Roland; Eps - Kurzweil K2661 Musician's Manual

The Bank dialog will appear, enabling you to select the bank that will receive the volume. Press
OK again, and you'll be prompted to press either the Progs soft button, which will load program
information in addition to the samples, or the Samps soft button, which will load only the
sample information. Programs are identified by the extension .p, and are stored in program
RAM. Samples have the extension .s, and are stored in sample RAM. You can press Cancel to
return to the Disk-mode page without loading the volume.
If you load sample objects, you'll see the following prompt: Create preview program/keymap?
If you answer Yes, the K2661 will load the samples into a program that it creates based on Layer
1 of Program 199. Loading program objects will load multi-layer samples and keymaps, and
sometimes velocity switches. The K2661 will create layers as necessary when you load program
objects. These layers have the same settings as Layer 1 of Program 199. In some cases, the K2661
will also create stereo keymaps to preserve the separation of stereo samples.
If you press the File button, the prompt will change to the Load dialog. You can view the list of
files with the cursor buttons, or use numeric entry. The top line of the display will show the
currently selected volume. Select different volumes with the Layer buttons. The size of the
currently selected file, in kilobytes, is shown just above the soft buttons on the left. Press the OK
button to load the highlighted file.
Press OK, and the Bank dialog will appear. Press OK again, and the file will be loaded into the
highlighted bank.

Roland

For Roland disks, the hierarchy is a bit different; the objects that can be loaded are called
volumes, performances, patches, and samples. The page that was selected last time a SCSI load
was executed will appear when you initiate the load operation. Following the prompt is the list
of available objects, with the size of the object in kilobytes displayed as well. The top line of the
display will show the number of available objects of the selected type.
Use the soft buttons to highlight the object to be loaded. The layer buttons will take you through
the current object list in increments of 100. Press OK to execute the load. The Bank dialog will
appear. Press OK again, and the object will be loaded. The display will update you on the
progress of the load.

EPS

For EPS disks, the hierarchy consists of files and directories. Directories can be nested several
layers deep. When you press the Load soft button, you'll be prompted to select a file or directory
to load from the list of available files and directories. The currently highlighted object will be
either a file or a directory. If it's a file, its name and size will be shown following the prompt. If
it's a directory, its name appears, followed by (dir) to indicate its type. The Layer buttons will
take you to the first and last files of the currently selected directory.
When a file is highlighted and you press OK, the Bank dialog appears; press OK again to load
the file. When a directory is highlighted and you press OK, you enter that directory, and the list
of files and subdirectories in that directory appears, each file followed by its size, and each
subdirectory, if any, followed by (dir). The top item in every list you select is always the parent
directory of the files below it. Select the top item in a list to go up one directory level.
Pressing the Exit soft button will take you one level back up the hierarchy. Pressing it repeatedly
will take you to the root directory—the directory at the top of the hierarchy. The quickest way to
the root directory is to press the Root soft button. The top line of the display shows you the
name of the currently selected directory (or subdirectory). Pressing the All soft button will load
all files in the current directory (but not any subdirectories). The Bank dialog will appear, and
when you press OK, you'll be prompted to press the Progs button to load program information
in addition to the samples, or the Samps button to load only the samples.
