It might be related to
Preferences > Media > Set media items offline when application is not in use
But it would be much easier to diagnose the problem and suggest specific approaches, if you can attach either a screenshot (of the Track and MIDI file) or the .RPP Project File to a post.

the guide says I have to assign a Channel (supposedly MIDI channel) to the item, but it didn't explain how

If you're talking about chapter 3.30 Recording MIDI ("You will need to assign a Channel for the MIDI item"): By default MIDI channel 1 is used for recording MIDI notes to MIDI Items.
The easiest way would be to use
Insert > virtual instrument on new track… (3.32 Recording With a Virtual Instrument) which sets up all necessary Track settings (MIDI input: all channels, Record armed + Input Monitoring enabled) automatically.
