This is happening recently. I generally use steinway grand piano plugin and it sounds amazing with default settings but now the same plugin throws fuzz sound on hitting high notes. I'm pretty sure velocity range of the midi notes is very gentle with low volume . The same piano plugins sound well when hearing through headphones. This is really weird, can someone please help ?
Try using I/O buffer to 256
Also you should buy some powered monitor speakers to connect to your audio interface or just use your headphones. MacBook Air speakers do not have the frequency response for Music creation.
You might want to disable the effects and see if that helps

So, what does that tell you? Possibly the Macbook speakers cannot handle the load?
You might try rebooting the computer and reloading the project. Don't run other Mac applications at the same time as Logic.
... and what are you sending on bus 3 and 4 ?
and why have you set your output to built in speakers instead of scarlett?
Thousend questions, thousend reasons for "mild distortions".
BTW, I don't hear any distortion while working with Logic on my system.
This is exactly the point where I am very confused and even more annoyed. The Logic developers are doing everything they can to confuse experienced users and even more so new users. (@morozco I really like your contributions to the forum!)
The effects and busses in the screenshot are NOT part of the LP Steinway Piano instrument but part of the Steinway Piano Library Window on the left side of the Main Window. The plane Steinway Piano instrument is just a sampler instrument with no additional plugin inserted. This is how I use Logic usually. I hate, when tons of plugins – I don't like and many users don't understand – are inserted automatically... WTF. And automatically inserted and sent plugins makes troubleshooting really hard. Sorry for ranting.
To help and troubleshoot, I would disable all sends and plugins first, then check what could cause the issue.
I was asking about a screenshot of your Mixer Window. However, you have already inserted 4 (!) plugins in the channel strip. Did you inserted the plugins manually? Do you know, what they are doing? Why do you insert reverb and delay instead of using sends? ...
Check also the "Master" fader as this should be set to 0db.
Check your monitor situation, speakers, mixer, cables...
Can you post a screenshot of the mixer page?
All are default settings both in MacBook swell as Logic Pro. These used to work earlier but now the sound output is distorted. Please see image below:
