Loading Individual Objects From a .P3K Or Compatible File Type
Sincea.P3Kfilecancontainover3000objects,itisoftenusefultoloadonlyasubsetofthe
informationcontainedinafile.Youcanselectindividualobjectsorgroupsofobjects(programs,
effects,songs)forloadingfromwithinasingle.P3K,.PC3,.K26,.K25or.KRZfile(see

PressOpentobegintheLoadObjectdialog.ThePC3Kthenscansthefilecontentsinorder
to
presentalistofalloftheobjectsinthefile.Sometimesthisprocedurecantakeafewmoments,
dependingonhowmanyobjectsareinthefile.
Theobjectsinthelistareusuallygroupedbytype(program,setup,etc.).Thelistcanbescrolled
usingtheAlphawheel
ortheUporDowncursors.Eachlineinthescrollablelistrepresentsone
object,anddisplaystheobject’stype,ID,andname.TheIDnumbersarethesamenumbersthat
wereusedtoreferencetheobjectswhenthefilewaslastsavedbythePC3K.Thesenumberswill
usually
bedifferentaftertheobjectsareloaded,dependinguponthebank(forexample,
128...255)andmodethatisspecifiedforloading.
Aswiththefilelist,enteringinanumberfromthealphan umericbuttonpadwilljumptothe

Thesoftbuttonsonthispageareusedformultipleselectionoftheobjectsinthelistaswellasfor
movingaroundthelistwhentherearemanyitemsselectedorlisted.Thissamedialogisalso
usedformanyotherfunctionsinthePC3K,
namelyforsavingselectedobjectsandforseveral
objectutilityfunctionsthataredescribedlater.
Hereisabriefdescriptionofeachbutton’sfunction:
Select Selectordeselectanobject.
Next Jumptothenextselectedobject.
