How To Re-Download Instruments?

MarcosB wrote on 4/16/2019, 6:47 AM

I found myself in the situation where my instruments were not working correctly in Music Maker Pro. They all complained about not being activated, it might have been after this weekend's upgrade, it does not matter.

In my haste/frustration to remedy the situation, I deleted their files/folders from C:\Users\Public\Documents\MAGIX\Common\MxSynth, I actually emptied out the folder, thinking that Music Maker Pro would allow me to re-download them from the store.

Well no, the store thinks that I have them already and there is no way to force them to re-download or make the program see that they are absent.

I've already uninstalled and reinstalled the program thrice. Any help would be appreciated it.

John EB. I've done that but no change. However, in the store there is no longer a price with the guitar picture, only a white triangle. But I have clicked on "Options" at the top right of the Magix screen. Scrolled to MxSynth in my computer. Selected Power Guitar folder and the circular icon for "Loops Unlimited" then flies up and disappears into the "Loops" tab. But still the power guitar is still not listed under "Instruments".

@Bloodnok This icon. Try a left click on it.

Thanks John EB. I tried that but no luck. Question: If I now buy the Premium edition, can I move the instruments that I bought in the Free version into it ?

SP.. I clicked on that icon and the power guitar appeared as the instrument for track 1. But when I select a guitar from the pool and drag it into track 1 to play it, I do not get the power sound. I've tried highlighting the SOLO key and the others but nothing happens. Thanks. Nearly there !

Hi,

I'm not sure what you are doing. Instruments are meant to be played using a keyboard to create a MIDI object, not for dragging in a Soundpool Loop unless it happens to be a MIDI file. The right side of the screen is called the Media Pool and it contains tabs at the top. The first is Loops. There is no just "pool."

So, what, exactly, are you dragging in and from where (which tab)?

Can you also post a screen shot?
