Feature Request: Make MIDI tracks fully routable

[raino]

@jms

A common workflow for me that has developed from my bitwig/ableton usage is to route a track with note (usually chord) information to many other tracks each with midi modifiers (e.g. echo’s arps) enabled to essentially orchestrate in real time.

I use Virtual MIDI Cables to get around most of the limitations of internal MIDI routing in Cubase. This is Chord Track specific, but the approach will work for whatever.

How to add the Chord Track as a MIDI Source for any Track

Out of the box there are two ways you can have the Chord Track play on a MIDI or Instrument Track. Both of these methods have some major limitations. You can set the Chord Track to “Use Monitored Tracks” which works great - unless you want to Monitor a Track for some purpose other than playing chords. Perhaps to play a solo. You don’t want the solo instrument to also be playing the chords, but they will with this method. Or you can set the Chord Track to play back on one, and only one Track at…

there must be some legacy code reason why this isn’t possible

That’s the only thing that makes sense.
