Kurzweil K2661 - Loading Selected Entries from a Macro File

13-52
Disk Mode
Macros
The K2661 remembers the setting of the Library parameter across power-cycles, via the battery
backed memory. Set up the Library disk once, and it stays that way until you change it.
The Modify Macro page is where you can edit macro entries to use the Library disk (in Disk
mode, press the Macro soft button, then the Modify soft button). See Editing
Macros on page 13-53 for more information.
Although the Unspecified and Library Disk IDs are meant to be used with distributable media
such as CD-ROMs and SmartMedia cards, these features will work with any supported disks.
Loading Selected Entries from a Macro File
It is possible to examine the contents of a macro file from any disk function page—the same way
you would open a .K26 file to check out what objects are stored in it—by highlighting the .MAC
file and pressing Open:
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
The K2661 will need to read the macro file into a temporary area of internal memory, which
means there needs to be enough free RAM to accommodate it. Press Open during the Load
function to enter a dialog similar to the MACRO page and the Save Macro page. This is called
LOAD MACRO page:
Func:LOAD|MACRO|||Sel:2/4||||Index:|||1|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|5:\ANALOG\MULTIVOX.K26||||||||200:F:|||
*5:\ANALOG\NOISE.K26|||||||||||200:F:|||
|5:\ANALOG\RESONANT.K26||||||||200:F:|||
*5:\ANALOG\SYNAPSE.K26|||||||||200:F:|||
Select|Check|||||||||All|||||OK||||Exit|
From the LOAD MACRO page, you can select one or more individual macro entries for loading,
instead of having to load the entire macro. This is done using the Select soft button, identical to
the method of saving macro entries. In fact, this dialog operates identically to the Save Macro
dialog, with one exception, the Check soft button.
The Check button will cross-check all of the macro entries in this opened macro file against the
current RAM Macro table, if there is one. Any entries in the opened macro file that are not in the
RAM Macro table will be selected when you press the Check button. The selected macro entries
can then be loaded by pressing OK. This can be helpful to avoid loading in duplicate files if
you...
1. Use Macro Record to keep a running history of files that you have already loaded into the
K2661.
