Create a track, record arm it, choose a MIDI input as its input, set monitoring on, add a VSTi plug-in to the track's effect list, and so on.. you can also drag midi files into the track, or record midi files, etc...

Hi Justin,
I got REAPER up and running on my standard XP machine and have been trying to get MIDI working. I can add VST plugins and receive MIDI and monitor the input, but when I try to record no data appears to be recorded. I end up with an extremely short item in the track located somewhere near where I start playing. If I try to extend the length of the item I get an "OFFLINE" message.
If I select "Item Properties --> Source Properties" I get a "File not found" message, but if I browse to the indicated directory I can see a midi file with the corresponding name.
Any ideas what I might be doing wrong?
Cheers,
Malcolm.

Can you try playing the midi file in another application, and see if it plays there? I'll narrow down if it's the MIDI reader or writer that is messing up

Hi Justin,
The midi files that REAPER created opened fine in FL Studio. It looks like it's the reader.
Cheers,
Malcolm.

OK, thanks! Funny that they seem to record OK for me, mind sending me the problematic files?

MIDI recording works fine here (win2K). But a couple issues came up.
The first time my RME audio buffers were set to 1024 and I had quite a bit of crackiling in the audio when monitoring a VSTi. When I went to change the buffers, the program crashed and shut down (the program). I went and changed the buffers to 512 and restarted the program and recorded MIDI again - this time with no problem, and the MIDI file on the timeline looks and plays correctly.
One thing I noticed though is that the MIDI channels in the selection pull-down for input device are numbered 0-15. While that is how the MIDI data looks, the MIDI channels are typically named 1-16 on most MIDI devices.

Great! I got the reader working on these. Seems the parser didn't know how to deal with the MIDI event 0xFE (active sensing?). I made it ignore it (correctly I hope, but I'm new to MIDI .

Hi Justin,
1. Do you sleep?
2. Having thought about it, I'd settle for a solid implementation of ReWire over full MIDI editing features.
I already have a few programs that have superb MIDI capabilities (and I suspect most people into MIDI would already have their favourite sequencer).
What I've been missing is the ability to record audio in sync with my sequencer/s, and it looks like REAPER could fit this role perfectly.
Have you thought about implementing ReWire support?
Cheers,
Malcolm.

1. Yes I love sleep, I try to get 10-12 hours a night, even.
2. Well, maybe we can do both rewire and MIDI editing... I gotta email propellerheads and see if I can get the rewire SDK...
But now I take a couple days off and go skiing...

Cool. I'd love to be able to sync Reason and FL Studio to REAPER. Hope you get good snow.
