[RWP] Using reaper with midi and hardware sounds?

[Tor Tollhag]

Hi again.
Well today I imported a midi file into reaper that I had recorded with
my keybord in qws.
I managed to get all 3 tracks in reaper and I saw the midi items there.
However I didn't here any audio.
I had my keybord set to performance mode and local off mode.
When opening this file in qws the audio bit works perfectly.
Tried to mess with changing the midi output to my focusrite soundcard
and still no audio. Midi input on all tracks should be set to my
juno-g keybord surely.
I feel pretty stupid, I must be missing something. Also tried arming /
unarming the tracks and turning record monitor on and off, without any
audable results.

I really need some help with this.
