6 Using the Browser
The Browser provides access to all MASCHINE files: Projects, Groups, Sounds, presets for In-
strument and Effect Plug-ins, and Samples. Each of these can be stored, tagged, and catego-
rized in a way that allows you easy access to all of them. MASCHINE’s factory library is already
completely tagged, as well as factory libraries of all Native Instruments products installed on
your computer.
Once both the MASCHINE software and MASCHINE JAM are up and running, your first stop is
the Browser. You can access the vast Library using the BROWSE button and navigate it using
the on-screen overlay in combination with the Encoder and the D-pad.
The sections within this chapter cover the generic use of the MASCHINE Browser when using
the MASCHINE JAM controller. For detailed information on the MASCHINE Browser, please
read the MASCHINE Software Manual.
The Browser in the on-screen overlay will respect settings made in the MASCHINE Soft-
ware such as; Prehear (audition), Preload, and the loading of Patterns with Groups.
Please refer to the MASCHINE Software to configure these settings. For more informa-
tion please read the MASCHINE Software Manual.
