Alright, first things first, you say your getting no midi info out of the computer. The first things I would look at are whether you have the midi connector selected in cubase since your using a joystick connection it would probably be "Microsoft GS Wavetable SW Synth." (if its not this you can try all the different options cubase offers) Then I would make sure that you have midi out enabled in cubase. Next I would check to see if the midi out from the computer was connected to the midi in of the
303 (I know you probably already did this I just want to make sure). If these are all set right it might be that your 303 isn't accepting incoming midi messages (to check this you can hook the radium (midi out) up to the 303 (midi in) play something and set the control channel to 1 and see if you hear anything). Tell me the outcome of these and I will figure out what to do next.
As far as using cubase as a sequencer and controller. You might find that it is easier to make patterns on the 303 and then record them piece by piece. What I do which is super quick is to record the drum and synth samples off my machines and then use the audio samples in the step sequencer of a program. This allows you to get the sound/feel of the machine without the limitations of system specific midi messages (patch changes, etc..) This also prevents you from running into the old 16 track problem.
