I'm afraid you're wrong.
First, Accessories do not run simultaneously to your program. Yes, you can switch between tasks but the operating system does in no way offer timeslices to run these programs simultanously. The only way to do this it to use interrupts which some accessories do. But this is not really multitasking.
TOS is meant to run 1 main program plus have a certain set of little utilities in RAM.
Besides that, there are restrictions for accessories and i doubt you could write Cubase as an accessory. I am no expert on ACC programming but i vaguely remember that ACCs are restricted when it comes to memory usage.
A Multitasking system is supposed to allow the execution and termination of tasks at any given time - And the combination TOS/GEM does not allow that.
