Step 1.1 Download the Virtual Instrument (VSTi)

• Where To Put Reaper Vst Plugin Files File

From this page download the BassMidi VSTi 1.2 zipfile.

Move the.vst file to the VST folder in your audio plugins folder. If your DAW is running, close it and restart it. When your DAW starts up, it will rescan your plugins folder and detect your recently installed plugin. Understanding the meaning of VST plugin Find yourself bored with the stock plugins on FLStudio? Or maybe you need a specific instrument or effect and are not sure where to start. This tutorial will.

Step 1.2 Unzip that file to your VST plugin directory

• If the sequencer loaded a wrong version of the VST plug-in before, ensure to either remove the wrong VST path from the sequencer or remove the older VST file (.Product Name.dll) from the directory the sequencer loaded it from. Note: If you use a 64-bit sequencer, the VST path should point to the location where the 64-bit VST version is installed.
• Put this file next to the plugin's DLL file. Here's an example configuration file for the 64-bit plugin. Please note that if you change the names of the knobs, you also need to map the new OSC addresses in Lightjams.

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 🙂
