The Lujin is a plug-and-play USB MIDI device. No software or drivers are needed for Windows or Mac. Just connect it with the USB cable provided, and you're ready to go.

Basic Use

Right out of the box, the Lujin is ready to use. It comes with a default configuration (Preset Bank 1) with standard Control Change (CC) values, common for many VST and virtual instruments.
