FILE (Storage Page)
Fill
Pressing the Storage Page Load FILL soft button will show the "Fill from ID" dialog. When
you select a saved object file to load, "Fill from ID" allows you to choose the ID number at
which you would like to begin loading objects. This allows you to load user objects to specific
IDs, instead of always loading from the unused IDs starting at ID 4096. This can be useful
for organizing user objects in specific ID ranges.
Overwrite and Merge
When the OVWRITE soft button is pressed, you are given the option to load objects using
the Overwrite or Merge method. Selecting Overwrite first deletes all the existing user objects,
and then loads the new user objects using the object ID numbers stored in the file. Selecting
Merge will load the new user objects using the object ID numbers stored in the file, only
deleting existing objects which use the same ID numbers. Existing user objects that use other
IDs will not be deleted.
Loading Individual Objects From a .K27 or Compatible File Type
Since a .K27 file can contain thousands of objects, it is often useful to load only some of the
objects contained in a file. You can select individual objects or groups of objects (Programs,
Multis, etc) for loading from within a single .K27, .PC4, .SP6, .FSE, .FOR, .ASE, .ART,
.P3A, .PC3, .P3K, .PLE, .SPX, K26, .K25, or .KRZ file.
To load individual objects, use the LOAD page to highlight a compatible file type, then
press the OPEN soft button to view a list of objects within the file. The objects in the list are
grouped by type (Programs, Multis, etc.). Scroll through the list using the alpha wheel, cursor
buttons, or Previous/Next buttons. Each line in the list represents one object, and displays
the object's number in the list, as well as the object's type, original ID number, and name.
Press the SELECT soft button to select or deselect the highlighted object for loading.
Multiple objects can be selected. An asterisk (*) is placed to the left of selected objects.
Press the FILL soft button to load the selected objects, or press the CANCEL soft button to
return to the file list dialog.
Loading Compatible Object File Types
Aside from loading objects from its own .K27 files, the K2700 can load sounds and objects
from other instruments with the following file types: .PC4, .SP6, .FSE, .FOR, .ASE, .ART,
.P3A, .PC3, .P3K, .PLE, .SPX, .K26, .K25, .KRZ, and .SYX.
In some cases object parameters may need to be edited by the user after loading. See each
object file section below for details when loading file types other than .K27.
Objects from most of the recent Kurzweil models should sound and function exactly the
same as on the original instruments (except in cases where unavailable physical controllers
change the sound or function). Objects from older legacy Kurzweil instruments can often
sound and function very closely or exactly the same as on the original instruments.
