Disk Mode
Macros
should be able to load the correct sequences of Þles just by loading a Macro, without those
nasty SCSI ID conßicts.
A macro of this type would Þrst load the CD-ROM Þles containing samples and keymaps (off
the "Library" disk), and then load in Þles from the Floppy disk . The program Þles from the
ßoppy should correctly link up to the pre-loaded keymaps and samples via the Relink-by-
Name mechanism.
In order for the Þles in the Macro with a Library drive ID to be found, the user of the Macro
must have already set up their Library parameter to be the SCSI ID of their CD-ROM drive.
In the following picture, notice that the Library parameter has been set to SCSI 3.
DiskMode||||Samples:10022K||Memory:|42K|
Path|=|\||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(Macro|on)||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
CurrentDisk:Floppy||||||||Startup:Off|||
||||||||||||||||||||||||||Library:SCSI|3
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
<more|||Load|||Save||Macro||Delete|more>
Assuming SCSI 3 is the user's CD-ROM drive, the user is now prepared to load a Macro Þle
from on a ßoppy disk that contains the following entries:
L:\PIANO4MB.KRZ||||||||||||||||200:F:Obj
F:\PNOPROGS.KRZ||||||||||||||||200:F:|||
When the above Macro entries are loaded, the Þle \PIANO4MB.KRZ will be looked for on the
drive with address SCSI 3, since this is what the Library parameter on the Disk Mode page has
been set to. If the correct CD-ROM has been placed in the drive, the K2vx will load the Þle, and
then continue and load \PNOPROGS.KRZ from the ßoppy disk.
If the K2vx executes the above Macro, but the Library parameter has not been set (is set to Off)
an error message
Library|has|not|been|set
will be displayed when the Macro process attempts to load \PIANO4MB.KRZ.
The above example is a typical case where the Relink-by-Name feature is used to have one Þle
containing programs depend on another Þle containing samples and keymaps, yet the Þles are
on different drives. The CD-ROM in the example might just as well have been an Akai or
Roland format, and the Þle from the ßoppy would contain the latest custom K2vx programs
making good use of the imported data.
The Library parameter is remembered by the K2vx across power-cycles, via the battery backed
memory. This means that if you use this feature to load Macros you only have to set it up once.
Setting Macro entries to have a Library drive ID is done from the Modify Macro page (press
DISK->Macro->Modify), described later in this section.
Although the UnspeciÞed and Library drive IDs are meant to be used with distributable media
such as CD-ROMs and ßoppy disks, these features will work with any supported disk drives.
