M50 Sequencer Mode to MIDI out problem

I joined this place to find out about a problem I am encountering with the MIDI out port on the M50 while in Sequencer Mode. Nothing is going through. I have tried to play into DP using a number of different interfaces (M-Audio [Fire & Delta], PreSonus, Fast Lane).
While in Program or Combi Mode, DP picks up and records MIDI fine. But what good is that when I need multi-timbral voices over 16 channels?
I have tried every different clock mode, Local on and off with no luck.
I happened across two instances where I get some notes out but it invariably reverts to no information at all.
As a side issue I am using a Mac g5 ppc. Audio Midi testing works on input to Korg, but I am mystified by the repetitive click sound on the MIDI out connection.
Is the only way around this using M50 as soft synth plug-in with USB?
Can't the sequencer be mapped to MIDI out?

What type of tracks are you using? EXT? INT? BTH? You're probably not getting anything over MIDI OUT since I'd bet your songs are using INT tracks.

Your best bet will be to set all tracks to BTH, since you'll be playing internal sounds, AND transmitting MIDI at the same time.

Think I am figuring this out - had success with changing Global SEQ Mode: Track MIDI out to Ext Seq and Param MIDI out to Sys-ex Param Change.
The input channels popped up automatically in DP and away I went.

However using Local On while recording into DP there are occasional stuck notes. Need to prevent echo somehow.

I will post another glitch in the M50 system about SEQ not storing "COPY from Program" for all 16 channels.

Use Local Off and route all the MIDI back out from Logic to your M50 as well as recording it in Logic.
