    I am not sure why that is but is there a way to fix it? I would love for my sample libraries for kontakt 5 to show up in the maschine browser while using maschine.

    That's because NI have only made presets for NI libraries. You'd have to save out your presets as Maschine ones.

    you would think that since NI endorses some of them that they would show up perfectly fine. The library I have in mind is VI One. They paid the license fees and what not so you would think that would be something that would show up. Then again I would love if presets for all of my plug ins showed up on the browser. its just a workflow thing. I hope NI works this on this

    NI only made presets for their own products in Komplete. I doubt they'll spend the thousands of man-hours setting up presets, mapping knobs etc for somebody else's library. It'd be up to the people making the library to make their own presets, set up the automation knobs how they wanted to etc.
    I agree. However this would only be technically possible for plugins that use the standard plugin .fxp .fxb format. Not all of them do. But there could definitely be improvements in this area.

    i also should add that maschine automaps knob settings for vsts already. I can load up fxpansion bloom and start tweaking away stuff is labeled and everything. Same with Etch, my T-Racks stuff ect. Which is why I wonder why this doesn't happen with endorsed libraries

    Yes it does, but not necessarily in the desired order. When I save out my plugs, I usually redo the knobs. Note that with Kontakt, none of the knobs are mapped for any of the presets unless the preset manufacturers have added automation to their presets; they usually haven't.

    didn't even realize that about Kontakt. Then again I don't usually tweak many kontakt patches

    Well technically "endorsed" libraries are the ones like Damage, Evolve, Scarbee, etc...

    Anyone can pay to license the kontakt player for their library, but not all "kontakt player" libraries are actually partner instruments.

    Plugin preset import would be cool though
