Loading Selected Entries from a Macro File
It is possible to examine the contents of a Macro Þle from any disk function page - the same
way you would open a .KRZ Þle to check out what objects are stored in it - by highlighting the
.MAC Þle and pressing Open:
Dir:\ANALOG\|||||Sel:0/5|||||Index:|||5|
|||||||||||||||||RESONANT|.KRZ||||109K||
|||||||||||||||||SYNAPSE||.KRZ||||421K||
||||File|to|load:SYNTH||||.MAC|||||.5K||
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|Total:664K|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Select||Root||Parent||Open|||OK|||Cancel
The K2vx will need to read the Macro Þle into a temporary area of internal memory, which
means there needs to be enough free RAM to accommodate it. When Open is pressed from the
Load function, a dialog similar to the Macro page and the Save Macro page will be entered,
called the Load Macro page:
Func:LOAD|MACRO|||Sel:2/4||||Index:|||1|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|5:\ANALOG\MULTIVOX.KRZ||||||||200:F:|||
*5:\ANALOG\NOISE.KRZ|||||||||||200:F:|||
|5:\ANALOG\RESONANT.KRZ||||||||200:F:|||
*5:\ANALOG\SYNAPSE.KRZ|||||||||200:F:|||
Select|Check|||||||||All|||||OK||||Exit|
From the Load Macro page, you can select one or more individual Macro entries for loading,
instead of having to load the entire Macro. This is done using the Select soft button, identical
to the method of saving Macro entries. In fact, this dialog operates identically to the Save
Macro dialog, with one exception, the Check soft button.
The Check button will cross-check all of the Macro entries in this opened Macro Þle against the
currently in-memory Macro Table, if there is one. Any entries in the opened Macro Þle that are
not in the in-memory Macro Table will be selected when you press the Check button. The
selected Macro entries can then be loaded in by pressing OK. This can be helpful to avoid
loading in duplicate Þles if you...
a) use Macro Record to keep a running history of Þles that you have already loaded into the
K2vx, and
b) have a lot of Macro Þles that load in a similar lists of Þles.
If the Open button is pressed from a disk function other than Load, you will see the View
Macro page:
