"Stuck notes" would certainly be a way of describing what is happening, so 
this might well be the problem.

Synth1 has been around a while.  Phibes quite possibly also.  I don't know my 
plugins very well so I wouldn't know which were post-Cubase-10.  If you could 
point me to a downloadable post-cubase-10 plugin I'll give it a go and see 
what happens.

Am I to understand from that Paul Davis post you linked to that a fairly 
simple patch would actually solve the problem?  Does anyone know whether the 
other methods for hosting VST plugins (the ones I can't get working yet!) 
address this problem?

Thanks once again, Tim and everybody.
Robert
