﻿Midnight LCR Lab 1.0 - Installing on Windows
============================================

Midnight LCR Lab by Delta Sigma: a laboratory for passive equalisation networks, to hear,
measure and modify an LCR equaliser in real time, component by component, and produce its
technical documentation.


SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
- Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit.
- A VST3 host: Cubase, Nuendo, Reaper, Studio One, Ableton Live, Bitwig Studio, and most
  others. Pro Tools is not supported.
- A mono or stereo track or bus.


INSTALLATION
1. First extract this archive: right-click the .zip file, then "Extract All".
2. Quit your music software.
3. Copy the Midnight LCR Lab.vst3 folder, whole and without opening it, to:
       C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3\
   Windows asks for administrator permission: accept.
4. Restart your music software. If it does not find Midnight LCR Lab, ask it to rescan its
   VST3 plug-ins. Midnight LCR Lab appears under the vendor "Delta Sigma".


LANGUAGE
The interface opens in French. To switch it to English: open the ☰ menu at the top right,
choose "Preferences…" ("Préférences…"), then under "Language" ("Langue") choose English.


GETTING STARTED
Insert Midnight LCR Lab on a track or a bus. It opens on the Midnight LCR kit network, with
its gain compensated: turn its knobs and switches, and watch the response curve follow. In
the SCHEMATIC view, click a component to change its value: you hear it at once. The
schematic menu, at the top left, also offers six building blocks, and the ☰ menu, at the
top right, the "Technical documentation…" command.


LICENSE AND TRIAL PERIOD
The license is sold at studiodeltasigma.com. Education licenses, for students, and site
licenses, for the computers of a school, are offered to institutions under contract: write
to info@studiodeltasigma.com. Without a license, Midnight LCR Lab is fully functional for
14 days, starting from the first time its window is opened. When the trial ends, the sound
passes through unprocessed until a license is activated.

at the bottom. Paste your key with the "Paste" button ("Coller"), then click "Activate"
("Activer"); or drop the .licence file onto the key field. The license is stored for your
Windows user account.

computer. Your license and your settings stay on your computer. Your projects and technical
documentation are saved wherever you choose to place them.
