Viewing the Name Table

The name table is an object that appears in files that were created using the "Save dependents by
name" feature (see The Name Table on page 4-25). This object contains a list of dependent objects
needed by the other objects in the file at the time the file was saved. There is more information
about this later on, however it is worth mentioning here that a highlighted name table's contents
can be viewed by pressing either one of the Left or Right cursor buttons.
• Left cursor OR Right cursor: View name table contents

Loading Dependents of Selected Objects

When you press OK after selecting one or more objects, the K2000 may ask the question:
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Load|dependent|objects?|||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||Yes||||No||
This question will be asked if any of the selected objects could possibly have dependents
associated with them in the file. (Remember, dependents are those objects needed by other
objects;—samples are dependents of keymaps; effects and keymaps are dependents of
programs; and so on.) If this question is asked it does not necessarily mean that there really are
dependents of the selected objects. The K2000 will not know whether there are dependent
objects in the file until it begins to read in the selected objects, and determines what their
dependents are.
Answering Yes to the question tells the K2000 to also load the dependents. You may wish to
answer No if, for instance, you are simply loading in a program or a Keymap as a template for
use with other objects. You can also manually select only some of an object's dependents, and
then answer No to the
dependents from being loaded.
To summarize, it is not necessary to select any of the dependents of an object if you plan on
loading all of the dependents in. As an example, for a file containing dozens of programs,
keymaps, and samples, you may choose to highlight a certain program and press OK, and
answer Yes to the
loading in the samples and keymaps that are needed by the selected program.
Similarly, if you were only to select certain keymaps from a file, and then answered Yes to

loaded in as dependents of the selected keymaps.

Auditioning Samples from a Disk File

Often when working with files that contain samples it is helpful to be able to hear what the
samples sound like before loading in all or part of the file. In Version 3 it is possible to audition
samples in the file, from within the Load Object dialog.
To audition a sample, first scroll to the sample that you wish to hear. Then press either the Left
or Right cursor. The K2000 will load in up to one second of the sample, or less if the total sample
time is shorter than one second. The audition starts from the very beginning of the sample data
