Soft Buttons In The Save Selection Dialog; Saving Individual Objects; Shortcuts When Saving Objects - Kurzweil PC3 Getting Started Manual

Saving Master and Everything Files
Among your choices in the Bank dialog are Master files and Everything files. Master files consist
primarily of the items on the Master-mode page and the three MIDI mode pages. They also
include information like marked pages, view settings, and MIDI channel and program
assignment. In fact, saving Master files (or dumping them via SysEx) is a good way to configure
your PC3 (or another PC3) to your performance or sequencing needs. For example, you might
save different Master files with every sequence you create using an external sequencer. Then,
when you load the Master file, you would have all the correct programs assigned to the
appropriate MIDI channels.
Everything files consist of the Master file parameters and every other RAM object. Saving an
Everything file will literally save everything in RAM, into a single file.

Soft Buttons in the Save Selection Dialog

The meaning of the soft buttons in the "Save selection" dialog is as follows:
Export
Object
NewDir
OK
Cancel

Saving Individual Objects

You can select any group of objects in the PC3's RAM for saving into a single file.To save
individual objects, from the above dialog, press Object.
The procedures for saving objects are essentially the same as the procedures described on
page 13-6 for loading objects.

Shortcuts when Saving Objects

Select All/Deselect All
Selecting or deselecting all of the objects at once can be done with the following double-presses
(two front-panel buttons simultaneously pressed):
• Left/Right cursor double-press: Select All Objects
• Up/Down cursor double-press: Clear All Selections
If you want to save most but not all of the items from a file (for example, if there are some songs
in RAM that you don't want to be saved in the file), it may be fastest to first select all objects
using the Left/Right double-press, and then manually deselect any unwanted items.
Viewing Selected Objects
When there are lots of objects selected, but they are scattered in the objects list, it can be helpful
to be able to view a list of only the currently selected objects. Do this by double-pressing the
Chan/Layer buttons.
Preliminary - Subject to Change
Save a song in an exported file format (that is, MIDI Type 0 or Type 1).
Save selected objects from the PC3's RAM.
Create a new directory on the current device, and return to this dialog afterwards.
