There are a couple of things to notice here. The Þrst is a new choice in the bank list, speciÞed.
"Load this macro as speciÞed" means load all the Þles in the Macro following the exact
instructions for the bank and load mode for each Þle. All of the Þles were speciÞed to be loaded
into the 200's bank using Fill mode. If this is acceptable at the time you want to load the macro,
you can just press OK. Otherwise, you can override the bank and mode settings for the entire
Macro by choosing a different bank and mode before pressing OK (this is called rebanking the
Macro.)
The other thing noticeable about the above display is that the Macro and Insert buttons are still
available. This is because the Macro mode is still "Record". It is also perfectly acceptable to
load a Macro Þle "into a Macro". If you do this, then the K2vx will add all of the Macro Þle's
entries into the in-memory Macro list. Later on, you will see how loading a Macro Þle into the
in-memory Macro list is a convenient way to edit a Macro Þle or combine elements of several
Macro Þles into one Macro.
In this example, the in-memory Macro is still there - it didn't go away after saving the Macro Þle
(this only happens when you turn Macro Off, as described above.) Since Macro Record is still
enabled, loading in the SYNTH.MAC Þle will have the effect of adding a duplicate set of entries
into the in-memory Macro.
Whatever method of loading you choose (i.e., speciÞed in the Macro or overriding the Macro),
the K2vx will proceed to locate each Þle in the Macro in the exact order in which the entries
were listed when the Macro was saved. If the Þles were on different drives in your disk system,
you would be able to observe your various drives as they were selected in turn and Þles were
loaded from them.
If the K2vx cannot locate one of the Þles, you'll see a "Not Found" error message. If a drive
cannot be accessed (for instance, if the SCSI ID stored with the Macro entries in this example
was no longer the current SCSI ID of the drive), you will see the message "Problem mounting
disk.", to which you must press OK. If "ConÞrm" is set to "On" on the Master Mode Page,
loading will stop on the Þrst error message, giving you a chance to cancel the operation or keep
going. If you answer "yes" at this point, the operation will continue, even if the K2vx
encounters subsequent errors. If you run into a lot of errors due to loading an out of date Macro
Þle, the Macro process can be discontinued using a special procedure described later in the
section "Aborting a Macro Load."
When the Macro is done loading, you will see the screen:

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Macro|SYNTH.MAC|completed...||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The K2vx will then return to the Disk Mode page. You should now be able to go to Program
Mode, or the Save Objects display, and verify that all of the objects from the Þles of the Macro
are now in the K2vx's memory.
