the problem doesnt concern me very much, because i'm a pulsar + luna user but a friend of mine is about to buy a luna and i'm searching for informations.
it seems to me that if you purchase a luna right now, you have SFP 3.1 but no mixer package, and no effects package (both 1 and 2).

(all mixer, effects,synth packages are optional!)
then, what can you do with a luna??? you can just routing signals (coming from OUTSIDE pulsar) and you have NO effects to use...
you can count only on free devices!
beside this, creamware is sponsoring his luna card with this page:
http://www.creamware.de/en/products/sfp ... lights.asp
on which they say you can use on-board DSP effects (pro-reverb MasterVerb, EQ, Compressor, Limiter, Gate, Chorus, Flanger, Phaser, Delay, Filters…)
i'm a bit confused about creamware policy...
where is the truth?
is Luna II becoming "obsolete"?
what do you get with a Luna, now?
