Thanks for the great info, Larry! I'll try to answer your questions here...

1. You are running the most current Yamaha (aka Steinberg) USB driver? (sounds like tech support guy doesn't it, sorry) (That's OK, I AM a tech support guy! lol)

Yes, I just did that the other day.

2. Do you have ANY other external MIDI gear that DOES work properly when driven from Reaper over the UR22 MIDI I/O?

I was able to play the MIDI track on my external Yamaha keyboard through the UR22.

2.a If yes then I'm sure the next two items are moot, but...

2.b If not

- are you sure (no offense) you have UR22 MIDI OUT connected to Digitech MIDI IN? Yes, I marked my MIDI cables to help me to not screw up which was IN or OUT.

- have you tired swapping the MIDI cable from UR22 to Digitech? Yes, I tried several different MIDI cables.

- Can you see the Digitech MIDI OUTPUT in Reaper (over the UR22 in port)? Supposedly the Digitech front panel sends certain key strokes e.g., "key" - over MIDI This I have not been able to do. I'm not sure quite how to do this.

- just trying to confirm UR22 is 100%


If you have verified CABLE, connections and have set internal Digitech channel to "N" (page 31 of manual) and Reaper output for a track to the same channel "N"

This is where I get confused, especially in Reaper or BIAB, but I think I can set the Digitech to "omni" to communicate on all channels at once... should I try that?

then … I'm stumped - I'll have to go have a scotch and ponder a while

(I'm ready for the next bottle of scotch!)

Hope something here helped

Larry

I haven't been able to try all of the things you've mentioned, like in Reaper or the Digitech channel assignments, but I will try to study up a bit more on those things and do some experimenting. I'm currently working 12 hour shifts and don't have much extra time to play...

If any of my answers to your questions bring anything to mind, please let me know. You've been very gracious to offer your help, and I appreciate it! Thanks again, Larry!
