I already posted this to Q&A, so sorry for crossposting - it just seemed to get no attention there. I'd really like to know what is the typical i/o routing model for using vst vocoders with internal carrier signal in Reaper(now using 1.53).
"I'm trying to set up a vst vocoder with internal carrier signal, for example Voctopus,
http://www.boxsounds.com/voctopus_info.html
I put Voctopus as an insert for an audio vocal track and create a midi track. I route the midi track's send to the vocal track. All I get is the vocal track muted. I've tested different i/o combinations with no success.
I've set up mda's vocoder (with external carrier) and Talkbox with VocInput succesfully.
So the question is: am I doing something wrong, or is Voctopus broken, or is this a missing feature in Reaper (I doubt)?"
