Ahhhhhh.....this is a most often asked question that finally Magix is addressing.....prior to MX, each Magix pprogram was a stand alone program. You got what it had in it and not what yuo had in prior versions.....there was some overlap, but not 100 %...and of corse, what you needed was never one of the carry over programs. Magix support did say thata it might be possible to download feataures from oone to the other but they never said which ones and the DID say thaat if you tried, good luck, they weren't supporting your effortss. You were on your own. They have ffinally chanaged that stance and starting with MX you can g forward into MM2014 wit MX features, but you cannot go back. Ask the forum if someone had done what you want sucessfully....I have tried a few times and except for soundpool Xfers, alll I got was grief, Good luck
Before you start:(You can do copy paste or drag and drop as you prefer) for the method which I have described below.
It seems I got to make a tutorial for this but may be later. Any way please do as follows:
Open your Music Maker from where you want your older synth. Open Program settings (click Y key to open). Click on Folder tab. Now locate the folder showing path where your synths are saved. The synth folder might be hidden if you can not locate click on TOOLS/FOLDER OPTIONS/VIEW OR DISPLAY(my system is in Japanese may be English is correct)scroll down locate DISPLAY FILE AND FOLDER click next put check mark or click radio button of DISPLAY ALL FILE AND FOLDERS.
Now you can view all hidden files. YOU MUST HIDE FILES WHEN YOU ARE DONE!
After finding Magix Synth folder open it locate Beat Box2 folder, Beatbox2.ini, Beatbox2.syn
Copy the entire BeatBox2 folder, then copy Beatbox2.ini and Beatbox2.syn one by one and and save some where you can find.
Now open the Icons folder which is inside Syth folder and copy the image example BeatBox2.jpg. Again copy and save it.
It is very important that you must put all copied items accordingly in the Synth folder of a Music Maker 2014 (new one).
Example when you will open Synth folder of Music Maker 2014 there may be BeatBox if it is not BeatBox2 then you can paste the BeatBox2 in to the Synth folder, again copy and paste Beatbox2.ini, Beatbox2.syn and then paste the BeatBox2.jpg. image inside the Icons folder.

You have to check the Program settings tabs for VST plugin path in Music Maker not hidden files. If you could not get VST plugin path then you should use un hide feature of windows OK?
It is not Music Maker 15 but Windows which hide or un hide files. Please tell which windows version are you using so could guide properly.
