Peter,
Setting up the Series III to act as a master keyboard can be tricky and the
manuals are essentially no help with this whatsoever.
I too use Cubase / midex 8 in my set-up and what I ended up doing was
setting up a 'dummy' system within the Fairlight which effectively
'local-offs' the Fairlight keyboard. The reason for this is that what
usually happens when you connect a Series III to an external sequencer is
that you get a midi-loop generated when you press a key on the Fairlight
keyboard. This is due to the implementation of the keyboard to CPU
connection, which is effectively posting midi information to input port D
on the Fairlight. I load this .sy file each time I boot the Fairlight and
then load the instruments / voices into this, which means I can play the
Fairlight voices (and all my other gear) from the Fairlight keyboard within
Cubase.
BTW I have my Fairlight connected to Ports 1 on the Midex. It is not clear
from your mail whether you are just not getting any midi info in Cubase
(i.e. the little meter doesn't light up when you press a key or move a
control) or whether you are getting the midi loop type problem described
above.
If no one else has responded by the end of today, I will document the
configuration I use when I get home tonight and will post it to you
tomorrow.
Best regards,
Chris.

Please respond to [Fairlight-CMI] Series III MIDI
Fairlight-CMI
Ok, I'm having problems using my Series III keyboard as a master/controller
keyboard. I have all the relevant connections to and from my MIDEX 8's. I
can control the Fairlight from Cubase, ie it receives MIDI information, but
it won't send any information from the Fairlight to Cubase. My other two
keyboards (XTk & AN1x) work just fine.
I've fiddled with the MIDI Port (A-D) and various other relevant settings,
but this makes no difference.
Is there something unique to the Fairlight regarding MIDI or should it just
work as any other MIDI controller keyboard?
Any help is greatly appreciated, as usual :-)
Cheers,
Peter
