Maschine user group thumbnail

GreymakesMusic

Hello

I want to make my own kit, from what I have been shown it should appear in the user section of the groups, but I need to know how I can add a custom thumbnail for it

Anyone know how to do this

iconmaschine.com is offline, not sure if it's temporary or dead. I vaguely remember the author contacting me on Instagram for a new version he was gonna work on, haven't heard from him since.

Theres an app for windows here: https://github.com/tstephansen/MaschineImageMaker

For Mac I think the only way right now is to do it manually:

1. Navigate to /Users/Shared/NI Resources/image, find yourself a folder for an Expansion and duplicate it.
2. Change the name of the new dupe folder to match the folder name of your sample pack,and edit all the .png images with any image editor to your liking.
3. Change the name of the .meta file, open it with a text editor, and change the name there as well.
4. The content must be tagged with the Vendor property that matches the folder name / name you give in the .meta file.

Pretty much this : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gsrV3cC9XpY

This will work for One-Shots and Loops, for Groups see my next post.

Yeah, not helping at all. When I go onto the website it just comes up with a blank page

I had the same question and went to youtube and searched "custom images maschine". There's a few videos on how to do it and the one I linked previously was one of them. Not sure why you can't view it.

Still very confused. I have my own kits located on my external hard drive. How is putting the images in the user resource image folder helping

Well... It helps because that's where Maschine loads the images from, hence the folder's existence.

I forgot a major detail: The content must be tagged with the Vendor property that matches the folder name / name you give in the .meta file. It doesn't matter where your samples are located.

This will work for One-Shots/Loops, like so:

For Groups it's harder, because the "Bank" tag must be edited but and NI does not allow it for some stupid reason, so the only way is using scripts that force modify them like Nimbank. https://denivel.blogspot.com/2023/01/nimbank-tool-update-40.html

A command like this:

python3 NiMBank.py -b "test" /Users/hackintosh/Desktop/test/*

tags all content in a folder called test in my desktop with the bank tag "test", which results in this:

You need python3 installed for it to work.
