Hello dear virus owners :)

I need help with my virus c, I have read everything on here regarding this situation but noo luck . Here's the problem:

I want to update my virus OS. But want to export the banks
I've tried, soundiver, midiquest xl ( did export the banks in midi)
And I tried to import 7skies free 15 and other banks that are in midi
I tried with ableton live 8 because that's all I have .

My setup:
I5 custom pc
Windows 7 64 bit
Midi in/out to USB (for virus)
Focusrite Scarlett 2i2
Oxygen 3rd gen 49 keyboard .

I tried freeloader from the previous post,

Because this forum had A LOT of of answers

soundDiver is the only software i use for store presets; never had a problem with it.

How do I set up the virus with soundiver ?
The virus doesn't show on the install/instrument window

And how do I change the midi in and outs for sound diver ?
When I scan for synth it whont find the virus and I'm already sad
And want to give up :(

Hi there,

I use MidiQuest XL for storing presets. It's pretty much straighforward, I can even save them as data if I want, and then place them back into the synth, any given time. Works for me, I don't bother with storing all presets into the synth's own memory, just create an extra folder on my project's folder with Virus presets and store them there.

But assuming Sound Driver works a similar way, you'll need Midi in and Out, on some port - which you have to indicate first, so the program can access the thing. Another thing: check if you have the right Midi options on the synth, there's a good chance it's not - check the manual. And don't give up man, once you find something that works, you'll see how easy it is, really.

click open device then choose virus c template.
up left you have to choose your midi port (use only midi ins and outs)
check if you got these numbers right down in the same box up left:
velocity 34 / timeout 750 / send pause 500 / play delay 50
rescan and good luck!

I tried using midiquest to but I can't import midi banks to my virus thru it lol

And the sounddive's "open device " isn't dark soo I assume that I don't have the virus template ?

try to connect your virus (turned on!) with midi before click on open device

That should do the thing
