Successful Virus B OS 4.9 Update - Reaper. Win.

  • Hi,
    After much research and dread, I managed to update my Virus B to 4.9. yesterday. I thought it was going to be tricky but was pleasantly surprised how easy it was when you have everything in place.I used a NI Komplete 6 interface, connected to Virus with MIDI in/out cables.


    1. get the correct update file from Access.
    2. drag the file into Reaper.
    3. reduce BPM to about 40.
    4. turn synth on
    5. play the file.
    6. you should see the synth counting the files as they load.
    7. follow the prompts and store the files.
    8. power on, OS 4.9, voila!


    Hope this helps someone else.
    Peace.

  • This is GREAT news! Have a look at my question regarding a new OS here: QUESTION - you will see there is apparently according to Marc a upgrade to a new OS called Virus C. I tried to look for it, but my computer skills just is not that good anymore...

  • hello,


    I'm trying to update the os of the virus kb, but it's not working.


    The midi interface (motu micro lite) with reaper DAW is suppose to recognize the virus kb, correct?


    I don't see the synthesizer counting the files as they load.

    Can anyone please help with this?


    thank you.
