FL Studio as a VSTi in Cubase SX

[PugFace]

This thread has been attempted before possibly but i wondered wether i am going crazy.

I love FLStudio for basic backing development but like Cubase's arrangement methods (or at least i am familiar with it). I have been attempting to put the two together. (Running FL as a VSTi).

I have SX2.2 and the demo of FLStudio5. The manual of FL suggests that it is possible to put the FL in to LIVE mode and trigger and record individual patterns by assigning an individual note/midi channel. Great news as this suggests being able to develop the music from Cubase. But the trigger occurs perfectly when using the MIDI keyboard i have but it don't work once recorded! Cubase's notes are only triggering the pattern that is current in FL and from the start of play back (not when it is required at the correct position of the song).

I have found a way round it by using the full song features of FL but this is tiresome and non-intuitive as i like to arrange all the song from Cubase at the end and FL is poor at arranging and tying the two together is a pain in the proverbial arse.

I have followed the FL manual (dam crap if you don't mind my language) and got the LIVE mode up and running.

HELP. I get the feeling this ain't gonna do what it is supposed to do and there is a big problem with FL in Cubase in triggering inividual patterns.

Oh but i love those Funky FL rhythms.
