tompolar, you're getting it wrong, the thing is like this.
The Virus has 16 multitimbral parts and 3 stereo outputs. What this means is the following, in logic's mixer you can only have 3 channels for the virus, and you have to distribute your 16 parts in those 3 channels (you can do this in the common tab in each part, say you want part 1 to go to the first channel of the virus in logic's mixer you go to part 1 then to the COMMON TAB and choose in Out: USB1 L+R, if you want part 2 to go to the second virus channel in logic's mixer you go to the COMMON TAB in part 2 and in Out you choose USB2 L+R, say you want part 7 to go to the third virus channel in logic you have to go to the COMMON TAB in part 7 and in Out choose USB 3 L+R)
That way you can add FX from Logic into those 3 channels and route the Virus parts to the channel you want OF THOSE 3 CHANNELS SINCE THE VIRUS HAS 3 STEREO OUTPUTS.
What you want to do, having each part with its own channel in the mixer is not possible since the Virus has only 3 stereo outputs and not 16, what you can do is bounce the part you want with some FX, reimport it to logic as audio and it will have its own channel strip.
If Logic had 16 stereo outputs then yes, you could assign a channel in the mixer for each part of the Virus. You can also have 6 channels as mono since 3 stereo outputs = 6 mono outputs, but I dont think you want this.
Hope it helps! read the .pdf that comes with the virus on how to set it up in logic and it will clear things up.
PD: You may have to enter the patch/utility tab to make the third stereo output available, for this choose (3 outs / no ins).
