When an articulation is selected, Cubase resets the articulation to the first sound slot when playback stops. This is counterproductive.
With an articulation set to Direction, drawing in some data would solve the problem. But working with Attribute I must select the articulation before I start playback every time.
Cubase is resetting the midi channel. With Key switches the Blank Slot works. But when an articulation is on a different midi channel e.g. 2, Cubase resets to midi channel to 1 when playback stops.
