I then right-click the routing on the TCP, assign to the ARIA Track, and then select instruments for each channel (violin channel 1, piano channel 2). This creates 16 tracks, all called "Out ". When I select that, I do get the routing confirmation pop-up you had mentioned, and if I click YES, I get an ARIA track that says "32 out" on the top right (but not 2/32 out like yours did). However, I have another option called VSTi: ARIA Player (Multi) (Garritan) (32 Out)". The yellow lines in the Mixer tracks 1-3 show the MIDI activity and you can see the audio levels in the meters for tracks 4 and 5.Īnd what does it show when you click on that button? Just for info, the above indicates that it is a 32-channel plug-in on a 2 channel track. The pop-up window shows the track routing - from the two 'MIDI' tracks to the ST3 track, and from the ST3 track (Reaper created multiple channels for the audio on that track) to the 'audio' tracks. You can see the 2 'MIDI' tracks, the SampleTank 3 (ST3) track and the tracks for the audio output from ST3. Here's the equivalent, using a different theme and SampleTank 3: Then add a Piano instrument, set it to receive from MIDI channel 02 and send to the next two outputs. In GPO, add a Violin instrument, set it to receive from MIDI channel 01 and send to the first two outputs The Violin MIDI is on MIDi channel 01 and the piano is on MIDI channel 02, so we do not need to do any more routing in Reaper. Right-click the button on one of them, select 'Sends' then the Garritan / ARIA track In the Build Routing Confirmation dialogue window, click - this creates multiple tracks for GPO's audio output and routes to them automatically.ĭisable RecArm on the Garritan / ARIA track (we already have the MIDI) Open the FX Browser, find GPO and drag it to the empty area below the Track Control Panels (TCPs) for the 2 'MIDI' tracks Load the "Comptine dun Autre Ete.mid" file and expand it to two tracks.
Later on you will find many other approaches. Good oh now we're talking :) You won't understand all of this right now, but this is just to get you started and some sound out of Reaper. I have exhausted Finale's playback capabilities to try and make more realistic mock-ups but there's not enough complexity in there, which is why I've decided to explore DAW. Reaper is linked to it (it shows up in Preferences -> Plug-Ins -> VST). Yes, my Finale playback was linked to Garritan's Arria Player, and I'm using Garritan's "Personal Orchestra 5" collection of instruments.
