The next step is getting one of our instruments to use with the MNDALA 2 engine. Follow the next set of instructions to get started.
Instruments
After purchasing an instrument through MNTRA, log in to your MNTRA account inside MNDALA 2 and your instruments will be ready to install from the Library tab.
To use MNDALA 2 you will first have to buy one of our instruments (or download one of our free instruments!)
Instrument licenses can be acquired either through our website, or one of our distributors (ie. Plugin Boutique)
After purchasing a license for one of our instruments, it will be ready to install from the Library tab in MNDALA 2. (You may have to press the Refresh button)
If you purchased an instrument through one of our distributors, you simply have to press the Add From Serial button on the Library page and enter your license key. This will sync the product with your MNTRA Account.
Once your license has been verified, press the Install button to begin installing your instrument.
After pressing install you will see a dialogue where you can choose between 'Easy' and 'Manual' installation. In most cases, Easy install is the fastest and most convenient method, but if you encounter any network issues you can use the Manual install method.
After pressing the Manual Install button you will be prompted with instructions to download the instrument samples from your MNTRA account page, extract them to a safe location, and install the instrument data files.
If you use the Easy Install method, you will be asked to select a location to install the instrument's samples. We recommend a root folder where you won't accidentally delete them, or a dedicated samples hard drive. Make sure not to create a folder with the instruments name, as the installer creates its own!
Once your instrument finishes installing you are ready to explore our deep world of sound. We can't wait to hear what you make!

Pick a stable sample location
Use a dedicated samples drive or a stable root folder. Don't create a folder with the instrument name — the installer makes its own.
Easy vs Manual install
Easy install works for most people. Switch to Manual install if you hit network issues — your MNTRA account holds every download.
Refresh the Library after a purchase
If a freshly bought instrument doesn't appear in MNDALA's Library tab, hit Refresh — it'll pick up new entitlements.
Verify your email first
MNDALA 2 won't sign you in until your MNTRA account email is verified. Check your spam folder if it never arrived.
