Default routing hardware synths (more info added)

Hi, so previously I had been using a MOTU MTP AV that used clockworks, another software to handle all the routing.

the MTP is acting up so I'm trying to us a MOTU midi express 128, which doesn't use clockworks, so I have to route in reaper.

I CANNOT figure it out.

forgive me, I've searched the manual, i've searched the everything... poorly apparently, but still! please help!

I use two keyboard synths (blofeld, ensoniq SQ-80) to also control two rack synths, and then also use a Korg padKontrol to trigger a rack drum synth.

ideally I want to create a series of templates/presets. for example, setup 1, "blofeld master" has the blofeld keyboard trigger everything, setup 2, blofeld triggers rack synths but not SQ-80, etc etc

how does one route hardware synths within Reaper?!

Thanks y'all

I should give more info of what I HAVE done:

MOTU midi express 128 was added and configured in Audio MIDI Setup
MIDI inputs and outputs are enabled in Reaper preferences

2 tracks monitor and record inputs armed, record enabled

1st track, Blofeld (master) -- Input - MIDI - motu port 1

2nd track, Triton rack (slave) -- Input - MIDI - motu port 7 (it just happens to be 7)


NOW HOW TO SEND MIDI FROM THE BLOFELD TO THE TRITON?

ok.. the "route" button.

ok.. top right.. MIDI Hardware Output

So on routing for Triton track 2, I change the MIDI Hardware Output to port 1 (blofeld)?
this should work now no?
do I also have to specify channels?

Do SENDS and RECEIVES have anything to do with this??

I CAN successfully record and play back MIDI on the Blofeld btw.

It sounds like you are confusing input with output. The Triton midi hardware out needs to go to the Triton (7?). You need to set the record input of Triton track to the port the Blofeld is connected to.....it will be exactly the same as the Blofeld track input is set if that is recording midi ok.
