Hello,
I have recently discovered CopperLan after reading a lot of positive recommendations whilst searching for a Virtual Midi Port Manager to use with Reaper (DAW software from Cockos). I have just started to use this software and I am trying to reproduce a configuration I had when using MIDIYoke and MIDI Ox.
Please note, I only have 1 PC so I only wish to communicate with MIDI devices directly connected to my main PC.
Here is my configuration
Window 7 Professional (64 bit).
CopperLan version 1.4
Reaper version 5.0
5 USB MIDI devices (lets call them MUSB1, MUSB2, MUSB3 etc) which are either MIDI synthesizers connected via USB or Audio / MIDI interfaces.
I have confirmed that MIDI data can be sent directly to each USB MIDI device from Reaper (by selecting each device as an output in the Reaper preferences). I would now like to map each MIDI input / output to a VMIDI port so I can send MIDI data to/from Reaper using the VMIDI ports rather than the addressing the MUSB devices directly.
Please could someone explain how to do this, or point me to a suitable place to learn more. It is my understanding that I should not need to set up any additional port mapping in another application (such as MIDI Ox), but I cannot seem to get my CopperLan snapshot to work (i.e. send MIDI data to VMIDI1 in Reaper, and receive it at the hardware synth).
Thank you
