Step 1.1 Download the Virtual Instrument (VSTi)

As it scanned the VST3 plugins from Waves, it stalled at Greg Wells MixCentric. Then REAPER flat out crashed. When I re-launched REAPER, there was still no sign of the missing VST3 plugins, and MixCentric was one of them. So I contacted Waves support. 1) Ensure the plugin is installed on your system. 2) Ensure the iLok License Manager app is up-to-date on your system. 3) In some cases, you may need to hit 'Clear cache and re-scan VST paths for all plugins'. This will force Reaper to rescan all plugins. Depending on whether you are using the 64-bit or 32-bit edition of Reaper, add the folder for the 64-bit or 32-bit editions of the Kontakt VSTis to Reaper's VST plug-ins path. When you installed Kontakt you should have had the chance to pick the folders; if not, then Search your complete disk for 'Kontakt' to find them.

From this page download the BassMidi VSTi 1.2 zipfile.

Step 1.2 Unzip that file to your VST plugin directory

Two Common directories for VST plugins:

  • C:Program Files (x86)SteinbergVstPlugins
  • C:Program Files (x86)Common FilesVST3

If either of these folders exist or if you have admin privileges on your computer you can unzip the contents of the zipfile to one of the above folders. Since I’m working on a computer with no admin rights I had to make a portable install of Reaper in this folder C:REAPER so I navigated to C:REAPERUserPlugins and made a folder called VST.

Step 1.3 Make sure Reaper knows where your VST has been unzipped to

  1. In REAPER, press [Ctrl] + P (Windows) / [Cmd] + [,] (Mac) to access Preferences.
  2. Go to Plug-ins > VST.
  3. Under “VST Plugin Path,” make sure that the path where you placed your plugins is listed (if not, add it)… see the screenshot for how I added C:REAPERUserPluginsVST after the other two default folders.
  4. Click on Re-Scan and your instrument should be available within Reaper.

Step 2.1 Time to download a Soundfont to open within the VSTi we just installed

A free GM/GS soundfont has been shared here Reality_GMGS_falcomod.sf2 (version 1.2)
Thanks to Falcosoft for sharing the soundfont on this page

Step 2.3 Unzip the Soundfont to a folder / directory where you will store your soundfonts

You might choose to make a folder called “Soundfonts” in a location where you keep your loops and other audio resources… perhaps within the Reaper folder or another area on your computer where you keep things organised.

Step 3.1 Time to try inserting a Virtual Instrument into Reaper using the VSTi and Soundfont we just downloaded.

Note: If Step 1.3 went smoothly and you Re-Scanned the VST folder Reaper should be able to find the new plugin… If not, try re-scanning or perhaps try restarting Reaper. If that fails you will need to check that the directory to where you extracted the VST files is included in the VST plugin folders that Reaper looks in (as per the screenshot in 1.3). If that fails you might need to ask me for some help 🙂

Hopefully you can now hear the sound of a piano when you make use of the virtual MIDI piano

Some links that might have some to check out…

  • A Blog post listing tonnes of different Soundfonts
  • On the Musescore website they have a few more soundfonts available.
