you've loaded a Pulsar Midi Source module in your project?
To check if the hardware midi port of your pulsar works, chain a Midi Monitor module after the source module, play the keyboard and watch the incoming stream in the Midi Monitor window.
If so, chain the Pulsar Midi Source to a Midi Sequencer Dest module.
In your sequencer (why don't you mention which one you use?), activate the Creamware Midi port, in Cubase 5.x you'll find it in Options/Midi/...but reload the software first to refresh the loaded options.

Im using cubase vst5 (sx won't work on os 9) and i already tried to connect the midi source and dest modules, but in cubase it doens't work. I've conncted the my keyboard to my midi controller (uc-33) and that's connected to the MIDI In on my pulsar. On my windows setup it works just fine, but in OS 9 i can only control pulsar but i can't use my keyboard.

OMS is set up properly? 'play in background' in cubase is checked?

just some thoughts...

In OMS you have to check 'OMS preferred device', see OMS Controll Panel.
There 'Creamware port 1' should be activated.
If needed run a OMS 'Seach'.
I guess you have the Creamware port 1 visible in your 'current' OMS Studio Setup?

If all this is ok, start Cubase, go to Options/Midi Setup/System, check 'Input from', the Creamware port 1 should be there, click active.

This should do it.
You didn't tell us midi is received in your Pulsar project?
You tried a Midi Monitor module?
edit: 1- try also deleting Cubases preferences from the MacOS system folder, but you already know that

2- you have Creamware card ASIO selected in the Options/Audio/System window and not the Soundmanager?
not sure if this matters to midi tho

common, this should get solved, I can hear Nestor laughing...
