The Lunar does not sync to MIDI timecode containing SMPTE timestamps.
USB
The Lunar’s USB port is plug-and-play ready for Windows and Mac computers. The Lunar uses class-
compliant drivers, so no special drivers are needed. Just power up the Lunar and connect it to the
computer using a USB cable. The computer should automatically recognize the Lunar, which will be
identified as “Source Audio One Series” in the operating system.
USB connectivity brings many benefits, such as the ability to download firmware updates to the
Lunar, configuration of advanced parameters, accessing new effect types created by the Source
Audio engineers, and MIDI connectivity to audio production software running on the computer.
USB Editor Software
For advanced tweaking of the Lunar’s audio processing algorithms, the One Series USB Editor
software is available for free download from the Source Audio website. It allows for editing of the
Lunar’s signal processing parameters on such a deep level that entirely new and original effects can
be created. For more information, refer to the One Series USB Editor documentation on the Source
Audio website.
USB-MIDI
The Lunar will appear as a MIDI device in your computer’s operating system. As a result, the Lunar
can communicate with audio production software that utilizes MIDI, such as Pro Tools, Ableton Live,
Logic Pro, and more. MIDI messages can be sent directly to the Lunar using the USB connection,
which allows for full automation of the Lunar within host software such as a DAW. For example, the
depth or speed of the LFO can be automated by outputting MIDI continuous controller messages
from the host software to the Lunar via the USB connection.
External Tap Tempo
The Lunar supports an external tap tempo switch that can be connected to its Control Input port. Tap
tempo can be used to directly input a tempo and override the speed knob. Tap tempo is disabled by
default; it can be enabled in the hardware options menu in the Neuro App or USB Editor Software.
When External Tap Tempo mode is active, the Speed knob acts to set the beat subdivisions, just as it
does when
MIDI Clock
is enabled.
Source Audio makes tap tempo switches that are compatible with the Lunar. These switches can be
purchased on the store on Source Audio’s website.
The plug going to the tap tempo footswitch must be TRRS and have the signal connections as shown
in the following figure.
