Wrong end of the USB cable goes into the virus. The virus is the USB slave and not the USB master controller.

But I'll be more than happy to take 16 MB 2:1 in 8MB or 16 user defined multi-samples. Thats better than none. You could still put a few of your favorite multi-sample in there. I would love to sample my DSS-1 and push those great vintage 12 bit samples through a Virus.
Ha ha , you would be happy with 16MB ram ? How much ram do you think is actually available inside the Ti ?

Each full soundbank is about 128k so you would have to lose 10 whole banks for 1MB of sample ram. 1MB of sample ram @ the virus internal frequency 96khz 24bit isn't going to give you much, 2-3 seconds or so.

It's a lovely idea but I really doubt the virus hardware is made for it. Maybe some lofi user wavetables which take up about 50k each or something but PCM samples is probably going too far.
