Glad I sorted out that foolishness - lol, now I can have fun learning how to use this thing.

Good to hear you got it working.
The Nektar is a really cool piece of gear. I have the P4 and I love it.
There is so much you can do with it beyond what’s explained in the Reaper version of the manual. I would highly recommend going to the Nektar website and reading (many times) the section on Internal Mode. That’s where the customization happens.

Make sure you understand the ‘actions list’ in Reaper (that’s where you can set up personalized custom keystrokes for basically whatever you want Reaper to do) because you can then program buttons or pads on the Nektar to perform those functions.
For example, you have 20 ‘pad maps’ available to you on the Nektar. I have 3 different pad maps set up exclusively to add virtual instruments to my project. So I just navigate to that pad map, tap the pad I want, and the instrument loads into my project. (And by the way, research Track Templates in Reaper...those are what I have the pads set up to trigger)
I also have a set of pads that navigates my markers in my project. And of course I use some for regular drum sounds.
The possibilities are endless. I’m no pro but I’ll be glad to help you in any way I can.
Congrats!
