Element

Description

Location

column

Displays the path of each library. If you have moved any library to

another location on your computer, click the folder icon on the left of
that library and select its new path.

Alias

column

Displays the alias stored for each library. Click an alias to edit it.
Defining aliases for your user folders is not mandatory, but it can be

of great help when working on different computers (see description

below). After adding a location (see

Add

below), click the field in the

new row and in the

Alias

column to set the alias for that new

location. The alias of the default user folder,

Standard User

Directory

, cannot be edited — this is the location where all your user

files will be stored by default.

Add

button

Click

Add

to manually add directories to the user library. See below

for more details.

Remove

button

Click

Remove

to remove the selected user library. Files will only be

removed from the MASCHINE Browser, not from your hard disk.

Rescan

button

If you have made any change to a library (e.g., added/removed files),
select it in the list and click the

Rescan

button to rescan that library.

Scan user content for
changes at start-up

checkbox

Click this checkbox to allow MASCHINE to scan for changes to the
User content directory during start-up.

You can resize the

Preferences

panel at your convenience using the usual method on your operating

system. You can also resize each column by clicking and dragging the border between both column
headers.

User Content Folder Included in MASCHINE’s User Paths

Products from Native Instruments will store user-generated content in a centralized User Con-
tent folder. In MASCHINE this User Content folder is automatically added to the list of user

directories in the

User

pane of the

Library

page in the

Preferences

panel, and as a conse-

quence its files are available in the MASCHINE Browser.
