What you're trying to do will still work even if cubase is the master. I use cubase or nuendo and make them the master when I track my stuff. I rather have it like this because the daw makes an excellent master source for distributing both midi clock and mtc at the same time to their respective destinations (providing you have enough midi I/O ports to accomodate this).
If you go to the heading at the top of cubase, you should see "transport". From transport, go down to "sync setup" and click on it so that all of your sync options are displayed. Internal timecode should be the first & only option checked at this point followed by scoping out your midi timecode destinations & midi clock destinations. Whatever boxes give you the option to "follow project time or position" should be ignored. You should see your uno in at least one of the two destination dialogs I previously mention (and if not, then the only one selected should be midi clock). At this point, I'd focus on sending midi clock out to its proper destination and test to make sure it's working. MTC options are good if you want to sync your mpc correctly.
That 1x1 will get you in the arena, but you'll have a bunch of problems if there's other pieces in your studio that will require some sort of sync. I guess you won't find this out until you get to that fork in the road.
