Does anyone know what the main difference is between the virus B and the Classic?

THe brochure on the classic mentions it has the heart of the virus B, but that's it.

Hardware/software Differences....I understand my virus B won't be a classic, but why?

No, you're quite wrong Tomer! It is essentially a Virus B.

*24* voices/ *3* osc+sub etc, etc..

I thought they were the same except for the graphic scheme and an updated soundset...

Thanks,

You should be able to install banks A and B with no problem. Just download the OS for the Classic, and look for the abm.mid file in the Goodies folder.

I'm afraid you won't have much joy trying to install the ROM banks. Whilst the patches are compatible, they are installed using a sysex file similar in format to the OS itself. These files have a signature at the beginning which means they can only be accepted by that particular model.

Hey Ben,

I took a look I took a look at the classic OS and there is no ABM.mid Just a bunch of first and second prefixes.

Is there any other way to try and get the new classic patches on my virus b?
