Dumping new soundest into Virus C
 

Hey guys having a little problem with dumping some sound sets into my virus. Ive done it in the past but its been a couple years cause its been away for repairs. Anyways, Im using cubase 7.5 and I set up an instrument track and load the midi/sysex file and hit play. Pretty sure this is how its done, but I'm not getting anything happening on the virus. Also one of em says sysex with illegal bank no!!!. Never seen that before. Any suggestions. Thanks in advance

Hi Psyn, have you tried SoundDiver? I know it's a wholly different method.

Yes, SoundDiver is basically a drag & drop method: you load the file to see its content, then I normally copy all the patches (select all - ctrl c) and paste them into bank A or B. If you don't have the program just ask Access; they will send it to you quickly, otherwise give me your mail with pm and I'll ship it.

Ive never heard of that before, Thanks. Osc, PM your way

I have done exactly that..ask Access. They won't hand it out anymore as it is not supported any longer. It also won't run anymore on the newer Mac OSX. Sadly.

Unfortunately I don't have the Mac version of SoundDiver, but do have the PC version if you require it. Despite being discontinued since 2002 it still works well on the latest Windows 8.1, 64-bit and is a boon for both librarian and visual patch editor duties for Virus A/B/C. I still use it with my Indigo 1.

There's a setting in the Virus that must be set to receive sysex. Then your Cubase method should work.

Would love a version for Mac if anyone has it. Can anyone confirm if it even runs on Mavericks?
