No instruments shown

[Stuart Banks]

Hi all,

Newbie here (and not very technically minded).

Now I’m sure this problem has been posted MANY times before but I have a PC running Windows 10 and I have installed Bandlab and the associated Cakewalk program. I originally downloaded the program to record my Casio CTK 3500 which I have connected to my PC as per a YouTube video by Jeremy See. 
However, on his video when he starts a new project and right clicks in the lhs pane, a whole array of instruments drops down. 
On mine I just get ‘default (TTS-1)’ (I shall try to attach a picture [don’t ask for a screenshot as I am no computer whizzkid]). 
 

As I said previously, this has probably been asked many times before but if anybody can help it would be most appreciated.

For a start, install the Studio Instruments - bass, drums, piano, strings. You do that through the Bandlab Assistant.

Then you download free instruments, you buy instruments. Here is a video about some good free instruments.

And this is a thread about free instruments. It is part of this forum.

And VST4Free is a site dedicated to free instruments.

Here is a video teaching you how to install instruments (and FX.)
