PLZ HELP! how to manage MIDI in multichannell vst-Instruments???
--------Hi Everybody---------
Big problem here:
I can't use the tracks coming from a vst instruments (Atlas, in my example)to write the midi score. In fact only the track where the instrument is present reads and plays the midi note, the other tracks added by defalt by reaper play audio BUT do not play MIDI in any way! (I tried all possible combinations!)
MANY thanx for your reply!

That is to be expected.
If you want to output midi, create a new track for each midi channel used and send those midi channels from the instrument track (and no audio). Then set those tracks to record midi output, record arm them and hit record.
There might be an easier way, but that's how I would do it.

many thanks for your reply but I already have all 16 tracks playing audio and i don't understand why those tracks can't send midi data to the main instrument track....

Perhaps you can ZIP up a small project file (no audio samples needed) and post it here as an attachment. Then we can understand the problem better and offer some more guidance.
Can you confirm that this is the plug-in?

how have you set up your MIDI sends to the main VSTi track?
I often make my VSTi track a folder and the MIDI tracks its children if i want to quickly set up multi-timbral MIDI.
but i'm possibly misunderstanding the issue?

Wait, if those output tracks are receiving audio then the instrument plugin must already be receiving midi.
I'm a bit confused about what you want to achieve now.

audio and midi multi-tracks must be DIFFERENT? (16 audio tracks+16 midi tracks?)
Many thanx

It receives midi ONLY in the track where the Vsti is placed
so if i place the midi clip there it works,BUT if I want separate midi clips for kick,snare,hat...each on his track (who's playing audio), it doesn't work
So I'd like to have 16 differents tracks playing audio (kick,snare,hats,tom...)
and in those same tracks, put the midi clips corresponding to appropriate drum sound so I can visually see and edit the arrangement really fast.
I hope now I have explained myself and sorry for the bad english!

right, sounds like you want to do what Reaper considers as feedback in routing.
you can do it by ticking the box to allow this in project settings / advanced
it can cause problems though, so maybe best to just be traditional and have audio & MIDI on separate tracks

Yes, as you've seen, that is the standard approach. And safer and smoother than messing with the feedback option. If you want to streamline your view, you could hide the audio output tracks in the timeline view and hide the tracks that contain the MIDI parts in the mixer view.
