Midi gone crazy

Hey octagods!, moved my equipment and now I see the following behaviour:

Whereas before it would pass MIDI through, it now has to have the MIDI button enabled on a Thru track with the channel set. I have never ever had to do this, but because my downstream device (micromonsta 2) wasnt getting lit by the MIDI, ive had to.

Only difference now is on hols i have a smaller keyboard the keystep 32, whereas usually I use a pro.

Also, some other behaviour, I am no longer getting the Logic Pro x Play synced with octatrack, thats gone amiss as well.

Logic is definitely configured ok, I use the same template that ive always used.
