Aborting a Macro Load

You can abort the process of loading a macro Þle. Aborting can only be done Òin betweenÓ Þles
that are being loaded, and not during the load of any one Þle (short of powering off or doing a
soft resetÑbut we donÕt recommend this).
Aborting a macro load is done by pressing and holding down either of the Plus or Minus
buttons. This should be done at least one-half second before you anticipate the current Þle to
Þnish loading, or else the K2600 will not sense that you wish to abort the load.
You will see the following question after the current Þle Þnishes loading:
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Abort|the|macro?||||||||||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||Yes||||No||
It may be a good idea to practice using this method of aborting a macro Þle load, so that when
you accidentally load an out-of-date macro Þle with 25 entries all at the wrong SCSI ID, youÕll
remember how to abort the process. This same method (of holding the Plus or Minus buttons
down) is also used to abort the Backup feature and the multiple Þle load feature.
If you run out of object or sample RAM, you will have one opportunity to abort the macro as
explained above. However, if you continue from that point you may end up seeing the same
error message ÒMemory is fullÓ for each Þle to be loaded. This can be a rather tedious process,
however it is still possible to abort out of this by holding down the Plus or Minus button
simultaneously while pressing Yes when you see the following question:
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Abort|this|partial|load?||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||Yes||||No||
If the macro that you abort was loaded by multiple selection together with other Þles, you will
have to abort twice, once to get out of the current macro Þle load, and a second time to get out of
the multiple Þle load process.
