Disk Mode Enhancements in Version 3
Saving Files
The objects in the list are grouped by type (sample, program, keymap, etc.) The list can be
scrolled using the Alpha wheel or the Up/Down cursors. The CHAN/BANK buttons on the
front panel can be used for fast scrolling.
Each line in the scrollable list represents one object in RAM, and displays the object's type, ID,
name, and size. Samples have additional information, the sample's root key and a stereo
sample indicator:
Sample||501|Hi|Vocal||||||||G|4S|||179K
The Size field is interpreted differently for samples and non-samples. For non-samples (songs,
programs, etc.), it shows the number of bytes used by the object in the file, and hence the
amount of program memory that the object will occupy in the K2000. For samples, the size field
shows the size of the all sample data associated with the object, and is displayed in kilobytes (K).
For samples, the letter S after the root key indicates a stereo sample.
Due to display space constraints, if the sample's root key happens to be in the lowest MIDI
octave range (C -1 through B -1), it will be displayed in a truncated form. For instance, if a
sample's root key was set to C -1, the display would read:
Sample||530|ReallyLoVoc|||C|-||||198K
The status line at the top of the screen specifies the object function being performed
(Func:SAVE||||), the number of selected objects in the list followed by the total number of
objects in the file (|Sel:0/5||||), and the current list index: ||Index:1.
Entering in a number from the alphanumeric buttonpad will jump to the indexed entry, and
typing in a large number like 9999 will go to the end of the list.
The soft buttons on this page are used for multiple selection of the objects in the list as well as for
moving around the list when there are many items selected or listed.
Here is a brief description of each button's function, followed by a detailed explanation of its
operation.
Select Select or deselect an object.
Next Jump to the next selected object.
Type Jump to the next object of a different type.
Multi Go to the Multiple Object Selector page.
OK Tell K2000 to proceed to save the selected objects.
Cancel Exit back to the Disk Mode page.
Press the Select button to choose the highlighted object for saving. An asterisk (*) is placed in
between the object name and the object ID for any items that are selected. Deselecting a
selected object is done by pressing Select again. The asterisk will disappear. The easiest way to
choose objects for saving is by scrolling the list and individually pressing Select on each object
that you want to save.
