I have some intruments on Music Maker 2014 and I want those instruments in the Music Maker 2013, or where can I find the instruments on the PC in order to import them manually one by one.

Because I already tryed adding the intrument from the synthetiser menu but didn't work, any suggestion my friends.

Thanks'

If you want to locate where are the VST plugins are in Music Maker go to

Program settings/Folder/VAdd ST Plugins path, you will know where plugins are. Usually they are hidden files but it depends on the operating system you are using.

When you find Music Maker folder having VST Plugins you can copy the required one and paste in to the other folder of your choice. Please note there are different files they all must be copied.

Adding instrument might not work you got to do manual work.

For further help provide your windows operating system details.

Hi,

All of my instruments are located here by default:

C:\Users\Public\Documents\MAGIX\Common\MxSynth

I also have all of my soundpools in:

C:\Users\Public\Documents\MAGIX\Common\Soundpools

Note that this is in Users\Public

Both 2013 and 2014 should find them there. As nihon94 indicated, add the path to the VST plugins in the Program Settings. Also add the path to the soundpools. You only need to indicate the upper folder as above, and Magix will look in all of the subfolders. Make sure that you do this in both 2013 and 2014 versions.

Note that this is covered in the manual and the on-screen help:

"Using VST instruments
VST instruments are loaded via the Media Pool. These appear in the area below the "Synthesizer" setting (synthesizer track).

If you have just freshly installed MAGIX Music Maker 2014 Premium, then you will not see any additional synthesizers here at first (other than those that were included). You will have to enter the folder first in which Music Maker should look for VST instruments. VST plug-ins may be installed in any folder on your hard drive.

Click "Add" (on the right edge of the Media Pool) and find the VST folder. If you use other programs with VST plug-ins or if you have already created a folder for your VST plug-ins, you can enter the folder here. You can add another extra folder at any time in case you you have installed additional plug-ins in another folder; plug-ins that have already been "identified" will always be located regardless of the path set. Pressing OK causes Music Maker to scan the folder for usable plug-ins that are available in the Media Pool."
