Kurzweil K2500 - PERFORMANCE GUIDE REV F PART NUMBER 910251 CHAP 13 Manual page 5

If you press the Load button and load in a file from a subdirectory called SOUNDS, the Path
field will appear as
Path|=|\SOUNDS\
The slash character is also used as a directory separator, as in the following Path:
Path|=|\NEWTUNE\SAMPLES\DOGS\
This represents the subdirectory DOGS, that is located in the SAMPLES subdirectory of the
NEWTUNE directory in the root directory. If the path is to long to fit on the top line of the
screen, its display may be abbreviated. The maximum length of a path in the K2500 is 64
characters (including '\' characters).
Startup
The Startup parameter determines what disk drive will be used for loading the power-up
macro file BOOT.MAC (See "Creating a Startup File," page 13-65). If this is set to None, then the
K2500 will power-up in a normal fashion. If this is set to a SCSI device or Floppy, when the
K2500 is next powered on it will look for the BOOT.MAC file in the root directory of the
specified disk, and load in each of the entries in the macro specified within.
This feature provides a very flexible way to automatically configure your K2500's memory
contents whenever you turn the power on.
Library
This feature works in conjunction with the Macro feature to provide a way to distribute Macro
files that load data from removable media without having to know in advance the SCSI ID of
the removable drive. A Macro file stores its references to drives by drive ID (SCSI ID or
Floppy), or by either a "Library" or "Unspecified" designation (see the section on Macro files,
page 13-38.) Typically, you would set the Library parameter to be the same as the SCSI ID of
your CD-ROM drive, if you were loading Macro files from a Floppy disk or another SCSI drive
that referenced CD-ROM files containing samples or keymaps.
Use of the Library feature is described in more detail later on in this guide.
Disk Drive Information
Below the media type and disk capacity is displayed specific information about the current
disk's manufacturer, model number and internal mechanism. The K2500 requests this
information from a SCSI drive when the drive is selected by setting the Current Disk
parameter. This information may be needed when determining if a given drive is compatible
for SCSI operation with the K2500.
