I really want to use my mono to sequence my Indigo, but until 
elektron includes polyphony in the Midi sequencer section, it is 
probably best to just use a computer sequencer.  It sounds like you 
aren't sequencing the Virus with the mono, but using the keyboard to 
record sequences in Logic that you want to play back.  Best way to do 
this would be to stop using the "any channel" mode, and dedicate 
specific channels to specific instruments.  Connect everything 
through Logic and do the routing there.  Rout your midi ports so that 
the MnM out goes to your other instrument inputs but don't rout their 
outputs anywhere.  Use device numbers 10, 11, 12... for external 
gear, and use the Midi sequencer on the monomachine's tracks 1,2,3... 
for each piece of gear respectively.  For the monomachine, make sure 
that its input and output ports are not set to pass midi to eachother 
through Logic.

I am surprised that you cannot turn the midi-thru off on the MnM, but 
I can't find this feature in the manual, so you'll have to do it in 
Logic.  I haven't tried any of this by the way, so I apologize if my 
comments are useless.  I have been dragging my heels, hoping I can 
someday use the MnM as a stand-alone hardware seqeuncer to sequence 
my polyphonic gear, but... maybe it's time to give up and go back to 
Cubase.
