Kbd Local doesn't do anything???
 

Even if I set it to Local-->Off it still sounds, and if I set it to Local-->On it still sends MIDI... totally confused! Is there some other setting that's responsible for this behavior?:confused:

Well, to anyone with similar issues:

Hold down LFO Shape while turning the Virus on. It does a reset but does not erase presets/data, so don't worry about that. Apparently you're supposed to do this anytime the Virus begins acting weird. Hope my frustration saves someone some time in the end!

I'm not in front of my TI right now but on a lot of synths setting Local > On will not stop MIDI data transmission. It is simply whether the internal sounds will sound when a key is pressed.

Local > Off should not sound without MIDI connection - unless the Virus has another configuration setting beyond the norm.
