You have to be careful though and make sure the track only contains data from the instrument you want.
The reason this happens is because it is possible to 'force' MIDI data to play on a given channel in RB even though the raw data may be on multiple channels.
The image below shows how that can happen. I am forcing this track to MIDI channel 4. By selecting zero (0) it leaves the data unchanged during playback.



yea, I see that one too.. problem is, it doesn't affect it when it gets exported.. It will still be a multi channel track just as when it was created. That only tells RB how to handle it. What has to happen is, in Reaper, the four tracks need to be merged back into one, aka, a bounce. There is a handy little JS plugin that will work for this too. I'd have to look for it, before I could explain it..

*EDIT*

All you do is import the RB track into reaper as multi track (if has any multi track information). Reaper will create the necessary tracks. Create a new track and route all the imported tracks to this track. In the routing on the receive track, receive ALL MIDI and set the "arrow" pointer to what ever channel you want the incoming midi to go to, i.e., channel 1. (example: incoming midi might be on channel 14 now going to Midi channel 1)

right click record arm button and set to record MIDI "all MIDI". Set record output to ALL MIDI. Hit the record button and it will record the new track with all the midi tracks merged into one track. You could, as I did to verify it was working, put a virtual instrument on the track and the matching channel you want it to go too. However, you would still see midi data in the meters anyway.. just remember to mute the original tracks on playback..

*last edit*

OK, now, it is solved.. this should also work in any DAW, so long as you understand how to route the signal chain..

cheers
