Midi out to Virus C help!

hey i am kinda new to hardware synths
im trying to connect my novation sl mkii keyboard controller to the Virus C

I went through both manuals and doing everything that i thought was right.
and it seems like the midi data is not getting through

is there a specific online tutorial for setting up the midi in for the virus?
any help is appreciated!

so i tested a bunch of different settings...
and i cant get the midi to get to the virus...

its the current OS
audio is working fine
and midi is being sent
but the virus is still not responding to the midi!!!

i dont see the flashing note when i press my keys

help please

ok
