how to play a vst instrument in sampletank 3

Most of the time I'm using my good old Roland U20 (I still won't bring it to an antique dealer) as midi keyboard. Haven't tried using individual channels but that's one of the places I'd look if you can't hear playback. Maybe it's a channel issue? I record all of my MIDI input using 'All Channels'. So, from own now lets say that REAPER supports VST-Instruments as well, that is, if you use the EnergyXT effect plugin. Save it in REAPER and there is your VST-instrument sound sequence, right in a REAPER track. Play it in EnergyXT, and let REAPER record it as a wave. Open EnergyXT's Midi sequencer and write a part for the instrument. Use the first (midi) track, and set its output to a VST-instrument of your choice. Open EnergyXT's sequencer(midi and audio tracks). Now activate, in REAPER, the EnergyXT program. Set the I/O button of the track on your soundcard, and the IN button in REAPERS Mixer on OUT (the 'record: channel output) mode. Once you'll have EnergyXT installed, open the EnergyXTE effect plugin in a REAPER track. You'll find various free tutorials online.ĮnergyXT comes in 3 versions: VST-instrument, VST-effect and standlone. For recording VST-instruments in REAPER it will be necessary to learn some ins and outs of EnergyXT. You need the amazing EnergyXT (, where you can download a highly operational shareware version a license to this superb program will cost you only 39 euros) to do so. By means of trial and error, I suppose I found a way to 'directly' record VST instruments in REAPER.
