I’ve done some more checking on this. On my system, every time I exit Cubase, either with the normal quit or a forced quit, the hardware control is missing the next time I star Cubase. If I run the utility and change the buffer from small to medium (or vice versa) it requires a system reboot. But then the hardware panel is back… at least until the very next time I exit Cubase. Then I have to repeat the process. EVERY DAMN TIME! Hardly “professional” product integration if you ask me…
