Disk Mode Enhancements in Version 3
The Multiple Object Selector Page
4-35
You may notice that the cursor positions and parameter settings are remembered whenever you
exit the Multi Selector dialog, even if you exit the dialog and choose a different function. For
instance, 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.)
Select Dependents mode is very useful not just for saving dependents, but also for splitting up
groups of objects for placing in different files. 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.
Some common examples of operations that are possible using the 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 "piano" 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 depended on by Songs 400–410.
More Enhancements to the Save Dialog
The Choose File Name Function
When entering in a file name for saving, there is a Choose soft button. When Choose is pressed
from the file naming dialog, the K2000 will access the current disk directory and display the
following:
Dir:\||||||||||||Sel:0/10||||Index:|||1|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Choose|file|name:BOTTLE|||.KRZ|||||48K||
|||||||||||||||||CLAV|||||.KRZ|||1207K||
|||||||||||||||||REGGAE|||||||(dir)|||||
|Total:664K||||||STICK||||.KRZ||||550K||
||||||||Root||Parent|||||||||OK|||Cancel
The function of this dialog is to grab the text of any file name on the current disk, and either use
it as a starting point in the file naming dialog, or else use the chosen filename exactly. This helps
when replacing files on the disk (where the name must exactly match the file being replaced), or
adding files to the disk that have similar names or appended revision numbers. You can save
time by not having to type the entire file name in from the K2000's keypad.
The Open soft button is visible at the Choose|file|name: prompt only when a subdirectory
is highlighted.
Traversing directories from the Choose function does not change the current default directory.
