Love music production? Join the Musio Beta Test Team, get free virtual instruments, and help shape the future of Musio!
What is the Musio Beta Team?
The Musio Beta Team is a group of passionate musicians, producers, and composers who get free access to Musio’s full library, and all newly released content, in exchange for testing and providing feedback.
Musio is a versatile virtual instrument platform developed by Cinesamples, designed to provide musicians, composers, producers and songwriters with a vast array of high-quality sounds within a single, user-friendly plugin. It includes over 2,000 meticulously crafted virtual instruments from more than 90 library collections, all recorded on renowned Hollywood soundstages by the same engineers and musicians behind some of the most iconic film scores of all time.
As a beta tester, you’ll get:
- Full access to all Musio instruments, including exclusive, unreleased content.
- A direct line to the Musio development team to report bugs and request features.
- The opportunity to shape Musio’s future by providing feedback via tickets, Google Forms, and discussions with developers.
What perks do beta testers receive?
- Free and instant access to over 90 sample library collections currently in Musio, including flagship collections like CinePerc, CineBrass, CineWinds, CineHarps, Piano In Blue, and VOXOS as well as Musio exclusive libraries.
- Early access to new libraries and content added monthly.
- Membership in an exclusive beta testing community with direct communication to other testers and the Musio development team.
- The satisfaction of helping build and improve Musio for all users.
