Hi,

I have the Key 61, love it but due to size it stays on its stand in the studio (box room). I have just bought the key 37 as I can use it wherever I want in the house and it's great for impromptu ideas, sketch pad etc.

The Key 61 came with additional plugins (Fabric, Fabric XL, OPX-4, Stage Piano etc). Can I use those on my Key 37 and if so how?

I have got my free plugin installed on the Key 37 (I chose Jura).

Both devices are registered to my same InMusic account. After installing Jura on Key 37 I sparked up Key 61, went to Activate Plugins and Jura was there for installation, all good.

Why can't the 37 see the Fabric, XL, OPX-4, Stage Piano plugins which are sat on the Key 61?

I want whatever I do on one machine to be a USB away from being used on the other device, work to be interchangeable.

I understand each plugin can be on 3 devices.

Can someone help me out? DSoundman on YT shows his 37 with these Key 61 plugins and says Key 61 plugins can go on the 37 via this 3 device rule.

I have searched these forums but couldn't find the "how" to do this.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Cheers

Don’t say “key61 plugins” ‘cause they are all “mpc plugins” and not machine specific.

Yes, 3 devices as you said, all 3 devices need to be registered to the exact same account.

If not working you can try:
reset preferences
Redownload via inmusic content app.

I have Key61 and X. Both registered to the same account. I’ve had no problems w/ content app, downloading to external hdd and using all paid plugins on either machine.
