I have a similar problem with my setup.  I think the issue is with how I have my midi routing setup.  I'm working on so much crap at once with multiple pieces of gear, I have not fully solved the problem.   My set up is a bit different because I am using external gear that sends midi CCs and trying to record those tweaks rather than assigning a knob on the command station.

For now I have to set the track to an internal sound, record the knob tweaks to be able to hear the tweaks while I make them, then switch the track send back to external and play the sequence and hope the tweaks sound the way I want.

I think, It has to do with the fact that the midi in on the command station is set to rechannelize the info (I have mine set to rechannelize on record).  The settings I have to use to avoid a midi loop prevent the knob tweaks being heard during recording.  But I can hear tweaks on internal sounds when CCs are sent from external devices while recording.  Thus, the rediculous work around I've been currently using.  Other settings that could allow the tweaks to be heard during record will cause a midi loop.  The only other option is to turn off the rechannelize midi in and work a solution from there.  I have not given much time exploring this.  After I get bogged down with tech shit for too long I just want to get some music made.  So, I have to walk away from the problem and come back to it another day.  Otherwise, it stops being fun and that's what I'm in it for.
