F $05 $00 $00 $00 $00 $01 $00 $02 $00 13 $00 1 $00 $00
val4.7 val0.3 $F7

Contact established we have contact!

Now, I can't be playing a note while I adjust the control or it will
error out. I get the "Midi sys-ex receive error press any key to
continue."
No wait, I take that back, I can't be playing multiple notes.
Hmm... trying to isolate when it errors out.
When I hold a note, it will let me tweak the knob!!!!
Yeah.  But sometimes it still errors out.
Weird...
Progress!
Now - advice on how to add more?
You have seen my sysex, where should I go next in terms of funkyness
to deal with?

Thanks bunch,
Cheers!
Kip
