Hi Tim,

This is because the midi local control of your Alesis synth is turned  
off, as it is your master keyboard, proof is that all instruments  
receive midi, right?

To solve the problem, you open the environment, create an instrument  
in the midi part, go to the inspector, name is Alesis QS6 for example,  
and select the midi port  of your motu interface that connects to your  
keyboard.

This should solve the problem, as this way Logic will be able to SEND  
info to your keyboard.

Take care
