Update. I just booted ctrlr for the first time in a while. I opened my Virus panel and inspected it from top to bottom and lo and behold, a huge button in the centre of the panel labelled
MIDI DUMP REQUEST
*facepalm*
In my defence, I probably never noticed it until now because I didn’t have the proper MIDI connections to use it.
Anyway, tried it, works like a charm. (takes about a second and a half)
Much thanks to Widy for creating an amazing panel and atom for creating an awesome program.
And thanks to all who have helped out a complete idiot. 🙂

With CTRLR you can put a button on the canvas and assign the single dump sysex command to this button. Click this button and Virus will send the requested data. The incoming data you can monitor with the Midi Monitor window of CTRLR. The next step is writing a Lua script for the incoming midi data. This script will be called when CTRLR receives midi messages (see attached screenprint) and should analyze and assign parameter values to modulators. BUT it will be a heck of a job to assign each parameter value within the dump to a different modulator! (I hope I’m right about this, otherwise please correct me!) So the most important thing is to study the Virus manual and learn about MIDI (sysex) and then learn about scripting in Lua. All this took me about 2 months (and still learning and making mistakes!), mainly because you’re pretty much on your own in this matter. Unquote

I still need help with this one.
I checked the manual and I’m still unsure how to request a midi dump from the Virus to CTRLR.
Is it the total dump command? Even if I figured it out, I have no idea how to program CTRLR I’m a total newbie at this.
Thanks Liam. What’s the message you need to send to the synth?
I have a Virus B, I can dig out all the SysEx commands if you need them.
Config>HiPage needed to be set to PolyPrs. Problem solved, thanks again Widy.
