Pure Data looks interesting, but just tried the QwertyKeyboardMidi and it works well. MIDI note on and off messages are going through even if it doesn't have focus. (ie, you are working in Reaper)

You still need virtual ports like MIDI Yoke installed, but I recommend you have them anyway, as they are small, no fuss ports, useful for other things as well. (like recording MIDI notes out of certain VSTs with arps or step sequencers etc)

By the way, it's useful to see what MIDI messages are going on on a track in real time, so load for example ReaControlMIDI and click the 'show log' button.

Once you have something all set up, just save it as an FX chain or track template so it's easy to load next time.
