[RWP] Using reaper with midi and hardware sounds?

[Tor Tollhag]

Ah I figured it out. Sorry haha.
I have to set both the midi input and midi output to my keybord.
Then and this is what I forgot, I have to make sure the midi inputs
and outputs is enabled in preferences / midi devices. I had forgot to
enable the midi outputs. Oopsy.
This now means that I can sequence in qws, but I can still edit the
midi file with all tracks in reaper, if I want to extend a section I
can easily copy midi items, so that's great.
