the name table is highlighted, and press either the Left or Right cursor button (as if you were
ÒauditioningÓ the name table). You would then see the following:

The Name Table Contents list shows what would have been saved in the Þle had you answered
Yes to ÒSave dependent objects?Ó instead of answering by pressing Names. More importantly, it
allows you to see what objects need to be in the K2600Õs RAM before loading this Þle.
The object IDs shown in the table are the same numbers that those dependent objects used at the
time this Þle was saved. (The ID numbers are necessary in order for Relink-by-Name to
function, since they are the ÒlinkÓ between the higher level objects and the names of the
dependents.)
An important thing to notice about this particular name table is that the sample names are not
needed by the K2600 for relinking purposes. In fact, the only information necessary for relinking
the dependent objects of this Þle is the keymap object. The reason for this is that when this Þle
containing the program is loaded, all of these dependent objects should already have been
loaded, and the keymap should already be correctly linked to the samples. Although the
samplesÕ names are redundant from the K2600Õs point of view, they are included for free, so to
speak, and you may Þnd them very helpful if you ever need to know exactly what the
dependents of this Þle were intended to be.
The Name Table Contents list is scrollable if there are more than seven objects in the name table.
Now that the two Þles STWAVE1.K26 and STWAVE2.K26 have been created using the name
table, they can be reloaded and correctly relinked. The Þles can be loaded into any bankÑ they
do not need to go back into the bank they were originally inÑsince the STWAVE2.K26 Þle will
search through all the banks to Þnd the objects by name in order to relink them. In fact, if you
were to immediately reload just the Þle containing the program (STWAVE2.K26), into any bank,
you would Þnd that it was automatically relinked to the correct keymap, since the keymaps and
samples are currently in memory.
Furthermore, you could edit the program and create more variations of it that reference the
Steinwave Piano keymap, add ROM layers, and/or effects if desired, and resave all of the
programs (and any effects) to the same or a new Þle (remember to press Names when you are
asked ÒSave dependent objects?Ó) You never have to resave the Þle STWAVE1.K26 that contains
the keymap and samples, if all you have done is edited the programs or added more of them.
This can be a tremendous time-saver.
If the keymap and sample Þles are found on a CD-ROM disk, then using Relink-by-Name is not
only a time-saver, but a disk-space saver as well. If you like the samples and keymaps from a
CD-ROM Þle, there is no need to duplicate the sample data on your own writable hard disk.
Instead, all you have to do is save a program Þle in the above manner, and then make sure the
CD-ROM Þle is loaded Þrst before you load the program Þle.
If you needed to add some sample data to the Þle (for example, you want to add a root to the
keymap or process and reloop a sample from the CD-ROM), you can do this by explicitly
