What MIDI Interface are you using, does it come with its own drivers or relying on the windows built in ones?

[Timo]

Mine has done the same in the past. Usually because I swapped the Virus for another synth, or added several synths, that all use the same MIDI or expired ports on the MIDI interface.

Press Esc, or wait for another minute or so until it has finished trying to connect. Detach all other synths from the MIDI interface, remove all synths in SoundDiver, install the Virus in SoundDiver again, and then select/configure the correct MIDI ports.

Also check your MIDI drivers as Summa has suggested.

If the interface is using the built in Windows drivers sounddiver runs ok when started in 9X compatiblity mode.

OK... I have M-Audio Firewire410..I also have a Korg R3 that i use as a midi controller for my VST's, JP-8080 & JV-1080... So I took and unhooked the R3 and I ran Firewire Midi out to Virus C IN, and Virus C MIDI OUT to Fire Wire MIDI IN... so there are no others with in the chain.

1 MIDI DUMP TX Total
"" RX Verify
1 MIDI Global Chain 1
1 MIDI DEVICE ID 1
1 MIDI CONTROL LoPage n HiPage Sysex

I got it to run last night, It took for ever and if i even touched the software page it would completly stop, when i would click on it, it would do the same. NOT RESPONDING, end progra, and send error report.....

does everyone have this problem with it taking so long and stalling.....

What I am trying to do, is save everything on my board to my computer to keep it as a back up.... I add the Virus C from the list and a screen pops up VIRUS C showing the hardware piece and All Multis, Singles and Global Data Im assuming from the directions that i do EDIT REQUEST, and when this is done it will ask me to save. but it dosent and there is nothign in the BUILD LIBURAY also.......

Am I doing anythign wrong???

excuse the spelling and grammar

[Malibu]

well i just realised my dumb ass had virus MIDI OUT to firewire 410 IN and FireWrie 410 OUT to R3 in. that could have been the slo problem

[Malibu]

Will it work with XP 64? im about to upgrade

[Malibu]

Bump...........

[Summa]

When it comes to computer bases DAWs XP64 is an rather exotic OS.

[Malibu]

so your not sure if it works or not?

[Summa]

I simply don't care yet, what may change with Windows 7. Don't think this helps, but it runs on Vista32.

lopage and hipage - sysex

fa101 midi in->virus midi out.

What happens if you choose manual installation and set the midi I/O by hand.

anyone know how do i change output to fa101?
audio interface is connected, but sounddiver actually see microsoft whatever synth..

i think this is a problem.

[Summa]

If scanning stucks at this point, it's a common problem. Try to deactivate the MS GS Wavetable Synth in the Win.ini, by changing the value behind the drivers name from 7 to 0

[SoundDiver]

MidiOut_Microsoft_GS_Wavetable_Synth=0

i will try that, thanks ;)

[Summa]

You can initate manual installation by right click on the computer symbol in the Sounddiver Setup window, chosing open instal. After that you choose your virus model and press add. If scanning shows no result a selector pops up to inform you that sounddiver hasn't found any new devices. If you choose the manually button it will install the Virus anyway and you're able to choose the MIDI ports within the setup window below the picture of your model.

it's working now :cool:

problem was wrong midi out and editing win.ini file really helps :)

i did like you said:
set MidiOut_Microsoft_GS_Wavetable_Synth=0
and MidiOut_Edirol_FA101=7

and then everything goes cool now :)

thank you very much, Summa. your help is much appreciated ;)
