Hi. Yes, but not auto-magically, it has to be done manually.

Previews are just .OGG audio files in a hidden .previews sub-folder where the content is, filenames must match just with added .OGG extension, works in the M+ aswell, looks like this:

Works for projects, groups, sounds, etc…

I‘m not sure as I never tried this myself, but probably a sound file in OGG format placed next to the preset with the same name as the preset could work.

@D-One probably could share some insights, as he’s done some substantial integration of his own custom sounds with tagging and images. Maybe also previews. I think he even did some sort of tutorial on this but it might have been on Ye Olde Forum.

where i find this folder .previews?

and if you can give me please the link where you did the tutorial for organize and personalize the libraries like told Ozon

anyway i tried with .wav audio file and make the previews in loop an one-shots without problem

but should be better have in any libraries for workflow

only in groups, sounds and instruments seem impossible

i will try this method…

Nowhere, you have to create it.

Loops and One-shots don't need previews, the Maschine Browser just plays them directly.

Whatever you want the preview to be.

Example: Place a single note on pattern, drag-and-drop as wav, convert to .ogg, place and name it like described above.

Example: Say you have a Group called MY_KIT, save it to folder called MY_Groups, create a new folder inside MY_Groups called .previews, put the .OGG there and name it MY_KIT.mxgrg.ogg

Make sure the folder is added to your User Library and thats it, this is fairly simple so I dont know how else to explain it. You will need to enable "View Hidden Files" in Windows/MacOS Explorer/Finder
