Disk Mode Enhancements in Version 3
Macros
Selecting the Directory to use for Saving a File
After you specify the file name when saving any file, you can then be choose either the default
current directory for saving the file in, or any other directory on the current disk:
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Use|current|directory|for|BOTTLE.KRZ?|||
(Path|=|\)||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|||||||||||||||||||||Change||OK|||Cancel
Pressing OK will select the default path (the current directory), which in this display is the root
directory (\). Pressing Change will allow you to view the disk, traversing its directories, until
you find the one in which you want to save the file. If you choose a different directory from the
default, it will become the new default directory.
Saving Any File sets the File Index
After saving a file in Version 3, you can go to any disk function (such as Load), and the just
saved file will be automatically highlighted. This makes it easy to find a file that you have just
saved, in case you want to delete it, add it to a macro, move it to a different directory, open it (if
it is a.KRZ or a .MAC file), etc.
Macros
In the K2000 Version 3 software, you can create lists of disk files called macros. The files can be
located on any drive, whether SCSI based or the internal floppy drive. Files from SCSI drives in
Roland and Akai format can also appear in macros.
macros are stored in a data object called a macro table. These can exist in two forms:
1. A macro table object in the K2000's non-volatile RAM.
2. A disk file, containing one macro table object. This disk file is called a macro file, and it has
a .MAC extension (visible in the directory listing).
Macros are primarily used to configure a K2000 with sound and sequence data from several
files, or selected objects within files. When a macro file is loaded, every file that is listed in its
macro table will be loaded, according to the order of the entries in the macro table.
