Generic Remote: relative NRPN in Cubase

I’m sorry to read this. I am currently looking into getting a controller that can be used with Cubase to control parameters via nrpn’s and this is worrying to read. How come Cubase doesn’t have decent nrpn implementation after all this time? I’ve also dabbled quite a few hours in the generic remote setup in the past, and in short it just sucks! As the Akai mpk is on my shortlist, I would be very interested to know if anyone has found a way to get this to work?
