Soft synth: audio/midi question

I've been exploring Tassman 4.0 as an audio units plug in on my 1GHZ 512k ram laptop, using a MOTU 828mkII.

When I record a patch with some movement, using a MIDI track (let's say... slow flange drive) and then play it back, it sounds choppy and out of time...basically unusable...

Similarly if I record the midi patch simultaneously with an organ patch from my Yamaha S90 (using an audio in), they will not be synced.

However, when I record the same patch and route it from MIDI to Audio, and then playback the audio track, it pefectly reflects what I played....and if I do the same with the external synth (again using an audio in) it sounds fine.

Why is it necessry to track the soft synth from midi to audio? Am I missing something?

When I use Tassman as a plug-in with Logic Pro it works fine....

I'm not concerned about this as there is no problem routing it the way I have...I would just like to understand the situation....

Thanks in advance for any help on this.
