Does Reaper have a virtual instrument rack?

[Art Evans]

Anyway, to create a track for vst, use "Insert new track" in the "Track" menu.

That's the old way - now there's "Insert virtual instrument on new track" though of course in the context of the question, you'd only do that for the first instrument and add the rest to the that same track, as the OP has now discovered.

Routing is one of the things Reaper handles really well. I think Reaper's routing capabilities should be able to achieve pretty much whatever effect chains you want (albeit with VST handling the keyboard splits), though it seems that you might have to use multiple tracks.... and so, if you want to re-use such a chain, you'd have to save the project template.

The cool thing in Reaper is that you can actually save as many track with as many plugins inserted as you want as a template! And it even saves the routing of these tracks. Like you want to save two tracks with one being e.g. a delay or reverb return with a send from the other track. Extremely cool.

Just to clarify what shogger has said above... to do this in REAPER all you need to do is select all of the tracks you want to include in your track template and then right clik and save as a track template.
Nect time you load that track template all the selected tracks you had before will be reloaded where you insert them.

This is good for multi-out VSTi's or set fx like 2 tracks with your favourite long and short reverb on them etc.

I still have no clue whatsoever on how these things work.

This is NOT meant to attack the user, but again, I seriously have no idea on how the internet works at times like this.

Time jumps. We don’t talk about it.
