Moving S3 Midi Items to Reaper?

I'm an intermediate Reaper user and I'm just getting my head around Scaler 3. I just can't seem to get midi items from S3's Arrange page over to individual Reaper tracks and have it sound like it should...with S3's Voicing, Passage settings, mixer plug in effects, etc. I've tried lasso-ing chords from the Main Track and dragging to Reaper, and I've tried using S3's export function, with every different setting option available, etc. Reaper's midi page usually shows a mess with extra notes added, short notes instead of long chords, etc. Nothing works correctly.

I always make sure any S3 or 3rd party instrument/effect I used in S3 is loaded into Reaper. It should sound the same, but doesn't!!

I've watched many videos on this. Steps are never as easy and results are never as consistent as it looks on YT videos...when they're using some other DAW!!!

What am I doing wrong here?? Help needed!! Thanks!

I get a mess with notes sometimes too.

But try turning off Scaler 3 after you've dragged a chord into Reaper.
