Have a go at this: Temprarily remove your Logic 5 Preferences. Open a new default song (hold down option, file>new). Just so we know it's not something weird in the Autoload or Prefs... Create a blank transformer, check its icon, cable it to the Physical input. Assign a new Arrange track to the transformer you just created. Draw a sequence on it and enter a few notes in that sequence. Create another midi track, preferably something polyphonic. An ES-P Audio Instrument will do. Select this track. Hit record & listen... Where have the note-offs gone? Take a look at the recorded sequence. Now cable the transformer directly to the Sequencer input instead, repeat the recording. The note-offs are back. Weird. Why?
