I'm not an expert - but i think you need to set up an automation lane/track for the VC plugin for whatever parameter / knob you want to record.
the next strange thing is the TI2 only Syncs (attempt to Sync) the RAM A,B,C and D Bank not the ROM Banks.
(Information on the Virus TI2 Display - Syncing patches with Virus Control)
thank god - would have taken forever to sync every bank,
hope you get it working in windows 11 - follow those steps - you might also need to run twice - the first it does the syncing - the second it's in the cache somewhere maybe
Fixed it!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is what I done,
- inside 'Virus TI' create a folder 'Cache' ('Virus TI' should be in users/name/documents/access music)
- inside 'Cache' create a folder with your serial number, you can find this in your install log text file
- also inside 'Cache', create a folder called 'RemoteSets' and an empty text file 'RemoteSets' - also make copies of these files inside your serial number folder
- finally run your daw / ableton in admin mode
I'm not sure which of the above steps made it work - but i made sure to cover every possibility - either way, the VC plugin loads immediately without any pause / syncing - and it all seems to work!
after Cache / "RemoteSets"
ah.. no folder with serial number?
does 'remotesets' contain a list of .mid banks?
Alles anzeigenon mac it is like ozon wrote:
/Users/<user>/Library/Application Support/Access Music/Virus TI/Cache/<SerialNumber>
that is what i did but does not solve the problem:
C:\Users\Your Username\Documents\Access Music\Virus TI\Cache\<SerialNumber>
damn it..
i guess there's no one from access who can help anymore?
has anyone with windows have this problem?
Alles anzeigencould any one on a windows pc confirm this?
did you have a folder called "Cache" in: C:\Users\Your Username\Documents\Access Music\Virus TI\Cache
what i tried for now is:
i created a folder called "Cache" in C:\Users\Your Username\Documents\Access Music\Virus TI\
given all possible rights - same situation
i created a folder called "the Virus TI2 Serialnumber" in C:\Users\Your Username\Documents\Access Music\Virus TI\Cache
given all possible rights - same situation
after that is deinstalled all Access Virus componets. cleaning the system from all access folders.
Installed Access Virus Software again - same situation.
i think the folder inside 'cache' is named exactly what your serial number is
could someone with a mac confirm the format of this?
If you don’t have a Cache folder, then that’s the problem. VC doesn’t know your device and initiates a sync.
yes but how do i create one - i wonder if i can do it manually, or maybe reinstall vc using run as administrator
what ableton version did you use? 11 or 12?
I'm using 12
me neither… at least we're getting closer to the problem..
i know this on Windows 10 x64 and Ableton 11. i did not find any solution to solve this issue. (honestly i did not spend much time to solve this)
the location is under the user documents folder- also as user with admin rights i have the same situation.
yeah same here - from what i can see the permissions seem okay... though i only see folders for factory defaults - maybe it was trying to create a new folder but couldn't
So the VC plugin behaves as if you were connecting your Virus for the first time. To me it seems as if it doesn’t remember the device. Which could be because the process is not allowed to write the data to the desired directory. I don’t know what directory is used to keep that data on Windows, but AFAIR on macOS it’s in a common system location which is write protected for unprivileged users.
yes someone else mentioned write privileges - i'll look into that thanks.
Every time I connect my ti2 to the computer & daw (with the virus plug in), it takes about 10 minutes to sync. I saw the problem on some other threads, but no solution has worked for me. I have a ti2 with latest OS using windows 10 & ableton.. have tried different usb cables and ports... no luck... anyone any ideas?
Check out this thread:
TI2 Exclusive RAM Bank Programs List - Share your tips and tricks - Access Virus Forum
ah - thanks for that..
from what I know - the RAM patches are just duplicates of the ROM patches - as a sort of pre made 'favourites' selection for you. So if you're worried about having missing patches, you don't.
i follow this guy on YouTube - his enthusiasm is very 'infectious' 
awesome find thanks! (midinous)
thanks for your answers!
I have a stand alone virus ti2,
In multi mode, the shift + value button doesn't skip through the next patch/program for a part, but instead selects the next bank. This is annoying - I have to use the knob instead which is too fast, or goto into edit mode and find the right menu page. Is this is a bug?
What is the purpose of global soft knobs? I presumed it was a way of assigning a knob to affect the parameter of all parts in a multi mode setup - but it only affects the current part selected - I don't understand why it's called global in that case.
Is there a way to copy a patch from within a multi setup from one part to another? rather than creating a patch in single mode and using that as the copy source.
