I don't use software sequencers anymore but I would say no.
You can always record the patterns you made on elektron gear as 
audio in cubase.
I know what you're thinking right now, "you want totall controll and 
with audio you're stuck with the recording" right?
But why should this be a problem? The first recording is often the 
best and you can remix audio in a very creative way (and use plugins 
etc..), this is how I remix my live sessions.
Think about it and try it, you'll be suprised!
I know tracks made by people on just one monosynth.
The complete song is recorded in layers and even the drums were made 
with this monosynth, amazing!

I used to be a controll freak, trying to record everything as midi 
to recreate and controll the song if needed, it didn't do any good 
to the creative process afterwards.
Now I just play and mix with the hardware sequencers I have and it 
is the most fun and creative way to work for me.
