first thing:
I gave up on using the editor VST a while ago, because it's just too slow to load the data, and then heaven forbid I should close the project, I have to do the whole thing again. In the end I found it to be too much of a workflow killer. Also I found it to be glitchy, as in latency and dropped notes. Has anyone else had this experience? if there is a way to make this better, I'm open to hearing it, although I've spent a lot of time trying to make this work and I'm just kind of burnt out.
main question:
so I've moved to setting up the motif as an External instrument in Cubase. Seems to work. And it's cool that if I change the patch in the inspector, it changes the patch on the motif. I'm wondering if there's a way to set it up bidirectionally so that I could change the patch on the motif and it would show the change in the inspector?
Windows 10
cubase 13 Pro
motif xf
thanks

Apparently edits are no longer allowed.
it was supposed to say "heaven forbid" not "heaven's revealed."

It's difficult to tell what works because this message forum is barely hanging on a thread (rimshot). This new forum initially allowed editing but only if you edited within something like a very tight 2 minute (more or less) window. Maybe it's turned off altogether now or maybe you just missed the window of opportunity.
I don't think you can do what you're asking. What version (number) and level (AI, Pro, etc) of Cubase are you using?
When you change Voices or Performances on the Motif it will send the MIDI that causes this. And you can record, in Cubase, while switching to bed the change in the recorded MIDI. Probably not the workflow you're after, though.

Thanks Jason. Toby showed me the work around for looking at messages. I only got to look at it today.
