fyi i found answers to my own questions on the Cubase forums.
Basically ive decided that the Device Panels in Cubase are next to
useless b/c not only do they lag but they dont even support reading
current patch settings from an external hardware device... I think
i'll just go with MidiQuestXL for my software editing.

However, Im still wondering about the slow reaction time of the Matrix
to drastic changes in MIDI CC values... although the Device Panels
supposedly lag i've mapped knobs on my Nord Modular to control
parameters on the Matrix and there still seems to be an internal lag
with my Maxtix. Slow changes are smooth but quick turns of the knob
cause lag probelms. Am i alone on this or is this a common issue with
all Matrix-1000's?

thanks.
