The Lemur User Manual

1.2.5. Targets
The networkability of the Lemur endows it with the unique capacity to
control simultaneously several applications running on the same computer, and
even to control several pieces of software launched on different computers. Each
application or device controlled by the Lemur is called a Target.
Each of Object’s Variables can be mapped to any of the eight available
MIDI Targets and to any of the eight OSC Targets.
A MIDI Target is a pair of MIDI In- and Outputs and an OSC Target is
characterized by its IP address and its port number. This means a Target can be
software on a networked computer or a piece of MIDI kit you have sitting in your
rack. No matter how complex your setup may be, you can control everything from a
single Interface on your Lemur by individually assigning the different Variables to
different Targets.

The daily life with your Lemur
1.3.1. Cuddling your Lemur
The Lemur loves to be touched. After all, it is its main purpose in life. But
as it’s the case with all primates, the nature of the touch will affect the outcome.
The multitouch technology used in the Lemur combines high resolution
with high sensitivity. You don’t have to use excessive force to control the objects on
your interfaces. Extremely light touch, on the other hand, won’t work either. Just
practice a bit with your Lemur and you will quickly find the right balance that
combines precision with tactile feedback.
The best technique is using the fingertips and not the flat underside.
It leads to a maximum of precision and ensures good agility for the various multi-
finger gestures you will develop when working with the Lemur.
1.3.2. Living with your Lemur
There are a few elementary rules that need respecting carefully if one
want to have a pleasant and durable life with one’s Lemur.
1.3.2.1.
Walking your Lemur
When transporting the Lemur, please ensure it is properly packed
to protect it from shock and damage. A good idea is using a sturdy laptop case (15”
or 17” should fit). Place an additional protective layer over the display.
There are two types of power cables enclosed with your Lemur. One is of
the European type and one works in the USA. If you take your Lemur abroad to
other countries, please make sure you get the appropriate power cable for the
respective country.

Your Lemur’s Hygiene
The Lemur is a sturdy creature. If you follow some basic guidelines
concerning care and feeding it will be your companion for years and years to come.
For everyday cleaning wipe the unit with a soft, dry cloth or one that has
been slightly dampened with water. To remove stubborn dirt, use a cloth with a
