Macros

to open three directories to select the Þle for loading. This gives you quick access to the Þle while

preserving the organization of your program Þles.

If you know that you want to save all of the entries into the macro Þle (as we do for this

example,) just press All. The K2600 will go through the standard Þle saving dialog in which you

choose a Þlename and select a directory to save the Þle in.

LetÕs save the Þle as \ANALOG\SYNTH.MAC. Macro Þles are automatically saved with the

.MAC extension. While the Þle is being saved, youÕll see something like this:

Loading the Macro File

So far, so good. We have created a macro in memory and saved it to the disk, in the same

directory as the Þles that are listed in the macro.

This example loads Þles from within a single directory on a single disk, to keep things simple.

But you can create macros that load Þles from any number of directories on any number of

disks.

Now, letÕs go to the Load page and try to load the macro Þle, which will load all the Þles in the

macro fileÕs Macro table. When you return to the Load page, the Þle list highlights the macro Þle

that was just saved (as it would after any type of Þle that you save):

Dir:\ANALOG\|||||Sel:0/5|||||Index:|||5|

|||||||||||||||||RESONANT|.K26||||109K||

|||||||||||||||||SYNAPSE||.K26||||421K||

||||File|to|load:SYNTH||||.MAC|||||.5K||

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

|Total:664K|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Select||Root||Parent||Open|||OK|||Cancel

Press OK to load SYNTH.MAC. Now the display reads:
