Logic Express-oxygen8 Latency Issue, Go slow I'm new! Options

[SiGi]

Problem:
If I start a new project and set up an Audio Instrument - say the EXSP24 Grand Piano - I can play using the Oxygen8 and there is no latency as I am playing. However once I record the melody, when it it plays back, I am missing about every 3rd note, it sounds awful!

Also if I open the Tutorial and try to play the ES1 that's set-up there the Oxygen8 does not register any IN or OUT signals in the Transport window

Tried:
Audio Midi Set-up changing from Using Built in Audio to using the ULN2 but makes no difference

Gear:
Powerbook G4 1.5 Ghz 1.5gb Ram OSX 10.4.8
Logic Express 7.2.0
Midiman Oxygen8 (latest 3.2.2drivers) -Connected to Powerbook via USB
Metric Halo I/O ULN2 Mio Console 2.2f15 - Connected to Powerbook via FW

Many thanks for any suggestions

I'm wondering if there might be too much continuous controller information, which could be overloading things, especially note off info. This could cause your problem.

Have a look at a recorded sequence in the Event List. If there is a stack of info other than simple note data, try highlighting one piece, going to Edit > Select similar events and then delete, Repeat as necessary so that you're left with only note data.

If this works, you may need to examine what data is being transmitted by your keyboard and switch off extraneous data.

I'm really not sure if this is the issue, but its worth a punt.
