In reaper you want to find your sound card in the audio options, but if you can record audio, then maybe you can do this already? So I guess you would find your edirol soundcard in the audio options?
and your guitar is plugged into that?

Thanks for helping out mtthw!
I am making some progress.
A couple of days ago I discovered that under:
Sounds and Audio Devices Properties:
Midi music playback, default device (it wasn't set to UA-25EX)
Now I'm not saying that this is the solution, just something else to check.
I have the drivers installed for the UA-25EX, it's working.
My Roland GR-1 controller/synth didn't come with drivers.
Here's the problem as I see it.
When I record Midi now, I am seeing the midi show up on the track.
When I record I don't hear any Midi/synth at all, just acoustic guitar.
On playback, if I have the track set to (midi out) UA-25EX I hear nothing.
If I change midi out to MS GS Wavetable synth, I hear midi but it sounds
terrible and out of synch.
What I would like to have happen is this:
Use my GR-1 as a guitar controller and synth, which it is fully capable of.
Failing that, use the GR-1 as the controller and use a DXi software synth (not sure how to access it in Reaper).
And finally have the midi-synth sounds coming out of the same speakers (USB)
that currently have my audio.
The other day I was able to get my GR-1 synth sounds coming out of an external amp and speakers but I'd prefer not to use an external amp for recording/monitoring.
To answer your question about my guitar.
It's isn't plugged into the UA-25EX audio port. It's plugged into my GR-1 and the midi outs/ins are plugged into the UA-25EX midi ports. Then the UA-25EX is plugged into my computer via USB.
Thanks again!
