The fix is in
Cubase began life as a MIDI sequencer some thirty decades ago. The decades-long dedication to MIDI still shines through – in fact, a number of Cubase users cling onto the hoary old DAW for that very reason.
It was, therefore, somewhat dismaying when version 9 broke one of the coolest MIDI features on some systems: MIDI Device Panels, those nifty faux front panels designed to allow control over hardware MIDI devices from within Cubase. Many Device Panels are included with Cubase, and those that aren’t can be designed. Plenty of users have taken it upon themselves to create custom Device Panels and have made them available to others.
Unfortunately, the MIDI Device import function was broken on some systems in Cubase 9, and afflicted users had to keep an older version of Cubase installed for when they wanted to use their MIDI devices. Thankfully, this is no longer the case. Cubase 9.5 rights this wrong, and we couldn’t be happier about it!
