As you have the sysex info you should be able to write a preset to
control the VFX1.

Most synths allowed for individual parameters to be changed with a
sysex message. Some, as we have discovered, only allowed for a
complete preset to be sent by sysex.

I don't know the VFX, but if you're not too sure about sysex, scan the
sysex info and put it in the files section.
I have made a new folder "Sysex Data". Drop it in there and I'll have
a look..

In fact I would be very cool for you to start a library of sysex info
 for hardware.
I'll drop in what I have and every one else, feel free to add to the
files.

Go to the Wiki to get the basic info on how to program the BCR as well
as info on the .tx command in BCSecrets in the Documentation section.

)
In the files section...
You can grab Mark's editor if you don't like writing code or mine if
you do.
Grab a few of the other presets and have a look at. They are just text
files.
Use Mark's Midi Implementation to use as your reference.

Read some of the past messages. There have been quite a few folk, like
you, starting from scratch that have written presets for hardware synths.

I came here looking for the sysex info for the BCR - Behringer
wouldn't release it. Together we managed to sort most of it out.

Finally, post any problems back here.

I hope this helps you get started.
All the best
