Working with the Multiple Object Selector
The Multiple Object Selector can be helpful to avoid a lot of button presses and quickly allow
you select whatever group of items in the K2500 's RAM that you want. It is available in all of
the related object management functions.
You may notice that the cursor positions and parameter settings are remembered whenever
you exit the Multi Selector dialog, even if you exit the dialog and choose a different different
function. For instance, if you end up doing a lot of selecting of samples, or of dependents at
various levels, the parameters will stay set up the way you left them as you move from function
to function (i.e. from Copy to Delete to Save, etc.)
The "Select Dependents" mode is very useful not just for saving dependents, but also for
splitting up groups of objects for placing in different files. By using the optional settings for the
Specify parameter (All->Keymap, All->Program, Samples Only etc.), you can separate the
group of objects that you want to save at any level of the object tree that is necessary.
Examples of possible operations using Multiple Object Selector:
Select all the keymaps that are dependents of a block of programs.
•
Select all the samples starting from ID number 398.
•
Select all the objects that have "piano" in their object name.
•
Select the programs, setups, and effects that are dependents of song 200.
•
Select all of the keymaps and samples that are dependents of songs 400-410.
•
More Features of the Save Dialog
The Choose File Name Function
When entering in a file name for saving, there is a Choose soft button. This was briefly
mentioned earlier in the section "Creating Directories." When Choose is pressed from the file
naming dialog, the K2500 will access the current disk directory and display the following:
Dir:\||||||||||||Sel:0/10||||Index:|||1|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Choose|file|name:BOTTLE|||.KRZ|||||48K||
|||||||||||||||||CLAV|||||.KRZ|||1207K||
|||||||||||||||||REGGAE|||||||(dir)|||||
|Total:664K||||||STICK||||.KRZ||||550K||
||||||||Root||Parent|||||||||OK|||Cancel
The function of this dialog is to grab the text of any file name on the current disk, and either
use it as a starting point in the file naming dialog, or else use the chosen filename exactly. This
helps when replacing files on the disk (where the name must exactly match the file being
replaced), or adding files to the disk that have similar names or appended revision numbers.
You can save time by not having to type the entire file name in from the K2500's keypad.
The Open soft button is only visible in "Choose file name:" dialog when a subdirectory is
highlighted.
Traversing directories from the Choose function does not change the current default directory.
