What happened to Garageband 6.0.5 software instruments?

I recently got a new laptop. Everything seems to be working fine, but all the software instruments from Garageband 6.0.5, and the Legacy instruments in Garageband 10, are missing!


In Garageband 6.0.5, there are no errors- instead, a low bass sound plays in place of every software instrument. In Garageband 10, if I try to select a Legacy instrument, an "EXS24 instrument <filename> not found." error pops up!


I restored Library>Apple and Library>Application Support>Garageband from my backup, but nothing seems to have changed.


How do I get the software instruments to work again?

I also tried restoring Garageband in the applications folder from Time Machine, and it didn't help either.
