If you own Kontakt we recommend that you use the Kontakt versions under Maschine s Instrument section for a more enhanced experience (has more features).

MOVING SAMPLES INTO YOUR OWN LIBRARY This section of the getting started guide exists to remind you that the Maschine Kits and Battery Kits depend on the structure of the entire library to locate samples correctly. If you intend on moving samples (i.e. drum hits and loops) to your own sample library, we strongly recommend that you copy the samples, rather than move them. 9
