I don't care for Arturia's bait & switch marketing. On the flip side, I listened to the demos and they don't sound all that interesting to my ears, so not sure I'll get them, even for 19,99. When I saw the post you replied too I also thought that maybe they became free. Those installs do actually install the sound packs (they're in their own folders, next to the Factory presets), but unless they are activated in Arturia's Software Center, they're not available, and you can't load them individually, either. If you wish, you can log into your account on the website to see what products you have registered, contact support, etc. There should never a need to run an install.exe for an Arturia product, unless ASC is busted, and that's the only plan B. If you own a bank, then in the Presets browser you can filter by bank, and select the bank that you want displayed in the browser. But Spectrum is FREE if you buy Pigments, so I wouldn't waste any more time trying to figure that out if it's not working in the demo. The rest remain locked until you buy the bank, so there is no way to fully audition any add-on bank. If it's just a demo version, only certain presets will be unlocked and available for you to try. The Bank and presets will then be shown in the store view, where you can audition some, or add to cart, etc.

You can download any bank by clicking on it, and it will automatically install.

Use the 'Store' section from within the instrument to browse available sound banks. Assuming you have probably already done that, go to the next step. Use the Arturia Software Center to install instruments you own, or any that you would like to demo. Can someone please tell me how the whole sound pack thing works? Maybe it doesn't work with demo?Īlso, I was surprised it didn't get installed thru the Arturia Software Center App. When I go into Pigments, the regular patches are there but I can't seem to locate the extra Amethyst patches. It shows installed in Win10 Programs and Features. I downloaded one of the five of them - Amethyst. I wanted to audition the Spectrum Sound Pack.
