Articulation works, then it doesn't

I'm running Logic Pro 7.2.3 on MacPro 2.66 with 2 gigs of RAM. I have a cheap evolution Keys 49 Midi keyboard that has pitch bend and modulation wheels. I am using Jam Pack 4 to compose symphony tracks.

When I create a new Logic song/project, the mod wheel on my keyboard handles articulation perfectly. Using cello as an example, it switches from legato to staccato fine. Here's the problem: When I close or quit the song and return, the mod wheel doesn't function. The cello is locked into legato mode. The transport window shows that Logic is reading the articulation data, but no articulation is heard. I know it's not the keyboard because I can bring the same cello instrument up in Garageband and the articulation works everytime.

Has anyone had this problem?

You know what, this has just started hapening to me! After I installed Symphony Orchestra, sometimes the articulation just stops working. I haven't tried it in GB, but I get the same behaviour whether I load them as GB instruments or from the EXS24. It can happen right in the middle of a project. I'm on 7.2.1 and it's hapening on my MB. I would be very interested to know of this sample switching anomaly happens to anyone else, or if anyone has a cure... I was thinking that it might be a RAM problem, but I see everything loading from the EXS, so I'm not sure...

It's good to know someone else is having a similar problem (if one can call that good!)

I've been poking around and I've also noticed this: If I create a cello part in Garageband, articulation works everytime I open it. If I take that Garageband song and open it in Logic, articulation still works everytime I open it. The Logic file in this instance is saved as a "Logic Song." I don't know how to tell, but I'm assuming the Logic song is drawing it's sound files from the Garageband song (I don't know how to check that).

However, if I save the newly created Logic song as a project - with all sound files being copied to folders within a master project folder - articulation does not work when I reopen the file.

Strange. And frustrating.
