Mac Sonoma 14.1.1, Garageband 10.4.9, Nektar T4. Not the T4 as it works with other daws. Any note played has a long sustain. Apple senior advisor was no help. Hoping to not have to delete/reload GB. Problem exists with vsts also.
MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 14.1
As a follow up to this - I have contacted apple support and sent them a video showing this issue happening in practice (and how it makes recording any MIDI input completely impossible!)
I've also submitted a bug report here: Feedback - GarageBand - Apple
I would recommend that anyone else reading this and is having the same problem do this ASAP.
The more people who flag this the higher the likelihood of a bug fix being implemented.

MacBook Pro Ventura 13.5.2 (22G91)
Yamaha P-80 / Focusrite Scarlett 4i4 (3rd Gen)
I have exactly this issue and it's driving me nuts. I am using a Yamaha P 80 via a Roland audio/midi interface
This worked absolutely fine until the latest GarageBand update to 10.4.9
I have tested the MIDI signal through https://www.midimonitor.com/ and it's behaving exactly as you'd expect:
GarageBand is interpreting the Note On at 0 velocity when I release as Note On at 80 velocity - so I'm getting two notes - once on press and once at release - which then sustains indefinitely
I thought this was an issue my audio Roland Quad Capture - as it no longer has up to date drivers for Ventura - so bought a Scarlett 4i4 yesterday as a replacement (for over £100) but am getting exactly the same issue.
APPLE - THIS ISSUE NEEDS A BUG FIX URGENTLY - I cannot use my trusted (and expensive) digital piano to play VSTs any more - I have songs I want to work on, and do not want to need to invest in any more new hardware or software to do it.
@tmensa - If you are reading this... could you use https://www.midimonitor.com/ to test the signal from your old CME kontroller? I suspect when you release a key it is sending Note Off, rather than Note On at 0 Velocity - which might be why it works.
Both are valid ways to signal a key being released in the MIDI standard and GB should interpret them both fine
Same here when I use my Yamaha P-105 piano(I have used this before the last upgrade), but when I use an old CME midi kontroller it works fine. Hope there is a solution.
UPDATE - 28 December 23
Garageband has now updated to 10.4.10 and this bug is now FIXED!
I'd like to think a few of us reporting this as a bug has helped :)
Garageband sound continues after releasing the key. Midi monitor shows note off on my Mac
