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 K2661. 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.
 
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: 
OBJEP101.K26
 
The name of each object file has four parts:
•
Prefix
:  identifies the type of the file. In our example above, 
OBJ
 identifies the file as an 
obj
ect file for the 
K2661
. Operating system files have the prefix 
2661S
.
•
Category
: identifies what kind of object file it is. The example at the top of this section 
indicates a Vintage Electric Pianos objects file.
•
Version
: three digits that indicate the version of the object file. The version of the 
example is 
1
.
01
.
•
Extension
: three characters following a dot, and identifying the file type to the K2661. Object 
files (including those containing programs, songs—all the objects you can save with the 
K2661) 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.
 
Organizing the Object Files
The table beginning on page 8 lists all the possible combinations of options, and the 
corresponding object files to install for each combination of options. To determine which files 
you need to install, go to the table and look in the “Option name” (first) column. Find the entry 
that matches the options that you now have in your instrument (that is, after installing any new 
options). Then look in the second column to find the object files that you’ll need to install. 
For example, if you have the sampling option, the SD Piano option, and have just installed the 
Vintage EP option, you’ll need to install the base-objects file, the SD Piano, Vintage EP, and Live 
mode object files (the Live mode object file is for the sampling option). The third column of the 
table gives the names of the object files as they appear in the K2661 display.
Note
: If you are installing from a partitioned disk drive, all of the files need to be in the first 
partition (that’s the only partition visible to the Boot Loader).
Refer to Table 1 while installing object files, checking off each file as you install it.
