Korg M50 Editor with Cubase 8

[Kaje]

I have had my beloved M50 and Cubase 5 connected via USB working harmoniously for the past god knows how many years without so much as a hiccough, glitch or bump in the musical world. Even with the onset of windows 8 and 8.1 sheer perfection and well everything is fine and dandy. So a week back I decided to treat myself to an early Christmas present and bought the upgrade to Cubase 8 Pro. Installed and working fine...

I set up the editor and copied across the m50 editor VST to the appropriate folder and now I have 2 bizarre things occurring!

1. If I turn on my M50 and then open cubase 8 and create a midi track I get a midi in and out signal but as soon as I fire up the M50 Plug-In editor VST they will not connect to each other no matter how many times I rescan etc.

2. If I open Cubase 8 and then turn on my M50 I get no midi connectivity, however if I load up the M50 editor VST they connect fine I can play the keys on the screen and I get sound. If i play the keys on the actual M50 the keys on the M50 editor react but I get no sound and no midi activity in Cubase.

I have changed midi inputs and outputs I have also changed the local settings on the M50 amongst a few other things and well Im stumped

If I load up cubase 5 it all works perfectly as it has the past x amount of years.

Has anyone got any ideas, please

Sorry but The M50 editor is not supported on cubase 8.
Currently is only supported from vst 2.4 and the m50 pluggin is older
