Reset MIDI Mapping
To clear MIDI mapping, first press the Control Input button and turn off Control Input mode. The
Control LED should be dark. Then, press and hold the Control Input button until the Control LED
blinks. This clears all Expression, Hot Hand, and MIDI mapping.
MIDI Channel
By default, the Lunar responds to MIDI Channel 1. The Lunar ignores all MIDI messages sent to it that
are not on its assigned channel, with the exception of MIDI clock messages. To change the Lunar’s
MIDI channel, edit the Lunar’s global settings using the USB editor software or the Neuro App.
MIDI Clock
The Lunar syncs to MIDI clock (also known as MIDI timing clock or MIDI beat clock). MIDI clock is
tempo-dependent and is used to ensure that multiple MIDI-enabled devices stay in synchronization.
A common use of MIDI clock with the Lunar is when recording along to a click track in a DAW (Digital
Audio Workstation) running on a computer. MIDI clock can be sent to the Lunar directly over USB-
MIDI or via the Control Port from the Neuro Hub.
The Lunar begins to sync its LFO to the MIDI Clock as soon as the first MIDI Clock message is received.
If the tempo changes, the rate of MIDI Clock messages will change as well, and the Lunar will adjust
to resynchronize itself accordingly. The Lunar doesn’t require any special configuration to use MIDI
Clock; just start sending it MIDI Clock messages and it will synchronize itself automatically.
By default, the LFO starts synchronized with the first MIDI Clock message received. If you wish to
offset the LFO start time, for example by an eighth note, simply start playback in your DAW an eighth
note earlier or later than the beginning of the measure.
After the Lunar receives its first MIDI clock message, the function of the Speed Knob changes. Instead
of controlling the speed of the LFO directly, it controls the number of subdivisions are in the LFO,
using the MIDI clock as a basis for the tempo. One, two, three, or four subdivisions can be created.
Musically speaking, this means that the LFO can run at the rate of quarter notes, eighth notes,
triplets, or sixteenth notes. The following diagram shows the knob positions corresponding to each
subdivision, with the knob currently set to quarter notes:
The number of subdivisions can also be modified via MIDI using the Speed parameter. If you have
mapped a MIDI CC message to the Speed parameter, you can choose the number of subdivisions
using the following table:
Quarter Notes
Eighth Notes
Triplets
3
Sixteenth Notes
