Steinberg’s decision of making VST3 instruments unresponsive to MIDI Program Changes means that unless I install my VST3 instruments as VST2, I cannot make nor create and test my live sets in Cubase and have to take them elsewhere.

I wish a plug-in or setting for program changes, CC etc. were created.
