Lost a bank on Access Virus C desktop...

[Bryan Jones]

hi everyone. I'm new here

ive had my access virus C for a year or 2 now. I had a friend come over and help me sync it to my computer, but in doing so, he copied the A bank on top of my C bank

my c bank is the one i mainly use, i like having C127 the plain tone i can adjust, and c125 which is my input output for effects. now i have A's sounds on my C

i tried resetting it by holding the filter shape button and turning on....but it doesnt fix the problem

any help?

thanks
bryan

Hey Bryan! Welcome to the forum!

I'm no expert, but I think it might be very difficult (if at all possible) to recover the contents of the C bank once it is overwritten by the A bank or otherwise...

Did you have a motherload of custom presets/patches in this bank or just INIT type stuff?

Good luck!

hey thanks man ^^

no actually i had no custom banks in there. i just want the original one that came on there. i usually used those 2 specific presets all the time and wanted the bank back

let me know if you have any ideas. i though resetting would do that....but it didn't

You can just upload the 1024 patch update, available at the Access website. In doing so, any of your programmed patches from bank A/B will be lost, so I advise doing a dump into your sequencer.

i've actually never uploaded anything to my virus....is it pretty easy ?

Loading presets into your Virus is a piece of cake!

Go to the Access website page for the Virus C:

http://www.access-music.de/downloads.php4?product=virusc

Download the latest OS (6.5 I think for the C?) and you will erase the demo song and get 4 new banks of 128 presets each, some pretty damn good!

Then you can tinker with the smorgasboard of banks for the C series.

How to do it?

Open the files from the Access site with Windows Media player while your MIDI interface is connected to your Virus. Make sure your MIDI interface is selected for your system's MIDI playback in Sounds/Devices section of control panel.

Give it a shot, you'll love the new material!

^^ awesome thanks a lot! i got it to work. really appreciate it

1 thing though, is there a way to make +/- 12 a standard setting? right now when im trying to find a new patch, i have to set it manually every time i change the patch. which is a pain while searching for a new sound to start with

thanks though, at least i can do that now

Hey Bryan, glad things seem sorted out. Timo (aka "MacGyver") might be able to help you out with the +/- 12 setting...

Hiya Bryan, I think bend amount can only ever be local to the patch itself. And +/-2 is the standard given. I can't see anywhere in the global menus where you can change it.

If you wanted to make your own sounds from INIT (like a whole bank of INIT sounds), you could edit one patch to bend +/-12 and then copy that patch to all the others.

Otherwise it's manual editing of each patch, I think.
