    Yes please, only thing that Maschine's missing (especially regarding the next update with Plugin support).

    keep this up in developments mind if they can add the windows folder browse combined with auditioning of samples from the hardware and the ability to read the main audio file types ie mp3, rex then that will be huge for workflow speed.

    and would also cut my mouse usage to dam near zero which is the goal of maschine

    you can browse your disk from the disk tab in Maschine just like flstudio and other daws, what this topic is about, is allowing Maschine to show your computer folders on the hardware browser like it does it's own database

    Im hopefull that ni will add this as they seem very intune with the features the users want but 1.6 is shaping up to be a beast.

    as i said with direct browsing and sample audition from the controller combined with the vst hosting and mp3 support.

    the game is gonna be on its head

    got my maschine 3 days ago, this is the ONLY thing i have encountered that has left me frustrated and underwhelmed. I have a HUGE sample library, I started to go through and tag things, but it takes AGES and is unreliable.

    i understand organising samples in maschine can be done within the software browser, but this defeats the point for me. apart from this i can leave my monitor alone to go to sleep, and it feels great when that happens!

    please NI, listen to us and implement disk browsing, direct sample auditioning from disk (instead of loading to replace), and if you insist on keeping the tagging system, please make it much more user friendly and fast - just like everything else in maschine.

    you've made an amazing product here, it's just being let down by a few little things.

    @Xob how is tagging unreliable? I have not had an issue there. as for direct disk browsing you can already do this but not from the controller unless you add to your library. also an really easy way to get your direct disk browsing if you don't wanna tag everything is just make one tag for each library, then you will be able to browse the same way your harddrive would... and you can tag as you go later.

    If FL studio can do it, maschine should be able to and FL is free...

    well technically FL studio isn't free, just the demo version is, and the way you browse your disk in FL is the same way you browse your disk from the disk tab in Maschine...

    However being able to browse those folders from the controller is a different story. I'm all for this feature!
