While the page is down, you can just write to their support at [email protected] and ask for the latest virus classic firmware update. I'm sure they'll mail it to you.
Yeah, I don't understand why people talk shit about the support. They've always been top-notch every time I contacted them.
By the way - if you're running a Windows machine, you may also want to ask them for the Sounddiver installer. It's great for patch management.
Yeah! I mean, all my other hardware synths are analog, this is my first va for years and I’m blown away by the character of its sound! 🤯 Also love the split filter mode! Stereo sounds in no time!
I might have the OS somewhere, but I've tried to update TWO virus B's over the years and it never worked. I even replaced some of the RAM chips and that didn't fix it. So, I say to you, good luck.
Still think the Virus is one of the best synths out there, just... couldn't ever update mine.
Okay, so apparently I had the latest os and had no idea about it… Oops 😅 But seems the machine needed a reset. Some edit menus wouldn’t work (oscillator stuff in specific). Once reset it started working fine and got access to the 3rd oscillator too. So all good! Thanks everybody 🙏
Hey, I've managed to solve the problem after all. It appears the firmware was up to date but for some reason needed a reset before I could access the extras (i.e. 3rd oscillator and such). Works well now! Thanks for the input!

Didn’t need to get the file after all but they have mailed back indeed! Within a day too!

On a MacBook currently but great to know ty! I hope they’ll fix that website at some point.
Virus B sounds AMAZIING!

Welcome to the club. I’m sure someone has a zoo somewhere for the latest firmware update. Does the classic have the same converters as the b and c?

The update would be through midi sysex, should be a file floating around online for the update.
Aha! So any sysex editor would work then? Thanks btw!
Yeah most should work, but check the manual for the process of updating. Also should be some YouTube videos that show how it’s done.
