Macros
history of Þles you have recently loaded. Both the Macro mode and the Macro table are
remembered between power-cycles of the K2600 via the battery-backed memory.
A macro can hold as many entries as there is space for in your K2600Õs nonvolatile RAM.
How to Make a Macro File
This section will take you through creating, saving, and loading a macro Þle. A simple example
will be used. Afterward, you will be able to apply the example and create your own macro Þles.
The Þrst step in making a macro Þle is to turn on Macro Record mode (from the MACRO Page,
press On, if you have not already done so).
Creating the Macro
Suppose you have the following four Þles on your disk (on SCSI ID 5, in the directory
\ANALOG\) that contain analog-style synthesizer programs, and you would like to have one
macro Þle that will load them all:
Dir:\ANALOG\|||||Sel:4/4|||||Index:|||1|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
||||File|to|load:MULTIVOX|.K26*||||98K||
|||||||||||||||||NOISE||||.K26*||||36K||
|||||||||||||||||RESONANT|.K26*|||109K||
|Total:664K||||||SYNAPSE||.K26*|||421K||
Select||Root||Parent||Open|||OK|||Cancel
Using multiple selection, you can select all four Þles, as shown (you can also open each Þle and
select one or more objects in that Þle; when you load the macro, only those objects get loaded).
When you press OK you will see the usual Load dialog, but with the extra soft buttons Macro
and Insert:
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
||Load|this|file|as:200...299|||||||||||
||||||||||||||||||||300...399|||||||||||
||||||||||||||||||||400...499|||||||||||
||||||||||||||||||||500...599|||||||||||
Insert||||||||||||||||Macro|||OK||Cancel
The extra soft buttons are available only in Macro Record mode. First, select the bank that you
want, as usual. Press OK means to load all of the selected Þles into the K2600, and add all of the
Þles to the Macro table. If youÕre just creating a macro Þle, and donÕt need to load any Þles at the
moment, press Macro, which adds the Þles to the Macro table, but doesnÕt load them into the
K2600.
When you add Þles to a Macro table, they get added at the end of the Macro table by default.
Insert is for inserting Þle entries at any point in a Macro table. See Macro Insert on page 13-57 for
more information.
