LUNA Setup
Follow these steps to configure LUNA to use a MCU control surface:
- Open the LUNA Sidebar by clicking the UA diamond logo in the upper left corner of the screen. Click Settings (or choose LUNA > Preferences from the app menu).
- Click CONTROLLERS.
- In one of the MIDI Control Surface rows, click under Input Device and select a connected MCU Control Surface from the drop menu.
- In the same MIDI Control Surface row, click under Output Device and select the same MCU Control Surface.
- Select the box in the On column to enable the controller.
- For most single fader controllers, the Focus Module box is automatically selected. If you do not want to use the controller to follow the focused track, or to control a bus when the bus is spilled, deselect this box. Click here for complete information about these settings.
MCU Extender Unit Setup
If the surface is an extender module (for example, a Behringer X-Touch Extender or an additional SSL UF8 used as an extender), click the Extender box.
