You can assign tags to the Plug-in presets that you saved. This is done in the Browser in the MA-
SCHINE software. For more information, please refer to section ↑4.5, Editing the Files’ Tags and
Properties.
KOMPLETE products and MASCHINE EXPANSIONS have to be updated to ensure their full integra-
tion into the MASCHINE Library. To update any Native Instruments product installed on your com-
puter, please start the Service Center.
You can also load a Plug-in preset from the Plug-in menu by selecting the Open… command,
then navigating your file system and selecting the desired preset file (extension “.mxinst” for
Instrument Plug-in presets, “.mxfx” for Effect Plug-in presets, or “.mfxp” for MASCHINE 1.x
Module presets).
7.1.9.3 Removing a Default Plug-in Preset
For each plug-in you can set a default preset that is loaded automatically every time the plug-
in is opened. If the default plug-in preset is no longer required, use the Plug-in menu to re-
move the saved default preset.
To remove the default preset of a plug-in using the Plug-in menu:
1. Click the Sound containing the Plug-in.
2. Click the Plug-in drop-down menu.
