Is there a way to download all of the instruments in a library collection at once?
Yes! Click the Download All button in the top right corner of the library collection. This button looks like a large red downward arrow, as shown in this screenshot:
How can I download all of Musio at once?
Currently, there are over 2,000 instruments in Musio, so there isn’t a one-click option to download the entire catalog. Instruments must be downloaded individually or by using the Download All button for specific library collections.
Where can I see all of my downloaded Instruments?
To view your downloaded instruments:
- Open Musio Connect (Musio’s companion app).
- Click on the Instruments tab.
Here, you’ll see a full list of downloaded instruments along with details like Version, Collection, Size, and Status. Selecting an individual instrument will show additional details on the right-hand side, such as the Release Date.
Can I change the number of simultaneous instrument downloads?
No, Musio limits simultaneous instrument downloads to 3 at a time. When you click the Download All button, all instruments will be added to a queue, but only three will download at once. There is no current option to reduce or increase this number.
Is there a way in a library collection to only see which instrument patches I've downloaded?
Yes! While browsing a library collection in Musio, click the Show Downloaded Only button (the gray check mark symbol) in the top right corner. This will filter the collection to display only the instruments you’ve already downloaded.
Note: If you use this filter but still see red download arrows (indicating instruments that appear not downloaded), it means you previously downloaded an older version of that instrument. Since then, a new version has been released. To remove the red download arrow, click the version number on the instrument patch and load the latest version.
