Logic receives MIDI but notes don't trigger instruments

Hello folks. I am pretty new here in this communities environment.


My situation is pretty interesting and driving me absolute bananas.


I'm using an M-Audio Oxygen 88 external MIDI (from now on I will refer to it as extMidi).


Fact: Logic receives MIDI signals from the extMidi as I can monitor them on Logic lcd screen as I play chords and notes.


Problem: I select, say a grand piano software instrument, but the notes I play on the extMidi will not produce any sound.


Fact: I am in the middle of a project and all was going fine meaning that I had previously recorded piano sections using the extMidi. All of a sudden (I must have accidentally changed some setting) and now this


Fact: Even though software instruments will not produce any sound (I tried a bunch of different ones), when I record, I can see the notes on the piano roll. But when I attempt to playback the recorded MIDI section, again, no sound.


Fact: When I create a new empty project and do the same (create a software instrument and play notes on the extMidi) everything works fine: notes will produce sounds, etc.


BIG Fact: This is really frustrating please help.


Cheers,


Y.

Ok, funny as it may sound, I just discovered that the notes WILL playback as I play on the keyboard if the red R button is active. Other than that nada. I am used to Logic and GarageBand playing back notes when a channel is selected, not selected and record enabled.


I must have changed some setting somewhere but where?
