Expansion & Kit not highlighted

FrankieMino

Hi everyone. Hope someone can help shed some light.

In Maschine 2 (software) and even when connected to the hardware (Maschine MK3) whenever I open a project and select a pattern/group tab, the drum kit that corresponds to the expansion or highlight which kit is used. When I play the project it plays the drum kit that was last saved but it doesn't highlight which kit was used.

As an example… It's like selecting a preset within the expansion… recording and saving the project data & samples related to it… Close the project… then open the project and it plays like it should but all the kits and expansions related I used are not highlighted. I select groups in the software browser and it shows me all the expansions but doesn't highlight which expansion the pattern/group tab belongs to.

If I don't name which expansion and kit I used for the given pattern/group tab I would never know which kit belongs to which expansion. It's like the preset is playing but not highlighted.

I'm not that proficient in using the entire workflow of maschine 2 SW and Hardware MK3 as I'm still learning though I understand the basics.

Any help would be appreciated. Cheers

I'm curious…. Why do you need that info?

1 - If you press the magnifying glass icon on any Pad then Maschine will refocus the Browser on whatever method you used to load that Sound: Tags, Search, including Expansion "highlighting". When it's a Group/Kit since it's not made by you the Browser will focus on whatever the designer used to reach that Sound, which will also lead to Expansion "highlighting".

2 - Expansion Group/Kit names and their sounds generally are also related, kits named "Bla-Bla" tend to have kicks and snares also called Bla-Bla so you can search for the word on the Browser.

3 - If it's a sample you can also just right-click the waveform in the Sampling Menu and select "Open in Explorer/Finder", the folder name will be the product/expansion.

4 - You can search the name of the sound in the browser and just click EDIT to see the Tags, that include product name.

Hi D-One

And thanks for the reply. I don't need the info but it just makes it easier (for me at least) to see what is used so I can also name tracks when exporting things to another DAW. Also when scrolling through kits and testing them over existing scores it would be easier to know which kit I used originally that I preferred. But it's all good.

I really appreciate the info you have provided. It's a huge help. Thanks!
