Disk Mode Enhancements in Version 3
Object Utilities
If you only select a single object to move, you will see a different dialog, similar to the
Save/Replace dialog from the editor:
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Move|Awesome|Click|to:|ID#198|||||||||||
(replace|Click)|||||||||||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||||||||||||Replace|Cancel
Note that when you only select one object to move, you can replace another object. However,
when you select multiple objects for moving you cannot overwrite any objects.
Copy
Pressing Copy from the Object Utility page takes you to the Copy utility. The Copy utility
allows you to select any group of objects and copy them to a different bank. Only object data is
copied, and not sample data. If you copy a sample object, you will end up with a “copy sample”
that points to the same region of sample RAM as the original.
The operation of the Copy utility is identical to the Move utility just described.
If the objects to be copied in a single operation include any objects grouped together with any of
their dependents, the new copies of the parent objects will reference the new copies of the
dependent objects. As an example, suppose you select Song 400 and its three dependent
programs, Program 200, 210, and 303. If you copy all of these objects at once into the 700s bank,
using Fill mode, you will see the copies at Song 700 and Program 700, 701, and 702. Song 700
will reference the copies of the programs (at 700, 701, and 702.) In contrast, if you had only
made a copy of Song 400 as Song 700, the song would reference the old programs (at 200, 210,
and 303.)
Name
The Name utility allows you to name one or more objects with the same name. This is much
faster than naming each object individually, as was necessary in previous software versions. A
lot of times you might want several objects to have the same name except for a unique identifier
at the end of the name. Using this utility function, you could assign a common name to multiple
objects at once, and then quickly name each one a little differently.
When you press OK after selecting objects, you will see the following screen prompting you for
an object name, with a suggested default:
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Object|Name:||||Zither||||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
