Apple Logic Pro /LogicExpress Discussion

Hi I'm having a problem getting my my midi system up and running (see details below if interested) and I was just wondering if anyone out there had a similar system? Maybe we could compare notes. 

It's very frustrating and I'm eager to dive in to logic. The taste I got of the VST's sounded awesome.


System Specific Information:

Hardware Overview:

Model Name: iMac
Model Identifier: iMac9,1
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 2.66 GHz

Operating system Mac OS X 10.5.6

Logic Express 8.0.2

M-Audio midisport 2x2 connected via USB cable (I've down loaded and installed
the latest driver which was 3.2.3)

Roland XP-10 connected to the midisport via midi cable.

Here's the situation I had to by a new computer so I decided to go ahead and
step up to logic express (I'm a hobbiest but I have had logic in the past.)

I have an IMAC running Logic Express 8. I'm using a M-audio midi sport 2x2
through a usb port. I have installed the driver and the midi sport is
communicating with my keyboard. I have a Roland XP-10 as a controller.

Here is the problem some how I had gotten things operating I was even able to
record some MIDI tracks into Logic. Well the next morning things weren't
working. At first it seemed like some how my settings were getting "reset" every
time the computer was powered down or went to sleep. But in reality what seems
to be
happening is that the settings are switching back in abut 5 seconds.

If I rescan the MIDI in the MAC Audio Midi Setup (AMS). Then in Logic I "reset
all midi drivers" after that the keyboard will trigger the sounds in logic for
about 5 seconds. If a note is depressed at the end of that time then it will
hold that note until I rescan with the AMS. If it's not played then it just
quits triggering the sounds. I can repeat the steps above and get this cycle to
repeat.

Now I suspect that somewhere I'm missing a setting on the MAC but I can't for
the life of me figure out where or what I'm missing.

Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions? Has anyone had this problem?

Thats pretty strange that the setup is reset. After you set up in the 
Audio Midi utility you are closing and quitting the utility, right? You 
might want to restart the computer, repair permisions using the disk 
utility, and so forth too. Also check m-audio's site and download the 
latest driver. They always have updates which can make a big difference.
