Aloha guys, Just to chime in.
Soo true.
I used to be able to send a ‘MIDI Start Event’ from my controller (guitar synth)
just by hitting my top most note (C#) and Cubase would start.
If the track was armed it would start recording. If not it would just start playback (great for live work).
since the 1980’s when I started with MIDI.
Yes! That was many years ago (before Cubase added audio).
Just tried it again after reading this post and so far nada.
Good Luck!
