You are recording and playing back a MIDI track. It's working exactly like it's supposed to, MIDI is not sound.... you have to route the Audio outputs of your synthesizer into the audio inputs of the computer, (or audio interface). Then your audio from the synthesizer will appear in Logic.

I feel like I'm really close to being able to hear what I record on Logic. It's just weird because Logic reads what I play on my keyboard, but just plays it back on the keyboard since the keyboard has speakers. I can play sounds from the Logic library on my keyboard and record them. I've messed around with a ton of options and still no luck.
