How to set up virtual midi ports.
How does a person set up a virtual midi port in Reaper?
If this is not possible,
then just say so.

Thank you for your responses.
After researching the capability of Windows, I discovered that Windows doesn't support multiple midi ports.
I found one called loopmidi by Tobias Erichsen. In some cases don't need reacontrol midi. Loopmidi allows up to 21 virtual ports, more than enough for my use.

Gives you more than 16 midi channels to work with.

Reaper features 16 Midi buses for this . Not virtual, but as real as Midi channels, in fact providing 256 channels.
And Windows allows for installing as many (non virtual) Midi devices as you want to, each featuring 16 channels.
This has been discussed in another thread at some length...

I'm sure you are speaking of physical devices.
There is a document/book that had a brief description on reacontrolmidi on the cockos site.
I tried searching for information in the forum and found nothing regarding "reacontrolmidi" if there was something it was not what I was looking for.

reacontrolmidi has nothing to do with this topic.
This is solely a question of Midi routing.

As usual people say they know the answer but have no answer.
My goal is not to use the hardware ports for vsti's. Why use an hardware port when avirtual port will work just fine.

You did not make clear what exactly you are trying to accomplish.
It was nobody else but you you who mentioned any VST (ReaControlMidi) here.
"Virtual Midi Ports" (such as "LoopMidi") have nothing to do with Reaper. Reaper will just be able to use them if they are installed and set up in Windows.
