Loosing MIDI (FIXED)

All of a sudden i'm loosing my midi connection to my hardware synth. Closing Reaper,re-opened the prog(sometimes 3times!!!)and the midi's back and for no reason after some work in the prog midi's gone again. Unreliable midi prog for me. btw.same setup for years works flawlessly under sx3.

I've narrowed down this problem to record enabling 2 or more midi tracks each routed to a hardware synth using the same controller input (i.e.layering 2 hardware synths). One of them gets a stuck note and then I need to restart Reaper. Happens within a couple of minutes of physically playing the controller through Reaper. Can anyone confirm this with V2.58 on Windows 64 run as a 32 bit program? Thanks.

I'm having problems sending to external midi too. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't work at all, even if I restart Reaper and reconfig and everything. I have not been able to narrow down a consistent pattern to it....I wish I could, its driving me mad after hours and hours of futzing around. There is no ryhmn or reason to it. Sometimes it will be playing...the midi out is not working....then all of a sudden there will be an explosive flush of the midi port it seems and everything will work fine after that...this while I'm doing absolutely nothing other than playing midi...

Might help to put down some specifics: What OS-32 bit/64 bit?, mac?, soundcard, version of Reaper etc. Also simplify your Reaper project to the one midi track that is a problem. Do you still have the problem? BTW I went back to my 32 bit windows boot drive and when I run the same project from there I do not have the midi problem. When I couple that with the fact that I also can not open the ASIO configuration from within Reaper (in the 64 bit boot drive/32 bit Reapoer project)and have to use the icon at the bottom of the screen (start up programs) this indicates to me that running 64 bit with Reaper as a 32 bit program is not so good for the midi driver stuff.

32bit windows. And yes, only one midi track.

I rolled back to version 2.5.5 of Reaper, which seems to have cured the problem. So whatever they did in 2.5.6 may have broken external midi in some way.

midi output problem

Same problem here, windows32 and im using an external midi controller. I can reproduce the problem : ->I create 1 midi track, i add notes, send the output to the synth, play. It's working fine until I start messing with the space bar (stop & play). Then the midi signal is not reaching my controler. the only way to make it work is to close reaper and reopen it. I tried running csx3 (at the same time, sending to the same output) and it is working fine so I don't think the problem is from my controller. I hope it helps Jo

Loosing midi connections

Last time I replied everything appeared to work fine with Windows XP 32. Now with ver 3.0 I'm seeing some lost midi control. Nothing specific I'm doing, Reaper just stops sending out to my MOTU MTP-AVs or back to my USB controller. I've had the same problem with an S90ES controller using USB and now a Kurz PC3x as the USB controller. BTW this is the real time "thru" capability I'm talking about. I'm not recording when this happens although multiple track records are enabled to get Reaper to pass through the midi data. When it does crap out I still see the red midi light lighting up on the enabled tracks. Also VSTi soft synths still work fine.
