Hey there, don't panic!
Midi is a format standard used in most synthesizers. Originally, it is sent out and received via midi cables (the 3 midi ports on the back of your virus). There are many different midi applications, one being the possibility to record input information like what note you play and how hard you hit it into your sequencer. The other application is to send/receive all data of a sound (or bank) as a packet of data. This is what you will do
Your TI can do this midi via midi ports AND midi via USB.
I reckon you have no midi interface, so we'll stick to midi via usb.
Version A)
If you have your virus TI connected to your DAW and the virus control window is open, you have your "browser". In that browser, choose your ram bank in the upper view and an empty bank (like "my patches") in the lower view. Drag and drop the sounds, done. Save song just in case
Version B) Get a sysex librarian (on my mac I use the "SysExLibrarian" from
http://www.snoize.com/SysExLibrarian/ ). Start it. Do not start your DAW. Set it to record (and set the port to Virus ti). On your virus, send a midi dump, only bank A or bank B (it's in the common menu, as far as I remember, sorry, not at home atm). Dump them, Done. Check if they arrived at the other side.
Version C)
nah, this is too tricky for now, but you can also record sysex data directly as a "song" into your daw, but there are too many factors I don't know like what DAW you are using, which virus version etc.
To push them back to a new virus, drag and drop them back in virus control or send midi data via your sysex librarian.
That should do it.
Hope I could help a little!
Cheers,
