Installing Kurzweil K2600 ROM Options
Installing Object Files
Installing Object Files
Object files organize raw samples and other data into the programs that you use during normal
operations. There’s a file containing “base objects”: all the standard factory program
information. There’s also a separate object file for each option that you’ve installed. You’ll need
to reinstall the base objects first, then install the object file for each of the options installed in
your K2600.
Some of the ROM options may also require an operating system update, as shown below. For
these, we recommend that you install the operating system files first.
For all the factory programs (both the standard factory programs numbered from 1 to 199 and
the factory programs for the options) to be available, you
must
reinstall the base objects,
followed by the objects for
all
of your options. For example, if you installed the Contemporary
ROM option last year, and you’ve just installed the Orchestral ROM option, you must install the
base objects file, then install the object files for the Contemporary option and the Orchestral
option—you can’t simply install the object files for the Orchestral option alone.
How to Interpret the Filenames
If you look at the table at the end of this document, you’ll see lists of filenames that look
something like this:
OBJKB300.K26
The name of each object file has four parts:
•
Prefix
: three or four characters that identify the type of the file. In our example above,
OBJK
identifies the file as an
obj
ect file for the
K
2600. Operating system files have the prefix
K26
.
•
Category
: identifies what kind of object file it is. The example at the top of this section
indicates a
b
ase objects file.
•
Version
: three digits that indicate the version of the object file. The version of the
example is
3
.
00
. Operating system files have a one-character suffix to the version,
identifying the two parts of the entire set of operating system data.
•
Extension
: three characters following a dot, and identifying the file type to the K2600. Object
files (including those containing programs, songs—all the objects you can save with the
K2600) have the extension
K26
. Operating system files have the extension
KOS
.
Throughout this document, we use
placeholders
to represent the version numbers in filenames.
Instead of using specific version numbers, we use
nnn
to represent any version of a file—as
expressed in the description of filename prefixes, above.
