The Multiple Object Selector Page

For this type of situation, where you may be working on songs always using a consistent set of
programs, it is beneficial to make a macro file that can be loaded in one step to direct all of the
various program files to be loaded in. After that, any time you load in a song file containing a
name table referencing these programs, the songs should get relinked to the correct programs.
If you happen to have multiple copies of the necessary programs already loaded into different
banks, you can control which bank of programs will be linked to the songs by choosing a certain
bank to load the song file into. The relinked programs will be the first set encountered according
to the Relink-by-Name search algorithm defined above.

Not Loading the Name Table

There may be a time that you wish to load in objects from a file containing a name table, but you
don't want the K2000 to relink any dependent objects according to the name table. This can be
accomplished by "opening" the file from the Load function, and selecting any desired objects
from within the file, except the name table. The selected objects will be loaded in to the bank you
specify, however the Relink-by-Name mechanism will not function.

Relink-by-Name Processing Time

Normally, the time taken to relink several dependent objects using the name search will be
insignificant, relative to the time it takes to load in the data from the file. However, if you are
attempting to relink a very large amount of dependents by loading one file (say, 200 samples or
so), there may be a noticeable wait while the K2000 searches its object database for the
dependents. If this happens, it's best to be patient.
The Multiple Object Selector Page
The Multiple Object Selector is used for making multiple selections of objects from an object list
according to combinations of selection modes such as object type, object ID, and dependencies.
This page is available for use in the Load Object dialog, the Save Object dialog, and all of the
object utilities (Move, Copy, Name, Delete, and Dump Objects.)
The Multiple Object Selector page is entered by pressing the Multi soft button when in the
dialog pages for the above functions. This page contains parameters to define a group of objects
cross-referenced by object type and object ID. Objects can be grouped according to the
dependencies of one or more objects, for all of the object functions except Load Object. (As
described previously, the LoadObject function can not determine exact object dependency
relationships until the objects are actually being loaded into the K2000. The other object
functions operate on lists of the objects currently stored in the K2000's RAM, and because of this,
dependent relationships are available to be used as selection criteria.)
This is what is displayed by the K2000 when the Multi button is first pressed:
