Setup

Requirements​

  • Reaper 7.x
  • Windows (tested on 10 x86_64), macOS 10.15 (x86_64, ARM64), Linux (x86_64)
  • Electra One mkII with firmware v3.6.1

Installation​

  1. Install the preset on your Electra One (E1).
  2. Download and extract the plugin for your operating system and platform.
  3. Move the plugin to $YourReaperUserDirectory/UserPlugins. To do that:
    • Linux: Move the .so file to ~/.config/REAPER/UserPlugins
    • macOS: Move the .dylib file to ~/Library/Application Support/REAPER/UserPlugins
    • Windows: Move the .dll file to %APPDATA%\REAPER\UserPlugins
    • Alternatively, open REAPER and use Options -> Show REAPER resource path in explorer/finder to open your file browser at REAPER's user directory
  4. (Optional) Move the example map files to $YourReaperUserDirectory/Data/KnobConnector/plugin_maps.
  5. Start Reaper.
  6. (Only for macOS): If REAPER fails to load the plugin due to security settings, run the following command in Terminal to remove the quarantine attribute: 
    xattr -d com.apple.quarantine ~/Library/Application\ Support/REAPER/UserPlugins/reaper_knobconnector.dylib
    Alternatively, if prompted, you can allow the plugin through System Settings > Security & Privacy and retry loading it in REAPER.
  7. Open the Preferences window, and go to Control/OSC/Web.
  8. Click on Add.
  9. In the Control Surface Mode dropdown, select KnobConnector.
  10. For MIDI Input and MIDI Output, select the first input and output port of the Electra One.
  11. Click OK.
  12. Focus on an instrument or effect plugin to start using KnobConnector.
