Can't Find Existing Instrument in Logic Sound Library

In a previous project I used the Retro Synth patch, which I found in the sound library (by name) without any problem. I want to use it in a new project, but can't find it under either the Bass or Synth categories when I open the Library nav bar. I've been able to copy the channel strip from the old project and paste it into the new one, where it plays without any problem. Why can't I find it to load in directly?

Have checked in the Sound Library Manager and all available sounds are showing as "installed".

I'm working on a MacBook M1 Pro, Sequoia 15.2, Logic 11.1.2.

There are times when you can inherit older sounds from say Logic Pro 9 that are no longer available on today's Logic Pro. I personally have not seen a whole lot on this subject but have experienced it myself.

The good thing is that you found a workaround 😃.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I don't think that's what's going on. That sound was easy to find when I did the other project just a couple of months ago. Plus, the sound/instrument is there and playable in the current track. Just can't get the name to come up in the library. Thanks again.
