Save/browse/load individual instruments. Pleeeeeease :)
Reached the point where I've nearly got 3 full banks of 'instrument' patches I've made. Mostly sample sounds. Tho some are combinations of an AU like zeeon etc + fx.
This is approx 400 sounds over 3 banks... I really need to be able to browse them in some kind of traditional sense. Not as banks. I miss being able to save/browse for my user patches like I do in Kontakt for example.
For a few reasons it's frustrating not being able to do this.
- I can't always remember which bank I have a certain sound in if I want to load it in to a project.
- loading an entire bank with 128 sounds (including some AU) is total overkill just to access ONE sound.
- the workaround is to store each sound as an individual bank. But by doing this I can't import a sound on to a pad in an existing bank that has sounds in it.
@5pinlink maybe I have this all wrong tho?
From memory I feel like with your shared Mellotron presets you managed to do what I'm trying to do? Separate patches and not Banks? If it's possible I'd really appreciate instructions 
Like how to store sample layers/mapping info + fx etc as one pad that I can browse/load.
Pleeease @mathieugarcia if it isn't possible already can we have a simple 'save pad + fx' in to the browser to build user sound libraries 
Thanks for considering

Nah i just did banks for each preset and listed them in a single folder, im desperate for this too !!
My fear is that because it was not implemented from day 1 and so many packs have been released by Intua, they may not want to do it now, that is the reason Maschine 2 never got its patterns back from v1.
Ah man, I really hope it's not a case of 'never'
its a pretty big deal. Needs that Kontakt kind of basic functionality for user save/browse/load user patches. Fingers crossed...
I hope so too, but we haven't even got AU preset support, so its not something i would hold out for.
Under each plugin in the browser there should be a preset dropdown.
Plus there should be an instrument tab with banks and samples, but we will have to see.
Effects tab too, for effects chains, forgot that, oh and layer fx needs to be a full chain like everywhere else, so we dont need effects chains that only load here, effects chains that only load there.
Mega +1s
@mathieugarcia Would be interested to hear your take on this if you get a sec
Just to be able to adjust expectations and begin to organise stuff.
Like if this kind of save/browse/load per pad is definitely impossible and never going to arrive, I should probably begin the job of saving all my sounds out to 1 per bank so I can browse them.
Going to be a mission though, there are hundreds! So I don't really want to be doing it if I'm later going to be able to save as pad and have to do it all again
Thanks dude!
Not really, if it is a synth or multisample with effects, that is a lot of resampling which is all manual, and some synths/samples/effects just cant be sampled because they are time based.
Yeah like @5pinlink says a lot of the sounds aren't static, they have various modulations per layer etc and some also have timestrech options etc. Plus I'd lose fx tails, fx bpm and I think I'd also have to set amp env and loop settings etc each time I loaded one if I understand correctly?
When I build an instrument, I always do two things. I save the whole bank as the instrument itself...and make sure I save the bank and collect resampled versions with effects off the master of the notes themselves. C-F usually.
When i build an instrument i save the bank, done. (Not save with samples either)
