    How do you remove a tag? I messed up a bit with adding new tags and I'd like to remove them. Or change their names of possible. :eek:

    i think you can do this with right-clicking (control -click on a Mac) on the tag in the Browser. maybe you get a pop-up with an option?

    I was able to remove the tag in the main browser, but it was still there in the edit area. Now that I have a fresh installation on a new PC, I don't want to mess up again. When I de-installed and re-installed Maschine on my old PC, the tag was still there, so there must be a file somewhere that stores the tags. If I know which file it is, I could make a back-up copy before I start "experimenting" again. ;)

    these tags can be like ghosts in the Maschine (sorry). even with supposedly clean installs, they would still rase their ugly heads.

    so, i don't know where this file is, sorry :(

    Did you try rescanning your user content after you deleted the tags?

    They'd be stored in your maschinedb. On XP (turn on show hidden files and folders):

    C:\Documents and Settings\*your user account*\Local Settings\Application Data\Native Instruments\Maschine

    I'm not a Mac user, so I couldbn't say- it's probably in Application Support, though.

    Why not use the finder?

    Same problem and I'm on a mac. I did find the file though.

    It's in Users/(whatever you've named it)/Library/Application Support/Native Instruments/Maschine

    I've opened it up and see the custom bank name that I like to remove but am hesitant to do so as it's stuck in the midst of a bunch of code looking text.

    This needs to be editable from the browser.

    I guess I'll try to post a feature request? Though I'm not sure this is really a feature. :)
