Typically,youwilljustwanttousetheFillmethod.Append,Merge,andOverwrttryto
preservethenumbersstoredwith
theobjectsinthefile,butthisshouldonlyreallybenecessary
ifyoudependonprogramnumbersoreffectnumberstobeatacertainMIDIprogramchange

OverwrtandOvFilloperateindifferent
waysafteraselectedbankhasbeenfilledupforagiven
objecttype(forexample,afteryouhaveloadedmorethan128programsintoabank).Overwrt
willcontinuetopreservetheobjectIDsstoredinthefile,andwillindividuallyoverwriteobjects
inthebankfollowingthejustfilled
bank.OvFilldoesnotoverwritepasttheendoftheselected
bank;itinsteadskipsoverobjectIDsthatareinuse,loadingonlyintounusedIDs.Becauseof
thisdifference,itcansometimesbefastertoloadafileusingOvFillratherthanOverwrt.
However,thisappliesonlyif
theobjectstobeloadedwouldextendpasttheendofaselected
bank.
Notethatwhenloadingintoaspecificbank (asoppo sed toloadingas“Everything”),theobject
IDsinthefileareusedasfollows:The“bank”digitisignored,andtheremainderofthenumber
isused
whenthePC3KrebankstheobjectIDintothebankthatyouspecify.Forexample,ifyou
saveProgram453intoafile,andloaditbackintothe129...256bank,thePC3Kwillusethe
number69(itsbank‐specificIDinthe385...512bank)whendecidinguponanew
objectID.Ifthe 
129...256bankwaspreviouslyempty,andtheloadmodeisAppend,thentheprogramwillend
upwithID197(128+69).
Forloadingas“Everything,”theIDnumberforanobjectstoredinafileistakenliterally,and
notrebanked(exceptifFillor
OvFillmodeischosen).
Thefollowingexampleshowshoweachdifferentloadingmethodsaffecthowfourprograms
loadintoabankthatalreadycontainsprograms.
Example:StartingwiththefollowingobjectsalreadystoredinthePC3KinternalRAM:
SupposeyouweretoloadafilecontainingthefollowingobjectsintotheBase2
