Mackie Control Remotes Stop Sending Data when Tracks Are Hidden In Mixer

Mackie Control Remotes Stop Sending Data when Tracks Are Hidden In Mixer.
Cubase 10.5.3 Windows 10
Repro:
Add Mackie Control in Studio Setup
Connect it to MIDI monitoring software
Add MIDI Track
Use MIDI monitoring software like Bome MT Pro to monitor MIDI coming from Cubase
Observe MIDI coming from Cubase in MIDI monitoring software
Hide MIDI Track in Mix Console
Observe MIDI coming from Cubase in MIDI monitoring software

Result
MIDI data is observed to be absent after hiding the MIDI track in the Mix Console.

Just with MCU? Not other remotes?

Haven’t tried the others thus far.

So any conformation on this bug or… we just gonna whack it on the list of things that might be fixed?

Is it not the expected behaviour if you hide a track on Mix Console 1? The idea is that Mackie follows that mixer as you’re main control area, and highlights the tracks which are currently within the scope of the hardware.

The other Mix consoles (2 & 3) exist so you can hide/have different views outside of the main. You can hide and do whatever you want in those.
