Is it possible to import Sample tags from maschine to FL studio ?

in Maschine

I assume that sample tags are not stored in the file's metadata but somewhere in a .db3 file in the user folder but I have no idea how to retrieve all the tags ?

    I strongly suspect it is not possible, at least not in an easy way that would be better than retagging in FL

    So I managed to transfer tags but it requires some python code, its not that complicated but can be frustrating.

    • Open the komplete.db3 file in "C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Native Instruments\Maschine 2". I used DB Browser for that.
    • Then open the table named k_sound_info. It stores all the data for each file in the library (maschine sounds, maschine groups, presets, and wav files).
    • Exported the table in .csv file

    You then have a .csv containing all files informations, the differents fields are separated by commas, if there are multiple words in the field they are all put between " " like this "Drums, Clap, Digital".

    • Now just parse the file using python or something else. The FL Database structure is very simple it's just "filepath", tag1, tag2, . . . tagn

    Don't forget to put all the tags present at the beginning of the file and your all good.
