@Fhatuwani-Netshifhefhe Samplitude Pro has the older Beatbox 2 and additionally Loop Designer and Robota. Beatbox 2 has a lot more features compared to Beatbox Pro from Music Maker.

You first need to install it via the Download instruments & Soundpools option in the Help menu, enable the Object synthesizers checkbox. After it was downloaded and installed you can add it via Object > Edit MIDI Data > New Synth Object to your track.

@SP. I got those installed but both of those options are unfortunately extremely buggy each time I use them especially Robota and Beatbox 2 Plus they always crash after a little usage. I also cannot see an option to route individual instrument in the kit to a channel for mixing purposes. For instance a kick or snare in BeatBox 2 Plus cannot be mixed individually.

@Fhatuwani-Netshifhefhe In regard to performance problems I asked you a question about the audio interface you use in your other topic.

For individual mixing you need to add multiple beatboxes on different tracks (one for kicks, one for snare and so on).

This object synthesizer plugin format is very old and limited and was used by Magix before VST instrument plugins became common. So there is no option to route the outputs to different tracks.

@SP. responded on the audio interface question, do you know then if Beatbox pro will be in X9 or if there will be any improvements on it?

@Fhatuwani-Netshifhefhe It's a legacy instrument so there will not be any improvements. It's likely it will be removed at some point in the future. But I don't know when. In the past it was also included in Music Maker and Samplitude Music Studio. In both apps it was removed some years ago. Now it only remains in Samplitude Pro.
