Please Help..Simple problem, simple solution?

So i pretty much fell back from creative mode and did more of work environment stuff. Created a template in Cubase 6.5 with all of my route “ins” I have a motif signal coming in along with NI Maschine, mic input etc…Whats great about it is I can see all m signals coming in and do sound processing with plug ins, as well as track at the drop of a dime…

The issue is by doing so I use Maschine as a plug in and it only stops starts when I hit the space bar in Cubase… Is there a way to disable this and use the start and stop on the maschine controller until Im ready to track in? Thanks!
