Importing Files to the MASCHINE Library

Apart from the huge MASCHINE factory library, you might want to use your own samples or any

MASCHINE files you received from other users. As described previously, you can load them di-

rectly from the

FILES

pane. If this can come in handy, e.g., to quickly check received files in a

MASCHINE context, it can get tedious when using the files on a regular basis. Furthermore,

you won’t be able to find and load them from your controller nor from the

LIBRARY

pane (see

section

4.2, Searching and Loading Files from the Library

).

For this you will have to import the files into the Library first. Importing files does not mean
they will be moved from the directory they currently reside in, they will only be referenced by

the Browser. That’s why whenever you move files, make sure to update the paths to their re-

spective directories in the

Library

page of the

Preferences

panel, as described in section

3.6.4, Preferences – Default Page

.

This section describes how to import files into the MASCHINE Library. When working on a Project,

you can also save individual objects (Project, Groups, Sounds, Plug-in presets, or Samples) of the
Project to the Library for later use. This will be described in each object-specific section, later in

this manual.

MASCHINE supports WAVE (.wav) and AIFF (.aiff) sample formats at a sample rate of 44.1 kHz or

greater and a bit depth of 16 bits, 24 bits or 32 bits float.

The

FILES

pane allows you to import whole folders. All MASCHINE-compatible files found in

the selected folder(s) will be imported.
To import a folder, do the following:
1.

Click the

FILES

tab at the top of the Browser to open the

FILES

pane.

2.

In the

FILES

pane, navigate to the folder containing the folder you want to import. To do

this, use the various tools described in the previous sections.
