Default Reaper not obeying MIDI channel for actions

Weird that I never noticed that before:

I have 2 programs saved on my Trigger Finger (USB device with 16 drum pads and faders):
- P01, sending on channel 16, for triggering actions
- P02, sending on channel 1, for actually entering midi notes.
Of course, the device is set to "Enabled+Control", the latter as "Force Channel 16".



Note that the single pads are sending on the respective channel number (monitored it, it's correct), I don't set the channel with the "Global" slider.

Now this occurs:
- Trigger Finger in channel 1 (notes only) program.
- a rec-armed midi track (set to "All inputs" for now) in Reaper.
- I hit a pad, and the action, which should only be triggered with channel 16 events, is executed.

No matter what I change, restrict the input to channel 1 only, filter it in ReaControlMidi to channel 1 only, the Trigger Finger is always treated as a control surface (and as a Midi input device at the same time).

Anybody got a clue what's going on here?

Just as I ran into the same issue again ‒ really nobody?

tl;dr: Reaper triggers actions although the midi channel isn't set to "Control".

I never noticed this “force channel” option, maybe it works different from what you expect? I could imagine that it maps all messages to channel 16 on the control path (not sure when that’s helpful). Did you try setting it back to “source”?

If my hunch is right, an option to set which channels I want to route to the control path and which to the normal recording path would be more useful to me as well.

That was my intuitive first thought too.

Oh! Oh oh oh oh! That's it indeed! Thanks @ gofer!

Who else finds that "MIDI inputs to make available" is badly worded in that case?
