Default Importing BIAB MIDI files/playback

Hi,

I have BIAB and transferred a MIDI file into REAPER which has then been opened out into 7 tracks. For some reason I can't get REAPER to play the tracks back. I can assign VST instruments but I don't hear anything.


I recorded some MIDI myself and had no problems getting it to play back using Kontakt 5 VST instruments.

Any ideas?

Did you ever find an answer?
I've run into this on occasion and am dealing with it tonight. Copying MIDI to a new track doesn't work; trimming excess data doesn't work.
The only way I've found to make it work is to "replace" every note on the MIDI grid with a new one. (Ridiculous for piano parts though)

It should be a problem with MIDI channels, especially for VSTI that supports multi track MIDI routing like Kontakt.
Select item and press Ctrl+F2
Set the channel to 1 or other for sending.
Alternatively, right-click on the plugin to automatically establish a multi track MIDI route for VSTI.
