Logic pro Question

Hello all- I was wondering if somebody may be of help. I have the latest version logic and a corgi micro key air connected. when I try to use logic pro's bluegrass banjo I get a muted staccato sound rather than a pure banjo sound. to get that I have to press the keys very hard. Then I discovered that when I use musical typing it sounds like a pure banjo. when I connected a second keyboard the same thing happened. so it's something to do with the keyaboard.
Then I discovrered that its happening across string instruments like the hammered dulcimer.
Can somebody give me specific instructions as to how to fix this? Thanks heaps-
Mara.

can u check if ur keyswitch is working or not? and what about other sounds like piano or something?
did u try a midi controller?

yeah piano is fine, harp also. it's just these folksy string things . yes, I am using a midi controller- the Korg micro key air 37 connected over USB. but when I used another one the same thing is happening so the issue is in logic.

When you enter notes using your computer's typing keyboard instead of the Midi keyboard, use Z and X for octave adjustments and C and V for playing strength adjustments.
I'm guessing that the problem you're having is that you're playing too low, so use the letter V to increase your playing strength and see if that solves your problem.
