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

[AlexHall74]

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.

I tried using the Sounddiver virus. It worked for the first 15 preset and then the message showed up : Sysex Communication Error. Virus C didn't respond.
How do i change the sysex (Hi lo ) on my virus? I can't find it. And why did it work for the first few presets?
Thanks in advance,
Firebolt

Is there any settings to change/configure in wmp?

Has anyone been able to load an OS onto a virus b, from a virus a.
I am not getting any sound and when I try to load the OS from logic. Trying my fireface400 and a Yamaha ux-16 midi usb. Sending at various speeds it gets to the end and asks to store. I hit yes and it says dsp-ram error.
I know midi in and out works and tested.
I get zero audio from any output. Checked in settings too.
Help??
