Can no longer use custom thumbnails for your custom Maschine kits!
Is anyone else having this issue or did everyone just leave and went and bought a MPC?…. Looks Like your no longer able to make custom thumbnails for your custom kits anymore. My best guess to what's going on is down at the bottom where u can edit the tags and properties (i.e vender name and author) u can't edit the "product" name under the general tab it defaults to Maschine. So your stuck with the ugly stock Maschine icon for groups and no icon for everything else. if you load a NI pack (i.e Street Swarm) it has the name of the pack in the "product" field. I've been at it all day and that's the only difference i've found.

Do you still have custom icons on maschine 2 ? I tried the old maschine masters tutorials but i can't make them work in maschine 2

I hope they leave it intact. Would be a real bad choice if they did remove it.

It was never a feature, just a hack, this wont get fixed.

It is possible still - I made a couple just to demonstrate how to do it - you have to be very precise about names and paths and the vendor name can be edited (they need to be in a folder with the vendor name then inside that the pack name) eg

This part of Maschine could be improved massively. Everyone has sample packs they want to use,
I tried importing lots of sample packs in M+ but it quickly turn into a mess with surgical tagging of every file, type, one shot or loop, and the inability to just add a picture.
The vendor tag seems to have a bug so you can’t choose a manufacturer it just seems to ignore the input (I think the OP is discussing this above)
Why doesn’t NI want you to be able to quickly choose/find/customise your own samples ?

What system are you seeing that issue on? It's working here
I agree editing and tagging content in Maschine and KK is awkward to say the least, especially in the version 3's.

Kymeia thanks for the vid, but u were editing the "vender" name. I said the "Product" name can't be edited. It defaults to Maschine for some reason.

Cause you didn’t buy them from them…😏

I'm referring to this comment from nicknackers, not yours

"It defaults to Maschine for some reason"
I just had a look at my samples, and the Product name is being taken from the folder where the sample is located.
In my case, the folder structure is /Samples & loops/Sonic Reality/Triple Guitar Samples/ and all three folder names are shown under Product in the Maschine browser.
Your sample must be in a folder called Maschine, so that's the Product name shown.

Ty for the feed back. I'll double chk this tonight when I get home. Because I'm not 100% sure what I named the folder on the external drive. On my old system I just put them in the same location as the official packs (within their own folders and names) and it worked without issue. But I wanted them on their own drive this time. Also I've reached out the the person who made one of the original tutorials about this and he's having an issue on the new software also.

This used to work for me in Maschine 2 but not in Maschine 3. We had this conversation already in another thread and I tried all your suggestions without success. It seems that something beside properly matching path and vendor names have an impact.

I know - I can't account for why it didn't work for you but so far I've not had a problem as long as folder names are straightforward. Just to prove it I imported another sample library from my Wav samples folder and made a short video (no words needed) - all that was needed here was selecting all the samples and changing the vendor to Patchpool, adding a Patchpool folder in NI Resources/image and dragging in a thumbnail 96x47px named VB_artwork
