Mystery Islands VirusHC - Cannot See Patchbanks???
 

Hey guys,

With this social isolation going on I figured I'd take another stab at getting my Virus TI2 working in Ableton. In the past I've had issues with the TI plugin so I'm giving that up and trying out VirusHC again.

This time, I've mostly wrapped my head around it. MIDI is passing through the TI2 and I'm getting audio out of the correct outputs. Great! BUT...

I want to be able to load patches from my patchbanks, and save custom patches. With the TI plugin, this was easy as placing patchbanks in my computer's 'Library>Application Support>Access Music>Virus TI>Patches' folder, and dragging and dropping them in the VST.

Of course, I can't see any of this in VirusHC - I don't even think it's set up to view the path on my computer. I THINK it's set up to read from the RAM/ROM banks on the hardware only, is this correct?

So I've tried using the Virus Control Center app to flash the TI2's ROMs with patchbanks I particularly like, but I still can't see them in the VirusHC plugin. 'Request From ___' and 'Sync Data From HW' don't seem to do anything.

Furthermore, once I get this worked out I'd like to be able to save custom patches. Ideally the same way the TI plugin would work; saving them to a 'My Patches.mid' which would show up as a patchbank in the plugin. How do I do this in VirusHC, and where are the custom patches being saved to?

Thanks for your help!!!
