!!Heres how to update patches or reset virus.!!

[sike]

1/ Get this instead of that poxy soundiver :-

Freeloader v2.0

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 have just buy a virus b. I want to load OS and all patches, to
erase previous owner's work. After reading the manual and this
thread, I set midi channel to 1, device id to 1, memprotect off.
My virus is version T. I play "first_bt_490x049.mid" using midi ox.
Everything seems ok, the data seems to be loadings. At the end,
the display says "Recv. last bank 15". I push "store", but nothing happens.

Can you help me?

BTW, the link to alesis web is broken again.

Thanks in advance,

Miguel

Only thing you dont mention is putting the virus in update mode. As the manual only specifies this for loading the os from one virus to another (in the virus c manual) i think its worth adding this step?

I didnt get this immediately and spent a lot of time scratching my head getting nowhere in standard mode!

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 ?

[mizzleman]

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

[maunga]

sorry guys

tried it all, but all of the above didn't work.

I, also, keep getting the "recieved 15" message ...

any other ideas to update my virus C to OS 6.6?

so far I tried:
- windows media player
- Sonar 8 (at various speeds)
- Alesis-thing
- other midiplayers
- switching to update mode

it recieves stuff, but doesn't update
