Native Instruments MASCHINE MK3 Groove Production Studio (Black) - Manual (Page 143)

► Click CANCEL in the Updating Database dialog to interrupt the scan.
A Cancel Rescan dialog opens up asking you to confirm that you want to cancel the scan:
The dialog warns you that cancelling the scan may lead to inconsistencies or missing
items in your MASCHINE Library.
▪ If you still want to cancel the scan, click CANCEL RESCAN at the bottom right, and the
scan will be cancelled.
▪ If you prefer instead not to cancel the scan, click CONTINUE or press [Esc] on your com-
puter keyboard, and the scan will go on.
If you cancelled the scan, any inconsistencies or missing items in your MASCHINE Library will
be resolved by rescanning the same path(s) again (via the
Rescan button mentioned above).
In opposition to the rescan process described here, you cannot cancel the import of files into the
MASCHINE Library (via the FILES pane of the Browser or via the Library page of the Preferences
panel) nor the process of applying changes to the file tags and properties (via the Attribute Editor in
the Browser).
Using Aliases
The aliases available in the Alias column act as references to the paths shown in the Location
column. When you save a Project, the saved data includes both the path and the alias for each
file used in the Project. This will allow you to use a Project on different computers even if the
files used in the Project (e.g., Samples) are stored in different locations on each computer:
Simply define the same alias for these locations on each computer, and MASCHINE will re-
place the path saved on the first computer with the path set to the same alias on the second
computer in order to retrieve the files on this second computer, therefore avoiding the possibil-
ity of missing Samples.
