Pressing the Load button gives you the choice of loading either all of the files in the Macro table
or loading only the files that are selected:
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Load|selected|items|or|all|items?|||||||
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|||||||||||||||||||||All|Selected|Cancel
If you don’t have any items explicitly selected (with an asterisk), the message you see when you
press Load is slightly different:
Load|current|item||or|all|items?|||||||
The current item is the file that was highlighted on the MACRO page.
The files that have been selected for loading will be loaded in their respective order in the Macro
table, using the bank and mode parameters that are specified in the list. In the example diagram
above, if you were to load selected items, first \PIANO.K26 would be loaded into the 300s bank,
and then \NOISE.AIF would be loaded into the 500s bank.
Saving and Loading a Macro Table in a .K26 file
Macro table objects can be explicitly saved or loaded (without being “executed”) using Save
Individual Object and Load Individual Object. If for some reason you wanted to save a Macro
table that you’ve been working on, and then be able to load it again later on to be worked on
some more, you would use this method. The Macro table can be selected for saving and loading
just like any other object. When you load a Macro table using Load Individual Object, it will
overwrite any Macro table already in memory. Once it is loaded, you may have to go to the
MACRO page and enable Macro Record mode to continue to record further load operations into
the macro.
The “Save Everything” feature of the Save dialog does not include the Macro table. This is done
to prevent inadvertent distribution of what would most likely be a meaningless Macro table to
other users.
Aborting a Macro Load
You can abort the process of loading a macro file. Aborting can only be done “in between” files
that are being loaded, and not during the load of any one file (short of powering off or doing a
soft reset—but we don’t recommend this).
Aborting a macro load is done by pressing and holding down either of the Plus or Minus
buttons. This should be done at least one-half second before you anticipate the current file to
finish loading, or else the K2661 will not sense that you wish to abort the load.
