The User Paths tab shows the locations of all MASCHINE files and Samples you have added to
the Library. By clicking on the folder icon to the right, you can change the path for example if
you moved your sample folder to another location.
Please consult chapter ↑3, Browser for more information on adding your own samples.
Screen Element Description
LOCATION Shows the path of your user content. Click the icon to change the path.
ALIAS ALIAS acts as a reference to the path in the LOCATION column. This is a
stand-in for any folder on your computer or removable drive and provides a
dynamic link to it. The path in the LOCATION column may be changed,
but the ALIAS column will still provide the link therefore avoiding the pos-
sibility of missing samples. The Alias also allows you to use a Project on
different computers even if the samples are stored in different locations.
After adding a Location, double-click the ALIAS column to set the Alias
name. The Alias of the first entry in the list, named 'standard user Directo-
ry' cannot be edited.
ADD Click ADD to manually add directories to the Library; keep in mind that
any MASCHINE-compatible files in those directories will not be tagged if
you add them like this (see the Browser chapter for more information on
importing and tagging your files). Paths to samples that you added via the
import function from the Browser will also show up here.
REMOVE Click REMOVE to remove directories from the Library. Files will only be re-
moved from the MASCHINE Browser, not from your hard disk.
RESCAN If you have changed the content of the selected directory (such as added
or removed files), you should rescan it in order to let MASCHINE know
which files have been removed and/or added so that they show up in the
MASCHINE Library.
