Default baffled by midi routing in reaper with VSTI (edirol)

hi all,

i have been using reaper for some time now, and i am dead impressed, i think i put cube base to shame, especially considering this didn't cost a fraction of what cubase charge.

however there is one thing that has me stumped in reaper, many of my vsti's are multi channel. and i cant figure out how to select between them.

if i right click and insert vsti with lets say edirol SQ, then it MSGbox pops up say channel 1 and 2 are SQ1 and 3 and 4 are SQ3 ect.

however when i make a midi sequence, i dont know how to change which channel it utilises. i see that there is sound generated on the original file with the midi track, and there is also sound generated on the first track (SQ1) that reaper made for me.

i am also a bit stuck because i am not entirely sure how i am supposed to add another track using the same vsti, i end up with another set of tracks.

it would be great if some one could clear this up for me

MANY THANKS. dobs

Reaper builds the output routing for the VSTi automatically when you insert it, but not the MIDI input routing. Open the FX chain window with the VSTi and let Reaper do that for you too:



Each of the 16 tracks is routed to the corresponding MIDI channel 1-16 of the VSTi by default. Delete the tracks you don't need and you're set.

You should have a look into the REAPER User Guide Chapter 18.10 page 352 ff.
Also this video tutorial http://www.openlabs.com/tutorials/proteus_multi.wmv
should be helpful (it deals with the ProteusVX, but in general it should help with the most Multi-Output VSTi)
