Cubase not recognize connection to controller

Cubase
1

I use a Casio Privia PX-150 keyboard (very nice by the way) as a
kb controller for Cubase connected via USB.
PROBLEM:
I must first turn on the KB, and then call up Cubase in order
for the two to recognize each other. When I do it in that specific
order, I’m fine. I get sound… both in and out… life is good.
HOWEVER:
If I turn off the KB, then turn it back on again, I lose the connection.
I get nothing. Just by that simple act alone, I lose connection.
In order to restore connection, I must completely CLOSE down
Cubase, make sure the KB is ON, then re-boot Cubase again.

WHY CAN’T i SIMPLY TURN ON/OFF THE CONTROLLER
WITHOUT BEING DIS-CONNEDTED??

Because it simply is like that.

That’s USB midi for you. If you would use an actual Midi interface and connected the keyboard to that using midi cables you’d be fine.

If my KB had a MIDI out, I would.
Unfortunately, it has only USB
