Maybe if you RightClick on the Arm button, scroll down to Record Output and select midi. Arm the track and record in realtime.

There are a few things that can be easily overlooked (at least by me ), You have to set the send to "Pre-Fader (Post-FX)" and below that the MIDI-channel that's to be sent and the MIDI-channel track 2 should recieve the sent MIDI. Thus, BTW. you can send MIDI-data from eg. channel 8 on track 1 to channel 11 on track 2.

Rec-arm track 2, set it to "Record: Output -> Record: output (MIDI)". That's it.

Did you select "Record output" on the second track?

Input is from your midi interface (ie into the computer) You want to capture the midi at the output of the track (because the receive is coming in BETWEEN the input and output)

thankyou all for your help.

i thought that a receive midi from ... is like an input from a midi device and i can record this before it's going to my vst.

now its working. it'll be a long step from ableton to reaper but i'm not the usual musician i'm more experimental.

To make it easier imagine the following: Consider the left part of the screen, the Track Control Panel, as sort of a black box. If you now want to record something from external gear eg. microphone or whatever, it has to go through this and you can decide whether it sould be directly recorded (record input) or it be recorded processed e.g. through an FX-plug-in (record output). Now if you have a plug-in-synth inserted on the track, it's an, so to say, outside part of that blackbox. Its (the synth's) output goes into the blackbox. If you want to record the synth's signal, you have to record the TCPs output. Same goes for a signal that comes from another track into that track or, as mentioned, an FX plug-in that you inserted after the input (record output).

I know, the comparison is a bit quirky, but that's in general the rule:

All signals that are created or altered inside Reaper are recorded with record output (because you record Reaper's output) and all signals that come from outside of Reaper and should be recorded unaltered are recorded with record input (because you record Reaper's input).

So, how do you record the synth's notes so you can hear them in wav format? I guess I am not grasping how you take a track with an FX, let's say synth, EZdrummer, Reaanything and turn it into wav, whether you see it below in a new take, or onto a new track below, OK, hope this can be worked out, psingman

This video may help, it deals with Kontakt but the routing principles are the same:

OK, again, these methods don't work. I have tried almost every conceivable way. Please, how do you play back a GM effect, like seashore, or helicopter so it will be rendered when you mix down. Note the last phrase, as it plays back, when you go to render, nada. Hope you can help, need it badly, psingman
