Macro Entries

Each Þle-loading operation that is recorded into the Macro table is called a macro entry.Each
macro entry stores information about how a disk Þle should be loaded. Each entry is displayed
as a single item in a scrollable list on the MACRO page, with various Þelds indicating the
parameters of the entry. The following diagram shows how the MACRO page might look once
four Þles have been recorded into the RAM Macro table:
Func:MACRO|[Record]||||||||||Index:|||1|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

|3:\DRUMS\REALKITS.K26|||||||||200:F:Obj
|3:\BASSES\WALKING.K26|||||||||200:F:|||
|3:\KEYS\CHROMA12.K26||||||||||200:F:|||
|F:\SONG42.K26|||||||||||||||||200:F:|||

Table 13-4 describes the information stored in a macro entry. The highlighted entry in the
diagram above indicates a Þle on a disk with a SCSI ID of 3. This Þle is stored in a directory
called DRUMS. The Þlename is REALKITS.K26. The K2600 will load it into the 200s bank,
using Fill mode. ÒObjÓ means that individual objects within the Þle are selected for loading, and
only those objects will be loaded from this Þle.

Table 13-4
13-50
Specifies the disk from which to load. There are ten possible values:
The numbers 0–7 represent SCSI 0 through SCSI 7.
The letter F represents the Floppy drive.
The letter U means Unspecified disk ID (see page 13-51).
The letter L means the Library disk (see page 13-52).
This is the directory path and the filename of the file on the disk to be loaded by
this macro entry. The display can show up to 28 characters of this name, although
the RAM Macro table stores the entire path and filename.
The bank where you want to load the file. This will have a value from 0 through
900 (by 100s), or the letter E for Everything (all banks).
The mode specified for loading the file. The following one-letter codes are shown
in the display:
O means Overwrite mode (Overwrt)
V means OverFill mode (OvFill)
M means Merge mode
A means Append mode
F means Fill mode
This field is to the right of the bank field, after a colon.
When this field is empty, the entire file gets loaded. If "Obj" appears in this field,
the K2600 loads only those objects that were selected for loading during the
recording of the macro.
If the entry represents a file on a third-party SCSI-format disk such as Akai or
Roland, this field indicates the manufacturer:
Aka means Akai format
Rol means Roland format
Ensoniq format disks are not currently supported in macros.
