Editing Conventions
Saving and Naming
5-5
way, since you canÕt truly write to ROM. The ROM object will reappear if you delete the newly 
edited object (there are soft buttons in each editor for deleting objects).
RAM Objects
If the original object was a RAM object, the K2600 will assume you want to replace it, and will 
suggest the same ID as the original object (if it has an asteriskÑ*Ñbetween its ID and its name, 
itÕs a RAM object). As with ROM objects, you can cancel, replace, or change the ID and save to 
an unused ID. If you replace a RAM object, however, itÕs deÞnitely gone!
Keyboard Naming
The keyboard naming feature makes 
naming objects convenient (and 
musical!). With keyboard naming 
enabled, you can use the keyboard 
(or your MIDI controller) to enter 
the name of the object youÕre 
modifying.
There are three keyboard naming 
states: Off (disabled), On, and Adv 
(Advance). When set to On or Adv, 
the keys (MIDI note numbers, 
actually) correspond to all the 
characters shown on page 5-4. There 
are also equivalents to the cursor 
movement, insertion, deletion, and 
OK (Enter) buttons.
On requires you to move the cursor 
to enter each letter, just as you have 
to do when using the normal data 
entry methods for naming. Adv 
automatically moves the cursor one 
space to the right each time you 
strike a key, just like a typewriter or 
computer keyboard. This is the most 
convenient setting.
When youÕre in the Rename dialog, 
use either of the Chan/Bank buttons 
to change the keyboard naming 
state.
Keyboard naming works on the 
K2600R as well, as long as the 
LocalKbdCh parameter on the 
RECEIVE page in MIDI mode is set 
to the same channel as the one your 
MIDI controller is transmitting on.
