[RWP] midi controller

[Jim Snowbarger]

I have an old Mark of the unicorn Fast lane midi output device.  It works 
great with sonar.
Actually,  I have never managed to make midi work at all with reaper. 
Congratulations to those of you who have.
Following the options preferences path, I have both channels on the midi 
device enabled.
So, I create a track.
Focused on the track, I presss tab, and get to record mode.   Up and down 
arrow reveal, among other things midi replace, midi overdub, midi output. 
Not sure what midi output does.  But, one of the others seems applicable. 
So, I choose midi replace.
Continuing to tab across, I see midi output set to fast lane port A, which 
seems correct.
But, escaping back to the track, then shift+context key, and arrowing up to 
Midi output, reveals none, or another midi output device that I don't want 
to use.  Fast lane is not in the list. Not sure why.
And, if I arm the track, with monitor enabled, it is in audio mode, not 
midi.
Is this interface an inscrutible, nonintuitive   pain in the ass or what.
Help desperately needed.
Suggestions welcome.
