In Reaper you simply load Melody Sauce as a VST plugin onto its own MIDI track, and then route the outgoing MIDI from this track to any software instrument track. Choose your key, mood and complexity options and speed settings to generate customised melodies to fit your project and you're ready to create, audition and select melodies instantly.
Step 1.1 Download the Virtual Instrument (VSTi)
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
How To Load Vst Plugin Reaper Vst
- In REAPER, press [Ctrl] + P (Windows) / [Cmd] + [,] (Mac) to access Preferences.
- Go to Plug-ins > VST.
- 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.
- 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 🙂
