With some more thought I suppose I could have found a way to send that same sound to the Layla analogue outputs which would have then gone out to my monitors via my mixer.120 MB General MIDI SoundFont bank ($69.95) I was able to route the midi to work on my computer speakers. You're no doubt right that the issue was more of a routing issue than a midi issue. Well all's good now that I've figured out what to do with sfz. It sounds like your MIDI is not talking to your audio and you configure that in two places in the preferences dialog box. If it is a different input - USB, separate USB / MIDI input, then select that in preferences. What are you using for MIDI? If it's on the same card (for example, an A/D converter that also has MIDI), then select that in the MIDI devices in preferences. The issue sounds like an audio setup.Īre your monitors set up to go through your Layla card? If so, set up the card in preferences and disable your other cards in the same location. I'm not necessarily sure I understand your issue, but it doesn't sound like it's MIDI. Now I've got a great click track for that style of blues, where the tempo can be adjusted in a second! I can do the same for rock, bosa nova or whatever. While experimenting right now, I googled "Stormy Monday midi", imported the file to reaper and deleted all the instrument tracks except for drums. You can record midi with all kinds of drum patterns from a keyboard or grab them from midi songs online. I find it easier to record tracks to something that resembles a real instrument rather than just a click. My main use for midi is to have click tracks that sound like a drum set. It sure made my son surprised when his keyboard started playing all by itself, but my real goal was to get the midi track to behave more like all the other tracks in reaper, running out to my monitors. But then I had to send the midi out from the layla to my keyboard to hear it. Last night while experimenting I was able to get it to direct the midi to my layla20 card. then I used sfz with the nskit soundfont. What I did was to tell reaper that I don't want it to go to any hardware. Got a message that said that the effect is not for this.Īll I really need this for right now are a few drum instruments hi-hat, bass & snare rim.Īctually, I'm at work on a different computer away from the layla20. Is there a soundfont I'm supposed to be loading to get ReaSynth to produce sound? Can someone give me some guidance? I tried a few from the KVR website and they didn't work. I'm assuming that once I figure that out, it will play back to the same routing location as everything else in Reaper, which is to my Layla soundcard (and then out to ->mixer -> monitors). Anyhow the family uses the computer too and I'd like to leave the basic sound card doing what it always did) The problem I'm having is that the sound is playing back on my computer speakers and not my recording monitors. It plays back just fine if I use the SBlive card or the Microsoft GS Wavetable. I recorded a midi track using a keyboard. There must be something so basic that I am missing here. Now that I'm trying out Reaper I tried again. I have tried to understand basics of midi a few years ago and moved on.
