Luna operates primarily as a sampler. It relies on a library of pre-recorded audio files (samples) captured from physical instruments. The technical integrity of Luna depends on:
Our sample was small, Earth-bound (simulated gravity only), and all participants were professional listeners—perhaps hypersensitive to low-frequency modulation. Future work must be conducted on the lunar surface. We propose the Lunar Infrasonic Observatory (LIO) mission, where a VST host running Luna VST is installed in the upcoming Artemis basecamp, with continuous EEG monitoring over one full lunar cycle. luna vst
A critical turning point for LUNA’s adoption was its expanded support for third-party plugins. While it thrives on and UADx (native) plugins, it fully supports industry-standard formats: Luna operates primarily as a sampler
: Uses Accelerated Realtime Monitoring (ARM) when paired with Apollo interfaces, allowing you to track through UAD plugins with no discernible lag. Future work must be conducted on the lunar surface
: Automatically identifies track types using AI to assign appropriate icons, colors, and the best "warp" algorithm for timing adjustments.
: Compatible with major DAWs like FL Studio, Ableton Live, Logic Pro, and Cubase. ⚠️ Note : It is generally not compatible with Pro Tools.
Luna includes a dedicated effects section that allows users to sculpt the presets without needing external plugins:
