So in VEP if you go to the mixer view at the bottom of each channel strip you'll probably see MASTER BUS as the output for each VEP channel. Each of the audio tracks is configured to recieve from VEP on each of the stereo tracks VEP is capable of sending. So you'll end up with 16 channels already configured as midi tracks (sending to the VEP track) and 32 channels already configured as audio tracks (recieving from the VEP track). In the options menu of the FX window there are a couple of options that let you do this. So if you start with a track and add FX (VEP - 32 out). The simplest thing to do is to let Reaper create the midi and audio tracks for the plugin. Winknotes, you've cited 'Net1, Net2, etc in both this thread and the other thread that you were helping me out a few days ago in - I don't see these options for output - perhaps I've have an incorrect head.but not giving up
EWQLSO ROUTING REAPER HOW TO
In VEP I pick a sampletank channel, change output from '1Master Bus' to a pair of outputs - in my case as I'm typing 'OUT1/OUT2' and that's as far as I get - I don't know how to return 'OUT1/OUT2' into a channel of choice within Reaper.Īny thoughts folks would care to offer would be considered a fine X-mas gift! This is the same problem that I'm having with my 'audio' only tests, ha ha, at least I'm performing the wrong procedure consistently.regardless of it's origins being either midi or audio. My objective (like the Reaper user before me in this thread)is to return VEP tracks (midi triggered from Reaper) into audio files back into seperate audio tracks into Reaper.įor the life of me, I'm unable to snag audio from VEP as anything but through the VEP track in Reaper, feed by VEP's Master Bus. What I don't have is access to Youtube - the country where I'm traveling for the next 30 days has restricted youtube - as such, I am unable to watch the tutorial cited above. In my particular instance, I have 1 track in reaper with VEP being feed by 4 midi tracks (from reaper) which trigger 4 midi channels in VEP (sampletank.) All audio returns by way of VEP's Master Bus to arrive in reaper's VEP track - whew - thanks for the instructions. Hi - I've mangaged the first part of instructions above. I don't get the impression many here use Reaper, but I know there are a few of us out there :) If I have time I'll put together some sort of tut on how to do this. If you don't change the routing inside VE everything will sound out of the first audio track Reaper created in step 1. or you won't hear sound coming out of each audio channel you've created. Again make sure you change the output of your VE channels to NET1/2, NET3/4, etc. So now you should have 1 track for VE, 16 tracks of midi all routed to VE and 32 tracks of audio. Start creating midi tracks as posted earlier, OR I believe you can have Reaper do it for you by opening the FX panel for your VE track and in one of the menus you can have it create midi tracks for this effect.Ĥ. This step will route the various VE channel's sounds to the audio outputs Reaper created for you in step 1.ģ. Load your instruments in VE and in VE's mixer change each track's output to NET1/2, NET3/4, etc. Insert your virtual instrument as done on the video and let Reaper create all the audio outputs.Ģ. You don't have to actually render the midi tracks to audio tracks to accomplish this.ġ. It should be fairly straightforward once you get the hang of it, as Reaper's routing is incredibly flexible and powerful. Please let me know if you have any problems. Then you should have instruments happily feeding MIDI into Vienna Ensemble. Add another Receive until you have all of the tracks there. Then the MIDI icon turns green, which tells you it's a MIDI-only connection. If you like, you can also click on the left Audio menu (probably looking like "1/2") and choose "None". Change the destination channel to the relevant channel you would like to use in Vienna Ensemble.ĥ. The one you want to focus on is the MIDI (bottom right) part. You should now have additional options appearing just below the menu you clicked on. If you do it from the MIDI track instead, you need to do the same thing but under "- Sends -".Ĥ. Under "- Receives -" click on "Add new receive." and select your other track with the MIDI on it. For argument's sake, I'll assume you opened the I/O on the Vienna Ensemble track (it is easier to do many at once that way). In the default theme, it should appear as a square "I/O" icon between the track name and the track fader.ģ. Open the I/O routing window (on either the Vienna Ensemble track or one of your destination instrument tracks). Set up your Vienna Ensemble instance with all of the instruments assigned to various channels as desired.Ģ. If I understand you correctly, you can do it as follows:ġ. As a fellow Reaper user, maybe I can help.
