The Lujin connects to your computer and is great for adding automation to your tracks in a DAW (Digital Audio Workstation). You can use its faders, knobs, and buttons to control MIDI CC data, which gets recorded directly into your DAW.

This automation adds new expression, dynamics, and movement to your music, bringing your compositions to life.

The Lujin is a plug-and-play USB MIDI device. No software or drivers are needed for Windows or Mac, and no software is required to program settings or controller values. All presets and settings are stored on the device.

The Lujin is a plug-and-play for Windows, Mac, or even an iPad! Just connect it with the provided USB cable, and you’re all set.

It also has a 5-pin MIDI DIN socket, so you can connect and control hardware like synthesizers, sequencers, or drum machines.

The faders are 100mm long and feel smooth and light to use. They are well spaced making them easy to move individually or together.

The Lujin has lights beneath each of the three faders that can visually reflect the automation data recorded on your tracks. This is especially useful for seeing the dynamics of an instrument or VST at a glance.

To enable this, you need to route MIDI Out from your track back to the Lujin. Many DAWS like Ableton and Reaper support MIDI Out per track by default. Other DAWS Require workarounds.

The Lujin can store up to 16 custom preset banks, each with unique CC values and the MIDI channel is also stored per preset. For example:

​

• Bank 1: Configured for your DAW
