[RWP] midi controller

[Derek Lane]

actually, those problems are those that I'm having with midi and reaper as 
well.
You can bring in a mid file, and you get midi tracks that way, but exploring 
the resulting project teaches me absolutely nothing.
The one time I did get midi to work on a track was when I loaded a vst 
plugin which only had midi as an input source.  Once I'd selected all of the 
logical stuff, pressed enter to save the changes, armed and monitered the 
track, I was set.
The virtual interface you get when you press tab saves your changes when you 
press enter, and instantly reverts  if you press escape.
