Cubase Mixer issues

I'm not quite sure what you mean "Problem is I don't have any options to input the MIDI data on an audio track". MIDI data and audio are two very different things. Coming from a soft synth background you might think of them as one in the same and therefore be expecting them to live in the same space in the DAW. Maybe I have an advantage because I'm old enough to remember when the MIDI standard was actually created (and was into hardware synths BEFORE then! . Learn to separate them in your mind and you'll be in better shape. Part of your perspective might be as is because of how FLS decided to separate patterns and arrangements from the mixer. In Cubase, the mixer is more like an actual hardware mixer than it is in FLS.

You are sending MIDI data to the Virus, but you're receiving the audio output into your Cubase track. Sorry if that's too basic and I mis-understood your question, but it helps in creating your templates to think of it like that, and it is not the same as the Virus plug-in behaves by default.

Yes, I think FL Studio sent me into a very very narrow way of thinking that I noticed was not a standard.

Let me rephrase my question:
Although I'm beginning to understand the mixer a lot more now, I still can't figure out how to send different parts of the Virus' multi-timbral feature to different channels in the mixer of Cubase. If I create a new Stereo input channel in the mixer how do I let it receive data from the 2nd part of the virus? Basically how do I output different parts of the virus to different inputs of the Cubase mixer?
