using Fill mode. “Obj” means that individual objects within the file are selected for loading, and
only those objects will be loaded from this file.
Using the Bank and Mode Fields
The bank and mode fields in a macro entry are relevant only if a macro file is loaded as specified.
This means that each file listed in the macro will be loaded exactly as the bank and mode fields
of the macro entry dictate. You can override the macro entry’s settings during the Load
operation, and specify a different bank and mode for the entire macro (you can’t specify
overrides for individual entries).
Depending on you working style, you may not have much use for the settings of the bank and
mode fields. If you’re always loading things into different banks depending on the situation,
you’ll probably change the bank and mode each time you load anyway, so the bank and mode
fields in the macro entries won’t matter much to you.
The bank and mode fields are more important when you want to use macros to fill the K2661’s
memory banks a particular way, and you want to be able to do it automatically and consistently.
Disk ID Specifies the disk from which to load. There are ten possible values:
The numbers 0–7 represent SCSI 0 through SCSI 7.
The letter F represents SmartMedia.
The letter U means Unspecified disk ID (see page 13-50).
The letter L means the Library disk (see page 13-51).
Directory path/
filename
This is the directory path and the filename of the file on the disk to be loaded by
this macro entry. The display can show up to 28 characters of this name, although
the RAM Macro table stores the entire path and filename.
Bank The bank where you want to load the file. This will have a value from 0 through
900 (by 100s), or the letter E for Everything (all banks).
Mode The mode specified for loading the file. The following one-letter codes are shown
in the display:
O means Overwrite mode (Overwrt)
V means OverFill mode (OvFill)
M means Merge mode
A means Append mode
F means Fill mode
This field is to the right of the bank field, after a colon.
Object indicator When this field is empty, the entire file gets loaded. If “Obj” appears in this field,
the K2661 loads only those objects that were selected for loading during the
recording of the macro.
If the entry represents a file on a third-party SCSI-format disk such as Akai or
Roland, this field indicates the manufacturer:
Aka means Akai format
Rol means Roland format
Ensoniq format disks are not currently supported in macros.
