It depends. Do you have a MIDI interface (if not, GET ONE)?

If yes:
Keyboard MIDI IN -> Interface MIDI OUT (if you keyboard has MIDI IN)
Keyboard MIDI OUT -> Interface MIDI IN
Virus MIDI IN -> Interface MIDI OUT
Virus MIDI OUT -> Interface MIDI IN
Computer MIDI IN -> Interface MIDI OUT (or by USB depending on the interface)
Computer MIDI OUT -> Interface MIDI IN (or by USB depending on the interface)

If no (your keyboard have MIDI IN and MIDI THRU):
Computer MIDI OUT -> Keyboard MIDI IN
Keyboard MIDI THRU -> Virus MIDI IN
Virus MIDI THRU -> Computer MIDI IN

If no (your keyboard dosn?t have MIDI IN and MIDI THRU):
Keyboard MIDI OUT -> Computer MIDI IN
Computer MIDI OUT -> Virus MIDI IN

With the last option you won?t be able to record knob movements or other controller info from the virus, update it or backup your patches. In other words: Get a MIDI interface...
