MuseSounds are unique playback expansion packs, designed for MuseScore Studio.

IMPORTANT: MuseSounds are built specifically for MuseScore Studio by an in-house team at MuseHub, in partnership with sample library developers. They are not compatible with DAWs, plugins or other playback technologies. You cannot load MuseSounds in other programs.

They can bring high levels of realism to your scores, and work from vast content databases of real recordings, which the MuseSounds engine (called the MuseSampler) stitches together to reproduce what your written score could sound like.

Unlike MIDI-based sample libraries, there is no complex setup to perform, mapping or key switching to worry about, and you don't need lots of RAM and hard drive space to use them. They're highly optimised for notation playback, and carefully curated to ensure they take up just a fraction of the space and memory that "traditional" sample libraries do.

There is no dedicated User Interface for MuseSounds - instead, your score tells the playback engine everything it needs to know!

You simply write the notation you want, assign your sound in MuseScore's mixer, and press play.

We have worked closely with our amazing Muse Partners to bring MuseSounds Editions of many of the most respected sample libraries in the industry. These MuseSounds Editions are a fraction of the cost of their DAW counterparts, and heavily optimised for playback from notation.

These Editions are entirely separate to the "full" DAW-based versions of the sample libraries, sold direct from our Partner websites. You cannot upgrade a MuseSounds Edition to the "full" VST sample library counterpart.

All billing, customer support, bug reports for MuseSounds should be directed to the MuseSounds team, using our support form at support.musehub.com, emailing [email protected]
