As a workaround, I created a Minifreak vst and then created a separate midi track in cubase. I then created a midi groove - I edited and quantized the midi track with cubase features. Afterwards, went to the sequencer part of the Minifreak and enabled auto. I was then able to directly loop record into the Minifreak vst sequencer with the press of a button and the midi info was recorded directly into the sequencer. This is much easier than trying to create the step sequence directly inside of the Minifreak VST.
