Hi Babz,
I use M-tron with Cubasis VST 4.0.
Does the full version of Cubase SX have any example songs?
What happens if you bring up a sample song and try using M-tron
as a new instrument within that. On my version of Cubasis there
was some problem with VST instruments and the def.all default
template. I had to take one of the example songs, strip everything
off, tracks and all. VST instruments then worked ok. So then save
that as your def.all arrangement. I can't remember what the orginal
problem was I had so don't know if this will help.
