Can be possible to send some midi (notes or CC) to MIDI OUT port when recording is starting/ending? We try to light a bulb "WE'RE RECORDING!" but we can't get a signal from Reaper. We tried tools like Winspector or Window Detective to find internal messages but it's for us like reverse engineering or magic so we stopped
There's many schemes which gives you an opportunity to control external devices via USB, like this one:

(sorry, polish only)
there's even a simple software with sources included (delphi
)), and using this:

you can switch the lights with MIDI.
We even thought that it would be cool if "Recording" button will light Scroll Lock LED, 'cause you can use transmitter and switch an external light almost directly).
