Auditioning Samples From A Disk File - Kurzweil K2661 Getting Started Manual

Loading Dependent Objects
When you press OK after selecting one or more objects, the K2661 will ask the following
question:
This dialog appears because one or more of the selected objects might have dependents
associated with them in the file. (Remember, dependents are those objects needed by other
objects; samples are dependents of keymaps, effects and keymaps are dependents of programs,
and so on.) When this dialog appears, it does not necessarily mean that there really are
dependents of the selected objects. The K2661 will not know whether there are dependent
objects in the file until it begins to read in the selected objects, and determines what their
dependents are.
Answering Yes to the question tells the K2661 to also load the dependents. You may wish to
answer No if, for example, you are simply loading a program or a keymap as a template for use
with other objects. You can also manually select only some of an object's dependents, and then
answer No to "Load dependent objects?" to prevent other unwanted dependents from being
loaded.
To summarize, it is not necessary to select any of the dependents of an object if you plan on
loading all of the dependents. As an example, for a file containing dozens of programs,
keymaps, and samples, you may choose to highlight a certain program and press OK, and
answer Yes to the "Load dependent objects?" question. The K2661 will do the rest, by only
loading the samples and keymaps that are needed by the selected program.
Similarly, if you selected certain keymaps from a file, and then answered Yes to "Load dependent
objects," the K2661 would figure out exactly what samples need to be loaded as dependents of
the selected keymaps.

Auditioning Samples from a Disk File

Often when working with files that contain samples it is helpful to be able to hear what the
samples sound like before loading all or part of the file. It is possible to audition samples in the
file, from within the Load Object dialog.
To audition a sample, first scroll to the sample that you wish to hear. Then, press either the Left
or Right cursor. The K2661 will load the sample (or 1 second of it if it's longer than a second).
The audition starts from the very beginning of the sample data (note that if the first second of
data is silence then you won't hear very much when the sample is auditioned). If the loop points
fall within the first second of the stored sample data, they will be loaded as well. The K2661
display will blink after the completion of loading the sample audition data. When the sample
segment has been loaded, it can then be played back at its root key as well as transposed up and
down the keyboard.
Once a sample has been auditioned, it remains active across the keyboard until another sample
is auditioned. The audition function ends when either OK or Cancel are pressed.
