Im confused...... what exactly are you tring to achieve? Cubase lets you create .xml files from within cubase and save them Surely you just start a project with say: 16 midi track & 16 audio tracks, then set all your controls as you need them, save the .xml file and then when ever you start a new project the settings are applied to each track that is added. Or am I missing your point? BTW if you own SX2 I think the 2.2 patch has just been released which might fix a load of generic remote problems? (I cant afford it yet!!)
