Instruments not in Library must download?

I noticed that in the Library some of the instruments have a circle with a downward arrow next to it. I understand that this means I can download those instruments from, I assume, the app store.

My question is, why were these instruments not installed when I did the initial install?

Thanks for the clarification David.

So if I want to download those settings will the server know which settings or collections I am missing or do I have to figure that out and select those for download?

I ask because my studio system is not connected to the internet at this time so I can't check for myself.

Yes. If you click one of those patches, then Logic will download only that setting from the server. 

Hi,

I too am seeing this since upgrading to 10.5, but in some cases it is for patches I had previously used in projects prior to 10.5. Those existing projects still play the patch OK but i cannot select that patch for any new project from the Library button. Nor can i remove the patch or download the settings from the server.

One example is the Celesta, which presumably was a patch created from EXS24. Since this has now been replaced with the Sampler instrument, could the greyed out Celesta patch be due to the removal of EXS24 instrument? I’ve spotted that the Celesta is under the GarageBand collection in Sampler and i can select it from there, but not via the Library button as I could previously. I’d like to clean up / remove all those download arrows if possible.

Cheers.

To clear them all up, you could use the Sound Library Manager and install everything in one go.

Or you could hide those via the contextual menu (right/or/control click) in the Library area, and deselect the Show Available Downloads option.

I have some "missing patches" showing up in LP 10.5.1 too e.g. Bass: Subby Bass

I did a search and the patch is present in Logic pro's content package, but for some reason it's not showing up in Logic
