1. Click on + in the bottom of your Channel Rack
2. Select More plugins... and double-click on Klimper Main

If you want to preview your chords through your favourite instruments directly, an extra setup step is needed to route the midi notes accordingly.

1. Click on the cog icon in the top left corner of Klimper's plugin window and open the settings screen (second icon from the left)
2. Select a MIDI Output port (and memorise it)
3. Add your desired synth plugin to the Channel Rack
4. Click on it's cog icon in the top left corner and open the settings screen
5. Set the MIDI Input port to the number you select as Klimper's output in step 2.

Method 2: Works for FL's built-in Synths as well

Note: If you have Klimper Main already in the Channel Rack, remove it now.
