Without details your guess is as good as ours. What instrument exactly, what type of audio interface, what Mac model.

You understand MIDI is not audio. Take your stereo audio outputs from external instrument and run them into the Inputs of your audio interface. (or built-in audio). In Logic's Preferences/Audio make sure your audio device is selected as Input/Output device. Then create a stereo audio track, set levels and record.

instrument is a Yamaha VL70 M wind controller module,

Imac 2019

every thing else in the project is audible and so is this instrument but it does not create an audible bounce or share .

It is audible when recording the midi but something is not being linked.

In short... the audio outputs of the VL70 must be connected to an audio input device. MIDI is not sound/audio, it's only performance data, what note you played, how long it was held...etc. Do you have an Audio interface? Not sure what kind of Audio Inputs are available on the new iMacs.
