ah! i didn’t realise it was locked
just tested this out for myself using a demo of studio one this evening, and it is mind mindbogglingly good! 
select a track on either the hardware or the mixer… follows…
pan on either, they follow
change a level on either, they follow!
Its odd how cubase was one of the first to support the basic integration (auto track naming) but yet one of the last to not have full integration.
I wish now I would of saved my money on the 8.5 - 9 upgrade, and cross-graded to studio one.
i also like in thh s1 mixer how it shows gain reduction in the level meters… nice touch! wish cubase had that (im sure there is a feature request already)
Im gonna give steinberg until 9.5 if its not coming/announced by then, I doubt very much ill be buying that upgrade.
