selecting midi devices.
Unlike audio devices in reaper, MIDI devices are a little different. While in reaper you just arrow down to the audio device and that is what it selects, MIDI devices are a little different. You not only have to select the MIDI device in reaper preferences, but you also have to enable them. Here are the steps to enable your MIDI devices.
- Press CTRL+P to get into reaper preferences.
- Once in the tree view, press the letter m until you hear MIDI devices.
- Tab past the ok and cancel buttons until you get to the first list view. This will a list of all the MIDI inputs reaper sees.
- Pick the MIDI input you want to enable from the list view.
- Either press the applications key to invoke the context menu and press enter on enable, or press CTRL+enter to open the configuration dialogue box. When that dialogue box opens, check the enable input from this device checkbox and press enter to close it.
- Tab past the add joystick button, the next list view will be your MIDI outputs.
- Select the output or outputs you want to enable and repeat the same steps as above for input devices.
- Press enter or tab to OK to close the preferences dialogue.
