36. Run UAD Luna on Windows

On Windows, MIDI drivers are exclusive per application. UAD Luna consumes all available MIDI devices on start, prohibiting any other applications to use MIDI devices.

To overcome this problem we created a small utility to start Luna.

Download the application from here. The zip file is password protected and the password is 123456

Extract the zip on a folder on your computer.

Run as administrator the START.bat file.

It will open Luna and a cmd window which will later close automatically.

Load the MPH Single in Luna and click on the controller icon to open the controller window.

Initially, it will display the "Controller Not Connected" message. The message will disappear in about 10 seconds and the MP Controller will be available to use normally in all MP Host instances including Multi hosts.

The CMD window will close automatically after the controller window has opened.

Shortcut to run as administrator

Create a shortcut of the START.bat file. Then right click on the shortcut and choose Properties.

Then choose Advanced.

Check the box Run as Administrator so that it always runs with admin access when you double click on it.

Optionally, you can set the same icon as Luna on the shortcut by right clicking on the shortcut and select Choose Icon.

Then navigate to Luna's installation folder and choose the Luna Icon for your shortuct.

Luna crashes when opening the MP Host plugin

If you are using multiple monitors and your main display is connected on a different graphics interface than your main monitor, set the MP Controller as your main display in Windows, or connect the MP Controller onto the same graphics interface as your Windows main display.
