Where can I find mugentPlayer after installation – there is no icon on the desktop?
mugentPlayer is an audio plugin. This means it requires an audio HOST software to run in.
In the HOST software of your choice, you will find the mugentPlayer in it as a “virtual instrument”.
On PC mugentPlayer also requires the installation of Microsoft Edge WebView2 for showing web content within the plugin and this is installed automatically if not interrupted by the user – Edge Webbrowser will not be installed during this installation.

There you proceed with checkout, enter your personal data, accept the terms and conditions and pay via credit card or Paypal.

Can I use the sounds of mugent.com for my production?
All midi or audio files on the mugent.com webpage are free of copyright and may be used for music productions of any kind. Both, paid and free files can be used for promotional productions, iTunes, Spotify as well as commercial releases. The only thing that is not allowed is reselling of the samples, giving them away as a present or offering the files online.
What could be the reason if dragging & dropping of MIDI data does not work?
Before you can Drag & Drop MIDI data into your HOST arrangement the used Instrument/Kit must be completely downloaded onto your system.
Depending on the internet connection and the size of the kit, downloading a kit can take around a minute or more and D&D of MIDI data will potentially not work yet.
As long as the download is not completed the insert “Downloading kit…” is visible in the middle status bar.
After downloading Drag & Drop the entire Kit MIDI data or any single Instrument’s MIDI data as usual.
