If you press the Load button and load in a Þle from a subdirectory called SOUNDS, the Path
Þeld will appear as
Path|=|\SOUNDS\
The slash character is also used as a directory separator, as in the following Path:
Path|=|\NEWTUNE\SAMPLES\DOGS\
This represents the subdirectory DOGS, that is located in the SAMPLES subdirectory of the
NEWTUNE directory in the root directory. If the path is to long to Þt on the top line of the
screen, its display may be abbreviated. The maximum length of a path in the K2vx is 64
characters (including '\' characters).
Startup
The Startup parameter determines what disk drive will be used for loading the power-up
macro Þle BOOT.MAC (See "Creating a Startup File," page 13-63). If this is set to None, then the
K2vx will power-up in a normal fashion. If this is set to a SCSI device or Floppy, when the
K2vx is next powered on it will look for the BOOT.MAC Þle in the root directory of the
speciÞed disk, and load in each of the entries in the macro speciÞed within.
This feature provides a very ßexible way to automatically conÞgure your K2vx's memory
contents whenever you turn the power on.
Library
This feature works in conjunction with the Macro feature to provide a way to distribute Macro
Þles that load data from removable media without having to know in advance the SCSI ID of
the removable drive. A Macro Þle stores its references to drives by drive ID (SCSI ID or
Floppy), or by either a "Library" or "UnspeciÞed" designation (see the section on Macro Þles,
page 13-38.) Typically, you would set the Library parameter to be the same as the SCSI ID of
your CD-ROM drive, if you were loading Macro Þles from a Floppy disk or another SCSI drive
that referenced CD-ROM Þles containing samples or keymaps.
Use of the Library feature is described in more detail later on in this guide.
Disk Drive Information
Below the media type and disk capacity is displayed speciÞc information about the current
disk's manufacturer, model number and internal mechanism. The K2vx requests this
information from a SCSI drive when the drive is selected by setting the Current Disk
parameter. This information may be needed when determining if a given drive is compatible
for SCSI operation with the K2vx.
Macro On Indicator
When the "
(Macro|on)
"
indication is displayed, it means that any load operation
performed will be recorded in the K2vx's macro table. The Macro feature is described starting
on page 13-38 in this guide.
Disk Mode Soft Buttons
Here is a brief description of each of disk modeÕs soft button:
Load
- Loading Þles or loading Þles from the current disk into K2vx memory.
Save
- Saving banks of objects, selected objects, or a macro as a K2vx Þle on the current disk.
Macro
- Controls macro recording. Allows modifying entries from the current macro list.
