Hey, guys
I think I am doing it all wrong. I have few 3rd party libraries for NI Massive. I also have many Maschine expansions that have Massive presets. In the Browser, I have all Maschine expansions showing (I have like 10 of them), and inside their folders there are "Massive Presets" banks.
Question: Is there any way to get all these presets from Maschine expansions in to one folder so they show in one list?
Now bigger question is: How do I add location to the Browser?
I am realizing that I have several Masive folders spread on several hard drives. I have some libraries showing in the Massive Browser, while others do not. I don't remember which is the right Massive folder by default and which is wrong location. I don't know why I have all these libraries in different places.
so let's say I create one folder, find all libraries, put them all in one place- is there a way to add this folder to browser?
How do you organize your libraries? Thank you.
How to load or use 3rd party Massive presets?

I always put them in
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Native Instruments\Massive\Sounds\
probably your system has similar folder (depends on OS and OS version). If your packages have subdirectories, like
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Native Instruments\Massive\Sounds\WorldGreatestMassivePackage\Pads
you can copy those presets to
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Native Instruments\Massive\Sounds\WorldGreatestMassivePackage
so you can browse all presets in that package in one directory.
If I understood your question correctly, that is...
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Native Instruments\Massive\Sounds\

Yes, thank you. I have all the different locations with random libraries. Found bunch of them under "My Massive", not Favorites. But there is no way to point Massive to look on another drive? Thank you.

Open Massive
File->Options->Browser tab->Add
That works for me.

+1 save all your 3rd party presets into the 'Sounds' folder as explained above in the first post. Open Massive and either they will appear automatically in the Browser or you can 'Rebuild Database' to add them in permanently.
There are some huge free preset libraries out there for Massive, plus free 'demos' (a handful of presets) from commercial libraries. ADSR are having some big sales right now too.
