> Step by step

1. Getting started with MSoundFactory Player

1

First you need to download Melda’s software management app, called MAudio Plugins, from their website. Go to MeldaProduction.com and navigate to the top right Downloads tab and click it.

2

The page above will open giving you the option of downloading MAudio Plugins for Mac or PC. Choose your platform and download it – it’s reasonably big, a couple of hundred MB.

3

Now you get the chance to select the Melda plugins you wish to download. We need MSoundFactory to run our free CM Pluck instrument, but while you’re here why not download the entire Melda MFreeFX bundle. See we’re actually giving you 40 free plugins this issue, not just one (OK Melda are, not us…)

4

Once downloaded, they will install correctly and automatically so you just open up your DAW and it should scan – as Logic is doing above – your 40 free new plugins.

5

So far only MSoundFactory should be visible within your plugins list, as shown above, so navigate to it and load it up as you would any other plugin.

6

Now open it like you would any other instrument. It will appear with tags for all the sounds and instruments within it and some demo plugins (both left). Now to load in yet more free content! Navigate to the top right and click the red ‘Install Factory Data’ tab.

7

Now choose the essential Essentials (top two options) and you might as well go for the MonasteryPiano too. There are other sample options and more free stuff but we’ve just gone for these for now.

8

Now to load in CM Pluck. You’ll need to head over to FileSilo as you would normally to download our content. Create an account if you haven’t already and the CM Pluck instrument will be located under the CM Plugins folder. Download it.
