In the MIDI protocol you have two ways of sending a note-off message:

1: By sending a Note-on message with a velocity of 0 ( the most common way
afaik )
2: By sending a Note-off message

See

for technical details

I've been experimenting with Cubase SX ( normally I use VST ) and apparently
:
  
- Cubase SX uses method 2 whereas VST uses method 1
- The Machinedrum does only handle method 1 ( I've tried and tested that in
code )

Is there a way I can make the Machinedrum  respond to Note-off messages ?

Or..

Is there a way I can tell Cubase SX to send Note-off messages as Note-on
messages with velocity 0 ?

In normal situations I would not care about the note-off handling of the MD,
since we are talking about drum-sounds here, but when you are triggering
patterns through midi it does matter. The pattern should loop only for as
long as you hold the corresponding key.
