11 Managing the Library
 
With  the  Browser  you  can  also  organize  your  own  Preset  file  s.  In  this  section  you  will  learn
how you save and manage your own Preset file s in the User Library and how to import KOM-
PLETE KONTROL-compatible user files.
11.1 Saving Preset Files to the User Library
 
KOMPLETE KONTROL allows you to conveniently save any sound you created with your Instru-
ments in a new user Preset file . Your saved files are automatically added to the user content
section of the Library  pane and can  be filtered and  searched  like any other  file in the  KOM-
PLETE KONTROL Library. On your hard drive, the user Preset file s are saved in the following
folder (sorted by Instrument, in corresponding subfolders):
▪ Windows: C:\Users\<your user name>\Documents\Native Instruments\User Content\
▪ macOS:  Macintosh  HD/Users/<your  user  name>/Documents/Native  Instruments/User  Con-
tent/
The  files  saved  for KOMPLETE  Instruments  with  KOMPLETE  KONTROL  are  compatible  with
the stand-alone and plug-in versions. This way you can, for example, open a KONTAKT file you
saved with KOMPLETE KONTROL in  the KONTAKT stand-alone application or  the plug-in by
opening the file from the user content folder described above.
The  files  you  save  in  KOMPLETE  KONTROL  are  compatible  with  MASCHINE.  To  add
them to the user content section of MASCHINE’s Library pane, click on Rescan in the
User pane of the Library page in the MASCHINE Preferences.
