Change instrument option isn't working

Post by ischand »

When I click the "change instrument" icon it changes color without opening the selection box. Additionally, when I choose "change instrument" from the pull down menu the same thing happens.

It started happening after I upgraded to Mixcraft 9 Pro Studio, but I'm not sure if that's the problem, cause it worked for a little while. I also did the update so I'm running the latest version.

Any help is appreciated.

hi,

If you Right click and there is no instrument already set, then nothing will happen. If you left click it should open the selection window. I just want to be sure you are left clicking vs right clicking.

I did both, of course out of desperation many times. In preferences I also tried to change the default instrument to see if that was the issue. I think I'm just gonna try reinstalling just in case the latest update didn't work correctly.

Thanks.

Hello friends, still having trouble with the change instrument feature after reinstalling Mixcraft Pro 9.0 build 469.

I am having this same problem.

I had installed Mixcraft pro studio 9 on my new laptop, but since I have not been able to select any virtual instrument. It’s been 3 days now, and not had any solution from Acoustica support.

It’s annoying as this effectively makes Mixcraft useless for someone who uses mostly virtual instruments.

Hi all.

Has there been any fixes for this issue yet? I’ve tried contacting support via email but I’m not getting any reply.

Hi,

Do you have the Zenbook Pro Duo computer?

Hi,

It seems to be a problem with the Zenbook Pro Duo. We don't have a fix for this issue at this time.

Can you disable that second little screen so that everything shows up on the main screen?
