[RWP] MIDI keyboards and Reaper

[Indigo]

Hi Deronke,
I'm a beginner too, after much struggling, I just got my midi keyboard to send midi messages into Reaper an hour ago.
Yea, success at last!
Now I can go ahead and really learn how to use Reaper, which looks to have real potential.
One tip if you're having problems getting your midi keyboard to work with Reaper, I expected to find the name of my keyboard controller, which is an Edirol PCR-300.
My E-Mu 0404 PCI sound card was the only midi device listed in Midi Devices.
Once I realized that I should right click on the sound card's  input and output and change disabled to enabled, plus select to have controller messages sent from the input, I then got sounds from ReaSynth and other synth plugs in Reaper.

There are loads of freeware VST plugs available on the web.
I'll try to find some links to sites with free plugs and post them here.

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.
