Factory Reset For Virus KC

[Previs Spann]

OK...

So I downloaded all the cool sound sets from the Access site...
But now I have destroyed all of the origional factory presets!!!
What can I do to restore all the origional patches on my synth?

My Virus is in total disarray... I have tried to locate the origional sounds.
Yet the factory set up is not available for download, only expanded sets.

Is there a factory reset or a place to download the origional banks???

Page 56 of the Virus C User Manual.

"Reset.:

It should be fine.

:wink:

I have tried reset several times...

This will restore the global factory settings, but not the sounds.

Hmmmmm...

It worked on mine but I had not loaded any new banks to my KC yet.

Maybe someone else knows.

I freaked out after I mangled my banks the first time after trying to modify the sounds and the reset function did the trick.

Good luck, mate! 8)

You can download the factory soundset from the Access Virus website. It's there somewhere.

Hey Previs - double post much?
I have deleted your post within the introduce yourself section...
If you ask once you will generally get a response here - there is no need to double post to attract attention to your thread :wink:
Good luck with your reset...

cheers

Sorry for the duplicate post... purely accidental. :oops:

The Access site does not have the origional sound set posted.
I have recieved a set from my friend with an Indigo 2, but I am getting issues with many of the patches. I thought the Indigo and the KC were interchangable with sounds and controlls. What gives? :?:

I will try downloading the links listed, hopefully they will work.

I may correct this:

You'll find a file called ABM.mid which contains the factory presets for the RAM banks in all OS Update Archives. You can use these to restore the factory patches, as stated in the readme file of each update.

Using the file second.mid will restore all ROM patches.

OK...

So I have dowloaded the proper files and opened them with Sound Diver.
When I open the file with Sound Diver, I can see the patches that I want to reinstall into my Virus KC.
Some files I can load, and some just give me wrong check sum or sysex with illegal path and appear in my Sound Diver Library as jumbled entries...

I just want to get my Virus back to the state it was in when I purchased it... long before I ever decided to experiment with Sound Diver!

Some one Please HELP Me! :cry:

[AlexHall74]

Does the CD ROM that came with the Virus KC contain the original banks?

It seems like a logical thing to include with a synthesizer...

I have not looked at mine since I bought it but will check it tonight to see if they are there as I am thinking about wiping my board and loading some new banks onto it...

Good luck Bro!

You got a CD Alex????

Alls I got was the Sound Diver CD. The factory sound set should be already installed on the Virus when you get it.

Why not try loading the .mid file into a sequencer and restore the factory sound bank from there?

I got a CD that contained the demo music on it and sound diver I guess.

I'll look at it on my PC and see if anything else is on there.

Give me a few minutes...

[Previs Spann]

I've got the correct files... they are on the CD with the OS.

But I can't get them into the KC...

I know that it is totally a user issue, and I have read the documentation.
I just can't get it to go... I don't know how it was so easy to load all of the new banks, but so difficult to get the factory patches back. :oops:
