Downloading and using MuseSounds
Hi, several questions about MuseSounds and MuseHub. I'm on a Windows10 PC.
I've installed some months ago the latest release from MuseScore 4, but in the Playback setup, Muse Sounds is disabled and greyed out. When - in the Diagnostic menu - I query the CHeck Muse Sampler it tells "Muse Sampler library is not found".
I read that the way to get the Muse Sounds was via MuseHub.
MuseHub is not to be found.
I couldn't find how to activate MuseHub from MuseScore, I couldn't find how to download it separately (except for one beta version on the musehub.com).
So. How to move on to have the Muse Sounds available ? (Ideally not by reinstalling, because it will mess all my registry settings - MU3.6.2 is my main MU version and will remain it for now).
Concerned by the security and performance issues with MuseHub, if there is no way to have the MuseSounds without installing MuseHub, I will install MuseHub, install the MuseSounds and stop/deinstall MuseHub.
Can the MuseSounds works without MuseHub being running/installed ? Or must MuseHub keep running in the background ?
Thanks

Yes, you can only install Muse Sounds through the Hub. Once the sounds are installed, you don't need the hub, except to update. Security issues may be overblown. I have it installed and then scroll down to quit after I'm done. If you have a computer that meets the specs to run MU4, there shouldn't be any performance issues.

Thanks for your answer. But how to access or install the Hub knowing MU4 is already installed on my machine, and that I can't find it ?

On the download page, select the link to download MU4. That is for the Hub. Normally the Hub installs MU4. Notice there is a separate link to download MU4 with out the hub.
I just did this as the Hub stopped working for some reason.
