[RWP] Midi Input

[Indigo]

You don't do anything to make it a midi track.
All tracks in Reaper can be used for either audio or midi, both on the 
same track if you want.
You can hear both audio and midi coming through at the same time on the 
same track.
If you want to shut off the audio I'd go to the IO Routing dialog and 
point the receive of your selected track away from your audio device
Either that, or shut off incoming audio in your sound card's control panel.
Your selected track is apparently already receiving midi, and you must 
have monitor on in track options, so you're hearing your incoming midi 
playing ReaSynth.
you should be able to record midi on the selected track, or audio, or 
both simultaneously on that track, as far as I understand.
I haven't tried to separate audio and midi onto different tracks after 
they're recorded onto the same track, but that would be an interesting 
experiment.
Regards,
Indigo
