What am I missing? MIDI buses/ MIDI channel issue (SOLVED)
I put a reasynth (or any other instrument) on the fxchain, and by default it is set like this:
Now if i draw notes in a midi item on channel 2, why does reasynth still plays them?
i guess maybe "midi buses" and "midi channel" is not the same thing, but if so how can i achieve what am i looking for?
Thank you!

The Vsti is on MIDI Bus 1, not just MIDI Channel 1. All you need to do is have a separate 'slave' track for your MIDI input, then use the i/o routing to send MIDI channels to the 'master' Vst track as required.
If you set the slave track MIDI out to MIDI Bus 1 rather than individual channels on Bus 1, you'll get the same effect.

Each bus contains 16 MIDI channels. It's merely a way of getting beyond the traditional 16 channel limit. Most synths are set up to receive every MIDI channel and don't care at all about MIDI busses.
I might be mistaken, but the busses are strictly Reaper and only affect MIDI sent from other tracks. Track input MIDI will always reach the plugins unless you introduce some kind of MIDI filter or change the receiving channel on the synth itself.
What are you trying to do? Why put MIDI on a track if you don't want it to do anything?

RS5000 has selectable MIDI channels, so you can have MIDI-independent instances on the one track. Not Reasynth, that I can see.

Thank you bolgwrad for the explanation =)It's a bit cumbersome to do this but understood! It should be simpler ..

Thank you for the explanation foxAsteria!
Some FX plugin are able to receive midi for performing several kind of tasks and they react to playing notes, so in the scenario that we have a chain like:
FXchain:
Instrument
Plugin (controlled by midi)
we are not able to reach the plugin without the instrument playing them
So my idea was to make a sequence on channel 1 to reach the intrument and a sequence on channel 2 to reach only the plugin.

I think ReaLearn could do it. It can target specific instances of a plugin and each mapping could listen for a different source channel.
But seems like busses should work as well. If you use a couple MIDI filter plugins and send each to a different bus. Then receive the busses in the two other plugins the same way.
