Macros
There are a couple of things to notice here. The Þrst is a new choice in the bank list: speciÞed.
ÒLoad this macro as speciÞedÓ means load all the Þles in the macro following the exact
instructions for the bank and load mode for each Þle. In our example, all the Þles were speciÞed
to be loaded into the 200s bank using Fill mode. If this is acceptable at the time you want to load
the macro, you can just press OK. Otherwise, you can override the bank and mode settings for
the entire macro by choosing a different bank and mode before pressing OK (this is called
rebanking the macro).
The other thing noticeable about the above display is that the Macro and Insert buttons are still
available, because the Macro mode is still Record. This means that when you load the macro, it
gets added to the RAM Macro table. But itÕs not the Þlename (SYNTH.MAC) that gets added, as
is the case with .K26 Þles. Instead, every macro entry in the ÞleÕs Macro table gets loaded into the
RAM Macro table. This is a convenient way to edit a macro Þle or combine elements of several
macro Þles into one macro. See Editing Macros on page 13-54.
In our example, since weÕre in Macro Record mode, pressing Macro would add the macro ÞleÕs
entries into the RAM Macro table. Pressing OK would add the macro ÞleÕs entries into the RAM
Macro table, and would load the corresponding Þles into RAM. Since we added the Þles listed in
the macro to the RAM Macro table when we recorded the macro, the RAM Macro table now
includes a duplicate set of entries.
Whatever method of loading you choose (that is, speciÞed in the macro or overriding the
macro), the K2600 locates each Þle in the macro in the exact order in which the entries are listed.
If the Þles are on different disks in your disk system, you can observe your various disks as
theyÕre selected in turn and Þles are loaded from them.
If the K2600 cannot locate one of the Þles, youÕll see a ÒNot FoundÓ error message. If a disk
cannot be accessed (for example, if the SCSI ID stored with the macro entries in this example is
no longer the current SCSI ID of the disk), you will see the message ÒProblem mounting disk,Ó
to which you must press OK. If ConÞrm is set to On on the Master-mode page, loading will stop
on the Þrst error message, giving you a chance to cancel the operation or keep going. If you
answer Yes at this point, the operation will continue, even if the K2600 encounters subsequent
errors. If you run into a lot of errors due to loading an out-of-date macro Þle, the macro process
can be discontinued using a special procedure described later in the section called Aborting a
Macro Load. (page 13-59).
When the macro is done loading, youÕll see this display:
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Macro|SYNTH.MAC|completed...||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The K2600 returns to the Disk-mode page. You should now be able to go to the Save dialog, or
Program mode, and verify that all of the objects from the Þles of the macro are now in the
K2600Õs memory.
