Using Chaos Line with Reaper

Chaos Line is a MIDI sequencer plugin. It runs as a MIDI effect in audio apps. This means the setup is a bit different to normal audio effects plugins.

1. Add a Chaos Line to a track #

Chaos Line can be added to a track by opening the FX window, searching for “Chaos Line”, selecting it in the list, then clicking Add.

2. Add an instrument to the track #

Chaos Line processes MIDI events, and doesn’t make any sound itself. An instrument will need to be added after Chaos Line to hear the something. To do this, click the Add button in the FX window, search or browse for an instrument, click it’s name, then click Add.

You’re all ready to go!

Dragging dials #

The behaviour when dragging the dials in Chaos Line and other VST plugins can be changed via Preferences › Plug-ins › VST › Knob mode. Linear will increase and decrease as the cursor is dragged up and down respectively. Default points the dial towards the mouse cursor. Please note that you’ll need to click Apply or close the preferences window for the change to take effect.
