The Multiple Object Selector Page

The Multiple Object Selector gives you several ways to select multiple objects for various
operations—for example, to load all setups with IDs between 250 and 299, to save all programs
in the 400s bank, including their dependent RAM keymaps (but not their dependent RAM
samples), or to delete all samples whose name includes "Gazonk."
The Multiple Object Selector is available in two places:
• In Disk mode, in the Load and Save dialogs
• In Master mode, on the Object Utility pages—Move, Copy, Name, Delete, and Dump (see
page 11-15)
Each of these dialogs and utility pages has a Multi soft button. Pressing it takes you to the
Multiple Object Selector.

the operating mode. There are four values:

Copy, Name, Delete, or Dump. You'll see a list of objects that you can scroll through with
the Alpha Wheel. (If you're in Disk mode and loading objects, you'll need to navigate
through the directories and open a file before you'll see the list and the Multi button.) This
list of objects—conveniently called the object list—is what the Multiple Object Selector
searches through.

and names of the selected objects.
Restricts the selection range to a particular object type (like programs or
samples), and lets you specify a range of IDs (like 1–100).
Restricts the selection range to objects that are dependents of whatever
