How to Import Custom Instruments to Mixcraft
Acoustica's Mixcraft digital audio production software contains hundreds of built-in instrument presets; it also allows you to create custom instruments using the program's synthesizers. Custom Mixcraft instruments are transferable, meaning that an instrument created in one copy of the software can open in another copy of the program. If someone has sent you a custom Mixcraft instrument you want to use in your audio productions, move the instrument file into the correct directory, then import it into Mixcraft.

If the custom instrument uses a third-party VST synthesizer, you must have the same synthesizer installed on your system.
