Missing MuseSounds Instruments

• Jan 10, 2023 - 01:33

So I am very impressed with MuseScore 4 and MuseSounds, and I completely understand that there are a few bugs and a few things that MS3 had that aren’t yet in MS4. With that being said, does anyone know if there will eventually be a few more instruments added? I think MuseSounds right now is only intended to be for an orchestra and not as much for a jazz band or a concert band. So you have some common-ish instruments missing like a drum kit or trap set, and same with euphoniums and the more obscure woodwinds you’ll probably only see in concert band instrumentations, like contrabass clarinet. I realize there are a few workarounds for now (e.g. using the tuba sound for euphoniums and using the regular bass clarinet sound for contra clarinets), but the problem with those is that it seems as though MuseSounds only has the instrument pitches go up or down to a certain register/octave (meaning for example the euphonium will work with the tuba sound, but when the pitches intended for a euphonium get too high for a tuba, the pitch won’t play unlike in MS3, and vice versa with the low clarinets). Anyone happen to know if this will eventually be worked out so people can write with more obscure instruments in the future?

No. Maybe. Who knows. If by "MuseSounds people" you mean those who know what's coming or have influence on the future, I'd wager they are bound to keep such info restricted. I for one am not going to pester the MuseSounds people until, say, mid-2023, if MuseSounds don't show any new instruments added.
