Testing preview for Cubase

REQUIREMENTS
Windows 11 25H2 or later, x64 (Intel/AMD).
Tested with Cubase Pro 15; other Cubase versions are not yet verified.
Co-Composer installed on your iPad, on the same local network as this computer.

INSTALL
1. Extract this ZIP, then save your work and close Cubase and any running Focus.
2. Run Co-Composer Focus Setup 2.4.1.16.exe and complete Setup.
   Setup includes the app, Cubase MIDI Remote script and Microsoft MIDI component.
   The Microsoft component may request administrator permission.
3. Open Co-Composer Focus from the Windows Start menu.
4. Open Cubase and your project, then open Co-Composer on your iPad.
   Keep the iPad awake with Co-Composer visible while working.
5. Once connected, assign your iPad banks/groups to the Cubase mapping rows.
   Use Setup Guide in Focus's small down-arrow menu if you need help.

No separate loopMIDI or Apple Bonjour installation is needed.
Existing users' Focus mappings/settings are preserved by upgrades. This download
does not include another user's mappings, settings, Cubase projects or iPad banks.

USING FOCUS
Focus creates its virtual MIDI ports and discovers the iPad automatically.
Start Focus before Cubase so its MIDI ports are available when Cubase opens.
Closing or minimising the Focus window leaves it running in the system tray.
Right-click the tray icon and choose Quit to stop it completely.
Opening Notification Centre or leaving Co-Composer may briefly interrupt the
iPad connection; Focus will attempt to reconnect automatically.

ABOUT THIS PREVIEW
This installer is unsigned, so Windows may show an unknown-publisher or
SmartScreen warning. A signed public release is still being prepared.
The app uses preview Microsoft Windows MIDI Services APIs and requires the
Windows version listed above. Install subsequent Focus updates for compatibility
fixes and the transition to Windows-provided APIs.

Modern light/dark scrollbars, a clearer import preview and clean unassigned rows.
