"Select: Everything" is one way to choose all objects in the list. The All button performs a
similar function, as described below.
"Select:SearchStrg" allows you to enter a string to be searched for in all of the object names in
the list. Any objects with names containing the string can be selected. (Like "Dependents", this
mode is available for all functions except Load Object.)
Multiple Object Selector Soft Buttons
Here is a functional description of the soft buttons displayed on the Multiple Object Selector
page. This is followed by an explanation of the parameter operation for all of the above object
selection modes.
All Returns the Select parameter to Type/Range, if it was not already set that way. Sets
the Type to All Types and the Bank to All Banks, and also the StartId to 0 and the
EndId to 999. This soft button is provided as a quick way to define the selection range
as "Everything". Once the Type and Bank parameters have been set up in this manner,
it is easy to change either parameter to further define the selection range (i.e. All Types
of objects in the 400's bank, or Programs in All Banks)
Type Returns the Select parameter to Type/Range, if it was not already set that way. Sets
the Bank to All Banks, and also the StartId to 0 and the EndId to 999. The Type
parameter is set so that it matches the type of the currently indexed object from the
object list. For instance, if you were scrolled to a Setup object when you pressed
Multi, pressing the Type soft button would set up the Type parameter to Setup. This
is usually used to quickly select or deselect all objects of a particular type by scrolling
to the first object of that type, and then pressing Multi->Type->Set or Multi>Type-
>Clear. If you don't want to include all banks in the selection range, it is easy to adjust
the Bank or ID parameters to narrow the range.
The following three soft buttons will trigger the selection and deselection of items from the
current object listing, according to the function of the particular button. Only objects that are
included in the specified range will be selected or deselected. When this process is completed,
the display returns to the object function dialog.
Toggle For each of the objects in the specified range, "toggle" the selection status of the
object. In other words, if an object is already selected, then the object will be
deselected (the asterisk will go away). If an object is not already selected, it will be
selected (as indicated by an asterisk in the display between the object ID and object
name.)
Toggle is very useful for situations where you want to select all objects in the list
except those that meet certain qualifications. For instance, in the Delete Object utility
(from the Master page, press Object->Delete), you may want to delete all objects that
are not being used by a song that you are working on, in order to free up sample or
object RAM in the K2500. You could do this by first selecting the song and its
dependents (with no other objects selected, highlight the song, press Multi, then
select "Dependents" of "Current Item" and press Set) and then returning to the
