highlight the macro file that was just saved (as it would after any type of file that you save, in
Version 3):

Press OK to load SYNTH.MAC. Now the display reads:

There are a couple of things to notice here. The first is a new choice in the bank list, specified.
Load|this|macro|as|specified means load all the files in the macro following the exact
instructions for the bank and load mode for each file. All of the files were specified to be loaded
into the 200s bank using Fill mode. If this is acceptable at the time you want to load the macro,
you can just press OK. Otherwise, you can override the bank and mode settings for the entire
macro by choosing a different bank and mode before pressing OK (this is called rebanking the
macro.)
The other thing noticeable about the above display is that the Macro and Insert buttons are still
available. This is because the Macro mode is still Record. It is also perfectly acceptable to load a
macro file “into a macro.” If you do this, then the K2000 will add all of the macro file's entries
into the in-memory macro list. Later on, you will see how loading a macro file into the in-
memory macro list is a convenient way to edit a macro file or combine elements of several macro
files into one macro.
In this example, the in-memory macro is still there—it didn't go away after saving the macro file
(this only happens when you turn Macro Off, as described above.) Since Macro Record is still
enabled, loading in the SYNTH.MAC file will have the effect of adding a duplicate set of entries
into the in-memory macro.
Whatever method of loading you choose (specified in the macro or overriding the macro), the
K2000 will proceed to locate each file in the macro in the exact order in which the entries were
listed when the macro was saved. If the files were on different drives in your disk system, you
would be able to observe your various drives as they were selected in turn and files were loaded
from them.
If the K2000 cannot locate one of the files, you'll see a
Not|Found error message. If a drive
cannot be accessed (for instance, if the SCSI ID stored with the macro entries in this example was
no longer the current SCSI ID of the drive), you will see the message
Problem|mounting|disk, to which you must press OK. If Confirm is set to On on the Master
mode page, loading will stop on the first error message, giving you a chance to cancel the
