No ZD2 modules in ACOUSTIC category

[nomadbyte]

There seem to be no ZD2 modules which reference ACOUSTIC category. Where does this category (and its id) originate from?

I figured that this came from the V6/V6-SP vocal processor's effect exploration done in issue #37.

However in ZD2 content the category seems to be named VOCAL (id = 0x1D = 29). In addition to that, some of the V6-specific effects appear to have a different category id taxonomy which conflicts with the one used with G Series.

IIRC this came from the FW of the AC-2 and AC-3 pedals.

Note: decode_effect.py does not work at present on these ZD2, it looks like they are missing some blocks compared to the other ZD2s.

Reading ./AC-3_Win_v1.10_E/zt2/FLST_SEQ.ZT2...

Yep, if you want to decode them you can comment out the following...

Just as I mentioned in #37, it appears that the category-id: 0x1D = 29 is internally referenced in ZD2 modules as BUILT_IN. This applies at least to G-model, B-model, V-model (all of it's modules appear to have this reference).

In particular, with G-model and B-model the only modules in this category so far are the BDL modules: (G_OUT_EQ.BDL, B_OUT_EQ.BDL). These are not directly referenced in FLST_SEQ.ZT2, not sure if they are uploadable. Well, B1 FOUR actually has both of these but G1 FOUR has only the G file.

As for the AC-3, indeed, its ZD2 is somewhat different (missing parameter description sections PRMJ/PRME) but otherwise is very much similar. All of the AC-3 modules reference the category (0x1D = 29) as AG.EFX.
