How to setup Maschine in Reaper to read and send MIDI from/to Host?

kmarilleau

Hi,

I'm currently trying to do this in Reaper:

• One Maschine Track:
  • One Group:
    • Each Sound reads MIDI events coming from Dedicated Sound MIDI Channel.
    • Each Sound sends MIDI events to Dedicated Sound MIDI Channel.
    • Each Sound has its Dedicated MIDI Channel (Sound 1 using Channel 1...Sound 16 using Channel 16).
• 16 Midi Tracks:
  • Each Track sends MIDI to Maschine Track and receives MIDI from Maschine Track.
• 16 Audio Outputs receiving audio from Maschine.

Here is my configuration:

Maschine Configuration

Reaper MIDI Tracks Configuration:

Maschine Outputs on Reaper Track:

Audio Tracks Configuration on Reaper:

• Reading MIDI from Reaper Dedicated Midi tracks works.
• Dedicated Audio Outputs work too.
• Playing with Maschine Keyboard on a sound works as Audio Outputs are working.

But suppose I run Record on Reaper with for example the Dedicated MIDI Track 1 and play keyboard on Sound 1 on Maschine. In that case, sounds are audible during recording but when I stop recording, the new MIDI Item created is empty.

I tried everything on Maschine, but I don't see why it doesn't work. Any ideas?

ive tried the templates in the past... they work ok, but i've setup things much differently since figuring out how to just route audio direct.... i personally see no point in transferring midi from Maschine over to Reaper... when the Maschine-plugin deals with it internally, also the ability to run multiple instances of the maschine-plugin on reaper, makes more sense to just work with midi within the maschine plugin enviroment...

heres a little example of how i use maschine in the reaper enviroment
