I was working today on a midi project and wanted to use some sound directly from the media bay. Majority of them are writ protected and I can’t use them. Can’t hear them or import them.  
I haven’t used media bay in a while but I am sure it wasn’t like that.  
Does anybody know how this write protected feature works and how turn it off? 😊  
Thanks

I rescanned the vst sounds in media bay and the problem solved itself.
