Native Instruments MASCHINE MIKRO MK3 Groove Production Studio (Black) - Manual (Page 140)

▪ You have already selected the Maschine product in the Product selector, and the Maschine
2.0 Library bank of this product (for more information on this, see section ↑ 4.2.3, Select-
ing a Product Category, a Product, a Bank, and a Sub-Bank ). For now the TYPES filter
shows only top-level tags.
▪ In order to find a bass, you first select the Instruments Type from the TYPES filter.
▪ In the second level, you select the Bass Sub-Type.
▪ Now the third level appears with Sub-Types like Acoustic , Electric , etc.
▪ By selecting any of these tags, say, Electric , you will narrow your search to this particular
Sub-Type of basses.
This allows you to quickly find various Samples (even for different instruments) with similar
characteristics — here, an acoustic sound.
Tags for Instrument, Effect, and Sample Presets: 2 Type Levels and 1 Character Level
For Instrument, Effect and Sample presets, tags can be of two kinds: Type or Character. You
can select them via the
TYPES and CHARACTERS filter, respectively:
▪ The TYPES filter works as described above for all other file types, except that only two hier-
archical levels are available. See above for a detailed description.
▪ The CHARACTERS filter provides an additional level that is independent from the Type lev-
els:
◦ In general, Character tags will rather refer to technical terms (e.g., Arpeggiated , Per-
cussive , Synthetic , etc.).
◦ The CHARACTERS filter is always displayed. You can start your search with the
CHARACTERS filter before (or even without) using the TYPES filter.
◦ However, the list of tags available in the CHARACTERS filter will vary depending on
the tags selected in the TYPES filter. If no file contains both the Type and Character
tags that you have selected, the Type tags will prevail and the Character tags will be
deselected.
If you don’t select any tag in the TYPES or the CHARACTERS filter, the Result list will include all
files satisfying any of their tags.
