[RWP] Using reaper with midi and hardware sounds?

[Ken Downey]

I'll be putting the podcast up in the next day or two, and hopefully it'll 
help some. I'm laying down an electronic wind instrument sax track or a 
piece I'm working on at the moment, but as soon as I'm done I'll start 
editing that podcast. It sounds like it's needed, and it also sounds like 
I'll be adding more material before I upload it.

>>> When using it with qws I set it up so local mode is off, so the only
