Default No midi in Carla patchbay?

Finally made the complete move - no more wine, just Linux and Reaper <3

LinVST gave awful performance on my previous laptop, but I've got a new (used) one now, and everything is just sweet hunky dory! (well, almost )

However, I'd like to be able to use native Linux-plugins, and hooray: Carla VST is there to help me! However, there's absolutely no midi-input inside the bay when I load it in reaper?

Anyone tried that before? Any hints?

When I load Carla within REAPER it is REAPER that receives midi, and Carla is simply a VSTi plugin that receives the midi that is on the track it is patched on.

Well maybe I am misunderstanding something?

When I load a Carla patchbay, it's empty. Then I add a plugin, and the plugin becomes visible in the Carla-canvas. At that point I have to connect the plugin to the in/out nodes in the patchbay, right? I do that - but no MIDI ever reaches the plugin.

Take a look here: https://youtu.be/MA0orZ6MNAk

He is using qtractor but it would work in Reaper also. Scroll forward to approx 15 minuters in the video.

He has more great videos on LMMS and Blender, really good stuff.

Can you try :
Code:
a2j -e
And see if it works after.

a2j is running and exporting hardware, so that's not it.

EDIT:

Ah, no, I'm not running the standalone Carla, I'm running the Carla VST inside reaper!
