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

All, I contacted Access support about this issue a few years ago. Their recommended application for loading MIDI files into a Virus (for Windows platform) is Windows Media Player (WMP). I have used WMP several times to load banks of presets as well as a new OS and the 1024 bank update for the C-series. I have also used WMP to load banks of presets on my JV 1080 successfully. I hope this helps you all out as it does not require a link of any kind to the Alesis site if you already have a working PC.

Great tip ,I could not get the midi files to open in Ableton live 7 and they worked well in WMP thanks a lot ,
ps This site seems to have a lot of know it all people .

Thanks for helping out ,I didn`t find the manual all that clear and when the OS on your virus is really buggin out like mine was , it was near impossible .
But now she`s running sweet ,Cheers

I just got a Virus A, and cannot update the OS. It's on 2.1 and i'm trying to update it to 2.8. It just won't receive any of the MIDI messages i send it. I'm using Bohm's SendSX. I can see the MIDI OUT led flash on my interface, but the Virus just sits there waiting... I'm totally lost as to why it won't load the OS.
