I'm trying to update my Virus C with the 1024 sounds, but I always got the same messege DSP-Ram Failed.

Do I have a defective Virus C or am I doing something wrong ? any clue as why this happens ?

Is it only me who have problems transferring soundsets i bought from the pc over to the virus c desktop?

Tried that Freeloader thing, and both hi and low are set to sysEX

Great tip ,I could not get the midi files to open in Ableton live 7 and they worked well in WMP thanks a lot ,
ps This site seems to have a lot of know it all people .

Thanks for helping out ,I didn`t find the manual all that clear and when the OS on your virus is really buggin out like mine was , it was near impossible .
But now she`s running sweet ,Cheers

I just got a Virus A, and cannot update the OS. It's on 2.1 and i'm trying to update it to 2.8. It just won't receive any of the MIDI messages i send it. I'm using Bohm's SendSX. I can see the MIDI OUT led flash on my interface, but the Virus just sits there waiting... I'm totally lost as to why it won't load the OS.

I got it workin. OS 2.8 rockin solid.

Sysex communication error

I tried using the Sounddiver virus. It worked for the first 15 preset and then the message showed up : Sysex Communication Error. Virus C didn't respond.
How do i change the sysex (Hi lo ) on my virus? I can't find it. And why did it work for the first few presets?
Thanks in advance,
Firebolt

2/ Make sure your hi page and lo page settings are set to systex in virus. Make sure your global channel and device channel is set to number 1.

3/ Make sure your correct midi ports you want to use are set up in freeloader.

4/ Browse to the midi file containing the data you want to send within freeloader.

5/ Press play!!!!!

6/ Play with ya virus all night and grin a bit :)

*****Important remember not to switch off or unplug any leads while you are transmitting data.

I hope this helps all you poor guys out, ive been fuming all week until i sorted my virus out today. Let me know how y'all get on!

Hi, I'm having trouble updating patches to the C. I followed the steps in the manual and in your post.
Is the best way to upload patches to
1. Turn on all TX, RX, and Global midi channels to 1 (since thats what I use).

2. Set hi page and lo page settings to systex

I import the .midi file into a midi track in Cubase and click play in the sequencer, absolutley nothing happens on the Virus LCD.

The person I bought it from was able to do it on Ableton so I know it works, Just not sure if Cubase can perform the same task. Is freeloader or sound diver necesarry to upload patches?

I hope I don't sound like I'm asking for too much. I'm used to VST synths, first time working with external midi! :)

If anyone knows of a video out there that explains updating patches on the virus c that would be great.

SySex, Sound Forge, WMP

What kind of program do I need and where do i buy it from to Update patches, Can I update patches in Windows Media Player?

Opensource Sounddiver replacement for OS-X (Virus C tested)

On Mac OS-X you can use to upload Patches and the latest OS:

Just adjust the speed in Preferences for the "Pause between Played Messages" to a speed the Virus C accepts. I used it successfully . I just don't remember the exact speed, but try 350 msec or slower.

Good luck
