There is always one file type selected. When the File Type selector is open, the selected file
type is highlighted. You can turn the control encoder to move the focus (indicated by the white
underline) to another file type, and once the focus is on the desired file type, select it by
pressing the control encoder. The File Type selector then closes, its header shows the icon and
name of the selected file type, and the Product selector underneath opens.
Note that, as in the MASCHINE Browser, the File Type selector and the Content selector
on its right are mutually independent: For example, if the File Type selector is set to
Sounds and the Content selector is set to user content, if you select another file type,
say, Groups, the Content selector will stay untouched, and the browser will show you
Groups from the User Content. Furthermore, upon your selection in the Content selector,
the focus is not automatically moved to the next section.
Selecting a Product
If only one product has files available for the selected file type, this product is automatically
selected in the Product selector and the focus of the control encoder directly moves to the next
available section (e.g., the Bank selection or the
TYPES
filter).
This handy feature allows you to quickly narrow your search: E.g., if you have no MA-
SCHINE EXPANSIONS installed, the only product offering in Groups will be MASCHINE.
If you just set the File Type selector to Groups, MASCHINE will be automatically select-
ed in the Product selector and you can directly select a Bank or a set of Types to further
narrow your search.
Selecting a Type at the Third Level
In the MASCHINE Library, Projects, Groups, Sounds, and Samples can be tagged by up to
three hierarchical levels of Types. Accordingly, the on-screen overlay lets you progressively nar-
row your search by selecting tags in these three levels. The procedure remains the same as in
KOMPLETE KONTROL: When you select a Type at an upper level, a tag cloud appears under-
neath with all Sub-Types available at the next level, and this new tag cloud is automatically
focused to speed up your search.
Reminder: You can select multiple tags at a particular level by holding
SHIFT
when you
press the control encoder, thereby widening your search to files tagged with any of the
selected tags. Note that in this case the focus won’t automatically move to the next sec-
tion.
