Clicking on the keys does play the VI, BUT doing so while recording STILL does not result in MIDI events being recorded.
(Clicking on the "track data" brings up the MIDI EDITOR "Piano Roll"......not the Virtual Midi Keyboard.

The difference is you can't record from the Piano Roll afaik.

If you want to try recording with the Virtual Midi Keyboard do the following :

On the Reaper Track
1)Enable record and monitoring
2)Load a VSTi
3)From the Track Input dropdown choose MIDI >> Virtual Midi Keyboard.
4)Go to VIEW >> Virtual Midi Keyboard.
Press the MAIN REC button and click some keys on the Virtual Keyboard.

You should be able to record and hear the VSTi.)


You have to ascertain whether you have your AUDIO set up to actually hear anything from Reaper.
Edit - sorry, you said you can.

As far as your hardware MIDI keyboard input.....you'll have to go over all of the settings again to make double sure.

If you like I'll send you a PM and go over all of the details - let me know if you want to do that.
(Sounds like you should have posted in newbieland as your whole setup needs looking into).

If you are getting absolutely no response from your hardware midi keyboard then there is obviously a problem there.

Is your Keyboard showing up in the Reaper Track Input dropdown?
ie Input > MIDI > (your keyboard)?
