[RWP] controling soft synths in the latest verssion of reaper with the korg micro control usb keyborred?

[Indigo]

Well, if your Korg controller needs its own USB driver, that's the first 
thing to install.
Then, you need to get the controller enabled in Reaper, and in the 
configuration dialog, you set the controller  to transmit midi messages.
So, here's how, mostly:
1. install the Korg's USB driver, if it needs one.
2. plug it into a powered USB port on your computer.
3. Bring up Reaper, and press ctrl+P to go to options/preferences.
4. navigate to midi device.
5. tab down to the place where your Korg controller is named.
6. Get the word enabled to appear after its name.
Here's how:
1. get focus on the Korg's name or thereabouts, then route focus over to 
your number pad cursor, by whatever method is required in your 
particular screenreader.
2. At your number pad get focus on the Korg's name.
3. Right click at the number pad and the configuration dialog should appear.
4. click enter on the configuration dialog  and it will open, so you can 
place checkmarks on use to transmit midi messages.
5. when you finish configuring the controller, tab down to OK and press 
enter.
This is how I configured several control surfaces that work flawlessly 
in Reaper to control software plugs.
There's also a topic in options/preferences for control surfaces, where 
you can get your control surface going; but I've used that less, so 
someone else can cover that topic.
