Thanks everybody for the responses so far. You've given me a few different avenues to try, but I still have questions.

I theoretically installed MIDI-Yoke on my Windows 10 computer but...I'm at a loss on how to send the signal to it. I don't see the device name in Device Manager. I don't see MIDI-Yoke in Reaper's MIDI preferences, since it doesn't appear to show up like a normal MIDI device. (That is, assuming that the driver was actually installed and is ready to work.) I've been unable to find good step-by-step instructions on how to make this work.

This sounds like an interesting idea, but, again, I've been unable to find step-by-step instructions to make this work, and I'm not sure if I want to spend days diving into the OSC feature when I was looking for basically a quick fix for my velocity levels.

*EDIT #1*: Sadly, the script that's linked in that forum post is no longer downloadable from DropBox (https://forum.cockos.com/showpost.ph...2&postcount=99 ). Having something like that would go a long way toward figuring out how to implement this.

*EDIT #2*: I have MIDI to OSC almost figured out. Jump down to the next post in this thread.

The controller uses a single track with appropriate midi preprocessing plugins. The midi output of that track is routed by Reaper's very versatile midi routing features to as many tracks as necessary that e.g. hold the VST instrument plugins.
Hmmm...I'm using the Orchestral Template for Reaper (http://otr.storyteller.im ) and part of the appeal of working with this setup is that you simply choose a track with the VSTi you want and it automatically arms that track for recording. It's an excellent, fast, efficient way to work. Is there any way to keep this sort of workflow (just click on a track, it's armed for recording) but still do what you're suggesting with a single track of MIDI preprocessing plugins?
