VST and Cubase

How to connect the JD-990 (VST) to Cubase:

1. In Cubase, Disable †Midi-in **Midi-out ports to the JD990.
2. Open JD-990 VST in an instrument track IN=(All Midi Inputs)
3. Create Midi track IN=(All Midi Inputs) OUT=(JD-990 Midi-in) (I record midi notes & data to this track)
4. In the VST Ctrlr panel connect to the †Midi-in and **Midi-out connected to JD-990 (you disabled them in Cubase ( See step #1))

I found the only Midi-thru setting that needs to be checked was :
MIDI→Midi Thru→”Plugin-host->Output Device”
(The 5th option down in the fold out menu).
