I have realised that in the console the channels that have no instruments on the tracks will not move into the folder track on the bus.
So having one instance of Maschine set up with the 8 groups going out on 8 inst tracks each with midi routed for recording, then sent to a bus and tracks packed in a folder, 7 of the tracks will remain visible in the console and only the one with the VST plugin on will disappear.
never mind just thought is would have kept the console tidy when working on other parts of the track.
