They are named --RACK-- something. Same thing with the default name of the recorded files ($RACKitem... something), which I changed.
That's mixer FX Rack. You can show it/hide it with the shortcut 'F' or by right-clicking mixer master track and selecting Show mixer FX rack....

I left it loaded in template projects so it doesn't go missed but you can hide it and all these tracks will disappear from your project. You can then proceed to resave project templates so you never see it again.

It's 5 tracks that are meant to hold your favorite FX and instruments. You populate them with FX you want to use and then save them as track template (explained in the user guide), you can see it in action here (image)

I personally have it fully populated and all of my FX are set offline but I key-binded this REAPER ReWorked script:
Code:
Script: Track FX - Set last offline FX in mixer track online and float (show at mouse cursor...).lua
to my mouse so whenever I drag some offline FX from mixer FX rack, I just hover my mouse over the track where I draged FX and run that script once so it puts last offline FX online. Works a treat!

I've not been using this feature for a long time so I'm kinda rusty but basically just check buttons in Main toolbar (they are next to freeze buttons) or go to View->Sequencer and check menu entries. Basically, when you enable sequencer auto record option, any armed track with MIDI input will get automatically populated with sequencer (which should also automatically pop up) and while it's on (the option to auto record into sequencer) it will not record into track but into sequencer. And that's pretty much it. After you're done, because loaded sequencer preset has predetermined triggers, you can show/hide track that contains all the sequencer trigger items and just control-drag them (to copy them) to sequencer track.

Here's the licecap:

For the rest of the stuff, it's best to refer to sequencer documentation. I've supplied a basic manual for Megababy sequencer and you can find it in Menu->Documentation. The included version of the sequencer is nandy's mod of Megababy sequencer and as far as I know it doesn't have it's own thread - you can find it here: https://stash.reaper.fm/v/20869/seq%20megababy%20nm

Here's a short description on how the sequencer works:
https://reaperblog.net/2014/09/js-ef...ncer-megababy/

Remember, the included Megababy sequencer that comes with REAPER ReWorked is even further modded version so it reacts to various REAPER ReWorked menu entries/toolbar buttons that enable/disable record and enable/disable pattern switching.

One last thing I think I didn't explain is that when you record pattern switches of the patterns you recorded into sequencer, you can use one of the sequencer menu entries to convert it to induvidual sequencer midi items. Bonus, hidden feature, is that if you select existing pattern selector in pattern selector track, it will use that color.

Would this be compatible with Orchestra Template for Reaper?

I don't see why not if OTR is supplying only templates - REAPER ReWorked is like a basic REAPER vanilla configured to act as a good starting point so if OTR just gives you the templates, there shouldn't be any problems as far as I can tell. The only problems that could arise is if OTR requires you to mod REAPER somehow, but I haven't used OTR so I can't tell at first glance if that's the case.

It records any MIDI in the background so if you improvised and didn't hit record, you can still get what you've played
