Help setting up a Virus B
Hi Everyone, I apologize in advance as my understanding of MIDI is as basic as it gets.
I found my old Virus B a few days ago and I wanted to get it up and running so I can decide if I want to sell it or not. I purchased it back in the 90's but never really used it much as i got more into DJ'ing than production. So if you guys can lend a hand in the setup that would be great. I guess the goal is to get it running with my controller keyboard and Ableton 9.
My gear:
Ableton 9
Virus B
M-audio Radium keyboard (this is my midi interface through USB connectivity)
3 MIDI cables
Current connections:
Keyboard Midi midi out --> Virus Midi In
Virus midi out --> Keyboard "USB out"
-Side note, the keyboard has 2 midi connections; both are labeled "midi out" but are differentiated by the names "keyboard" and "USB"
Status:
When i press a key on my keyboard I see the note appear on the virus display. Is the hardware setup correctly? I want to trouble shoot that first before I wade into the ableton issues
Thanks!
