I've not tried with Logic Express, but that should offer more than Garageband, which I can use in a limited way with the BCF2000.
First off, you must put the BCF into the right mode - one of the USB modes (see p9 in the manual). I find USB mode 2 and 3 work OK with the Mac. To set the mode you press STORE while EDIT is depressed, should get EG on the display. Then use the top LH rotary to spin thru the modes, which display as U1, U2 etc. Stop at U2 or U3 then press EDIT to leave the edit/global mode.
In this mode I get MIDI from the keyboard thru the USB into the Mac, and MIDI playout from the Mac to the synth. (I'm hooked up to a Yamaha keyboard/synth which is all I need).
Because Garageband is not designed for this, you have to download a Midi driver which appears as a virtual output on the GarageBand instrument info - it's a real kludge. You should get much more integration with Logic though.
Hope this gets you started.
