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

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
- macOS 11 Big Sur or later.
- A Mac with Apple silicon or an Intel processor.
- A VST3 or Audio Unit host: Logic Pro, 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. Quit your music software.
2. Double-click Midnight LCR Lab-1.0.0-macOS.pkg. The installer is signed and notarized by
   Apple.
3. Follow the installer: accept the licence agreement, then confirm with the password of
   an administrator of this Mac.
4. Restart your music software. If it does not find Midnight LCR Lab, ask it to rescan its
   plug-ins; in Logic Pro, the Audio Unit is validated automatically at first launch.
   Midnight LCR Lab appears under the vendor "Delta Sigma".

The installer copies the plug-in in VST3 and Audio Unit formats:
  /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3/Midnight LCR Lab.vst3
  /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components/Midnight LCR Lab.component


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.


ACTIVATING YOUR LICENSE
Your license was sent to you by email after your order; you can also find it in your

from the ☰ menu at the top right, by clicking the logo at the top left, or the trial badge
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
user account on this Mac.


PRIVACY
Midnight LCR Lab never connects to the internet and never sends any data outside your Mac.
Your license and your settings stay on your Mac. Your projects and technical documentation
are saved wherever you choose to place them.
