Viewing The Object List For A Macro Entry; The Library Disk - Kurzweil K2000 - GUIDE SUPPLEMENT - VERSION 3 Musician’s Manual Supplement

Viewing the Object List for a Macro Entry

If a macro entry contains an object list, it can be examined by scrolling the macro list display
until the item with the Obj indicator is highlighted, and then by pressing either the Left or Right
cursor button on the front panel. You will see a display that looks like this:
Macro|Object|List|||(load|dependents)|||
Program|210|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Program|211|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Program|212|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Program|213|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||OK|
• Left or Right cursor button: Displays macro entry object list
The Macro Object List display, a scrollable list, shows what objects are to be loaded from the file
specified in the currently indexed macro entry. You will not see the names of the objects in this
display, because they are not stored in the macro table. The objects are referenced only by object
type and object ID. The
also load all dependents of the objects in this list.
If you need to know the names of objects in a macro entry object list, it is possible to begin a disk
function (such as Load), find the file specified in the macro entry, press Open to display the file's
objects, and look up what the objects are, using the information in this display.
Unspecified Disk Drive ID
Before the time a macro file is saved to disk, you can specify that a file's location will not be tied
to a specific SCSI ID number. Instead, the file should be loaded from the same drive that
contains the macro file itself. This is called the Unspecified drive ID, since the actual ID is not
known until the time of loading the macro.
The Unspecified drive ID will typically be used by people who distribute K2000 sound files and
macro files on removable disk media such as CD-ROMs or Magneto-Optical Cartridges. This
feature makes it possible to avoid specifying the exact SCSI ID used in a macro file that is to be
loaded on someone else's disk drive, since there is no way to predict the SCSI ID of the drive in
advance.
Another use would be, if you are consistently working with macro files that load mostly files
from the same drive, then if you set the macro's drive IDs to Unspecified you won't have to edit
your macro files if you happen to change the drive's SCSI ID.
Setting macro entries to have an Unspecified drive ID is done from the Modify Macro page
(press Disk->Macro->Modify), described later in this section.

The Library Disk

If a macro entry is set to the Library drive ID, it means that the file to be loaded should be found
on the drive at the SCSI ID set by the Library parameter on the Disk mode page. This
designation is similar in purpose to the Unspecified drive ID, because it is a way to avoid
needing to hard-wire the SCSI ID in advance. The Library drive ID is intended to be used in
