Tags for Projects, Groups and Sounds: 3 Type Levels
For Projects, Groups and Sounds tags are structured into three hierarchical levels globally
called Types. You can select them via the
TYPES
filter:
▪
At first the
TYPES
filter displays the available top-level tags only.
▪
As soon as you select a tag at the top level, the second level appears underneath with sub-
tags of the selected tag.
▪
The hierarchical structure means that the sets of sub-tags are specific to each tag of the
level above.
Example: Imagine that you are looking for a bass synth
▪
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
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.
