Ive noticed that Cubase can still sequence midi without an audio driver selected
Has anyone used Cubase this way reliably?

Sure! with physical midi gear.
Hey thanks, so to be clear you have had no issues then by not having an audio driver selected.
I haven’t tested it specifically for long periods. Maybe someone else has… What is your purpose in doing this?
I can see no reason why this wouldn’t always work, as long as you don’t do anything that requires audio.
Just want to eliminate as much overhead from the cpu as possible, seeing that midi is a fairly small small calculation compared to audio for the CPU.
The day that Cubase no longer works as a MIDI-only sequencer (e.g. on a computer with no audio device present, and no audio drivers installed) will be the last day you will see me here.
I have a number of computers with (lesser editions) of Cubase installed that serve mainly as MIDI “sequencers”. You can disable onboard audio in the BIOS of a PC and Cubase will still work perfectly with just a MIDI interface.
For anyone else reading this it will only work with outboard gear which would have to go through a mixer. You can not use software synths.
Well thats a firm “Yes it works without issue” if i ever saw one. Thanks!
