MacOS | Windows
Lumatone Editor allows you to create and modify mapping files for Lumatone, and save them as presets on your instrument. This version is a public beta, so if you run into anything unexpected, please let us know!
What’s new in 1.2:
Global colour – adjust the brightness, hue and temperature of your whole layout at once.
Colour replace – swap one colour for another everywhere it appears in your layout.
Isomorphic mode – set your scale size and step directions, and assign colours to scale degrees to build an isomorphic layout.
Better colour preview – the Lumatone graphic now shows colours the way the LEDs really look.
Live feedback – keys light up in the preview as you play, with a live velocity meter and MIDI message readout.
MIDI inspector – a pop-out window with your MIDI history and detailed metering for aftertouch, pitch bend and mod wheel.
Plugin host – load your favourite softsynth and play it right in the app.
Layout titles and image export – name your layouts, and save them as PNG files to share.
We’ve also improved screen reader support, fixed an occasional crash when reconnecting your Lumatone, and stopped the app from overwriting your preset button light colours.
Linux users: Lumatone Editor 1.2 isn’t available for Linux yet. Please use Lumatone Editor 1.0.2 under Previous Versions below.
Latest Firmware
Firmware 1.4 is coming soon.
What’s new in 1.4:
No more frozen octave boards – fixes a bug in firmware 1.2 and 1.3 where some octave boards could freeze in rainbow mode while powering up.
Key diagnostic mode – see each key’s sensor (ADC) value as a colour, right on the keys. To turn it on, hold down both preset buttons on an octave board while powering up to enter calibration mode. Then hold down either preset button and press any key. Press both buttons to exit. It is completely normal for a key’s colour to oscillate from one colour to another; it just indicates the sensor is also oscillating between those ranges.
Rainbow mode – press preset button 1 ten times in a row to switch to rainbow mode from any preset. Press it ten more times to go back.
Calibration without Lumatone Editor – hold down both preset buttons on an octave board while powering up to go straight into calibration mode.
Latest Default Presets
Download our March 2025 Preset Defaults.
To add these presets to your Lumatone, load each preset into Lumatone editor, and hold down the desired preset button location for 3 seconds to save it. Our default presets include 10 presets that are numbered according to how we ship Lumatones, but feel free to mix and match as you like!
