Hi ...
First of all, you don't say exactly what's wrong/ not working in your setup from your perspective. So, it's not possible to give more than 'generic' help. But, I'll try ...
You need to clarify if you are trying for a 'hybrid' setup that includes your computer and logic as well as the hardware, or a straight hardware setup where the use of the computer and sound card is an after thought.
Steve has mentioned a 'midi router,' which I think of more as a 'midi patchbay.' In a hybrid setup, you can use your sequencer, logic, itself as a virtual patch bay for routing ... provided you have adequate physical midi inputs from/ to your hardware to your computer so that the sequencer can have access to all those midi ports for routing within the computer.
The way I read it, you have 4 physical midi ports available: 1
with the emu; 1 with the Scarlett and 2 with your Novation SL. I don't know the Scarlett well, but if it's USB, than you also need one USB port (possibly use a powered hub) for each of these three items. Once all are working within� logic, you will be able to send midi through logic to all the midi hardware. The midi sent through logic could then be recorded to the MP7 and the MP7 then set to sequence back through logic the virus and korg ... as well as it's own audio output.
Once you've recorded the sequences to the MP7, you could then 'unplug' from logic and the computer and run one of the MP7's midi outs to the virus and the other to the korg.
If you want to start from hardware and only later attach to the scarlett to record audio, it's a different route. You seem to say you want to record the output of your Virus to the MP7. Does the Virus have midi through? If you want to use your Novation for midi input without the computer, you
will have to purchase a power supply for it. From my view point it would make more sense to be sending the midi from the Novation to the MP7 and then on to the virus. Just like recording any other midi you would be triggering with the Novation and recording 'what you hear is what you get.' But, maybe there are some arp features on the virus that you also want to record, in which case you'd record with the virus between the novation and the mp7 and later reconnect the virus to the mp7 output.
As long as you only have the two pieces of hardware and the mp7 it should work without any need for a patchbay.
You can get the excellent MOTU parallel patch bays dirt cheap these days. They will work stand alone and you can create routing presets. You can also buy a new MOTU USB Express for less than $200 ... but they are nowhere near the quality of the old ones. The old ones had great software called 'Clockworks' with which you could route and
configure from your computer ... but the software probably won't work on a recent MAC, the drivers were for 32 bit systems and few computers have parallel ports any longer. Sadly, I've two of them gathering dust in my closet from when I went from XP x86 to Win 7 x64.

I feeling that im doing somesing wrong in my current midi routing.
How would you put together a set of tools:
E-mu MP7 as main sequencer
Novation ReMote SL 49 compact as mici keyboard controller
Access Virus Rack
Korg KP3
Focusrite scarlett 8i6 as audio/midi interface for MAC computer with Logic 9.
For addition i have usb to midi Emu 1x1 Xtab interface.
Especialy i need to record midi data from Virus in MP7 sequencer, MAC is only for master audio recording.
