[RWP] MIDI keyboards and Reaper

[powetique.com]

Hey people,
I discovered reaper last week and thanks to Reaaccess I’m exploring it.

I want some input on how to go about using my keyboard to play with reaper. My midi keyboard that is. Since I don’t want to pay for a vst at the moment, can anyone tell me how to do this with any of reaper’s built in plugins? Like Reasamplomatic5000 or reasynth. Can they both do this? Does anyone know where to get some good free patches/ banks?

Also, I’ve got wav files, is there a way to play them through my MIDI keyboard in reaper?

Thanks in advance.
