HI All,
Like you Stevo I’ve been loyal to Cubase for years! So lets hope that The Steinberg team reads this board because it does seem an oversight that Cubasis doesn’t have full Midi! My ipad4 loaded with a version of Cubase with the above connected to a great sounding interface might well be the solution that I have been looking for. SO COME ON STEINBERG MAKE IT SO!!! There I can stop shouting now! 
Richard.
