One note sustain problem when using Akai MPK61

have a confusing problem. When I use my Akai MPK61 with logic 8 one pitch sustains indefinitely. This problem occurs on a different physical key but the same pitch when I switch octave. It also occurs on the same pitch on the pads.
This occurs both when recording and when not.
On the piano roll, it shows me that the midi block for that note keeps going (no midi off signal?).
I have sent the keyboard back, they have found no problem with it. They tried using it with ableton live and the problem did not occur. I have tried a different midi keyboard with my Logic 8 and the same problem does not occur.
I now have the Akai back and have the same problem.


Any Ideas? I would very much appreciate any help you can give me.

Macbook, Mac OS X (10.5.8)

I see that the experts here gave you quite enough "tap tempo" advices while it is a wrong conception in your scenario. You are talking about live band play and trying to sync the tempo to a sequencer using "Tap Tempo" or what else, to be able to sync to the Delay FX etc - right ?
In the classical scenario the bands are synchronized to the sequencer or at least to the sequencer metronome (it is the drummer job to play while listening the Click in his headphones)- this way everything will be o.k I guess...
