Hi. Loving PB4 so far. I use Reaper, and have run into an issue with the MIDI drag & drop - all tracks. I can drop in a midi ‘block,’ but when I hit play in Reaper I hear the Playbeat ‘beat’ even if the play head is not over the MIDI I dropped in. PB4 is added to the track as a VST; I’m not running it standalone. Any help would be appreciated! ---

Hi @itaylor926 Are you trying to import MIDI into Playbeat, or trigger the patterns in your DAW? Please check the triggering options in the video below: [![](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/audiomodern/original/2X/2/2c759ea035223faa408e7426c4d19accba4b0f62.jpeg "PLAYBEAT 4 by Audiomodern | Trigger Modes") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqVjMWEV2pY) ---

Hello. I’m trying to bring a beat made in Playbeat into my DAW. I do the drag and drop midi all tracks out of Playbeat. ---

Maybe you are still hearing playbeat that is synced with a DAW? ---

Possibly, but how do I stop it? I close the window that playbeat was open in and I still hear it in the DAW. Thanks for the help! ---

You need to uncheck the sync button or change the play mode to keyboard ---
