example, if you end up doing a lot of selecting of samples, or of dependents at various levels, the
parameters will stay set up the way you left them as you move from function to function (for
example, from Copy to Delete to Save, etc.).
ÒSelect DependentsÓ mode is very useful not just for saving dependents, but also for splitting up
groups of objects for placing in different Þles. By using the optional settings for the Specify
parameter (
All-> Keymap, All-> Program, Samples Only
etc.), you can separate the group of
objects that you want to save at any level of the object tree that is necessary.
Examples of possible operations using Multiple Object Selector:
¥
Select all the keymaps that are dependents of a block of programs.
¥
Select all the samples starting from ID 398.
¥
Select all the objects that have ÒpianoÓ in their object name.
¥
Select the programs, setups, and effects that are dependents of song 200.
¥
Select all of the keymaps and samples that are dependents of songs 400-410.
Macros
The K2600 lets you create lists of disk Þles called macros. The Þles can be located on any disk,
whether SCSI-based or in the internal Floppy drive. Files from SCSI disks in Roland and Akai
format can also appear in macros. Ensoniq Þles are not currently supported by K2600 macros.
Macros are stored in a data object called a Macro table, and these can exist in two forms:
¥
A Macro table object in the K2600Õs nonvolatile RAM. We call this the RAM Macro table.
¥
A disk Þle, containing one Macro table object. This disk Þle is called a macro Þle, and it has a
.MAC
extension (visible in the directory listing).
Macros are used primarily to load a K2600 with sound and sequence data from several Þles, or
with selected objects within Þles. When a macro Þle is loaded, every selected object in every
selected Þle in that macro ÞleÕs Macro table will be loaded, according to the order of the entries
in the Macro table.
The Macro Page
There can be only one Macro table in the K2600Õs memory at any time. This object is created for
the Þrst time by turning on Macro Record mode, from the MACRO page, which you reach by
pressing the
Macro
soft button on the Disk-mode page, as shown below.
