There are two ways that you can select a directory in this dialog.
Pressing "Current" - This selects the directory you are currently in (whose Þle list you are
viewing), as speciÞed in the Dir: parameter on the top line of the display. For instance if you
wished to select the directory STRINGS using the "Current" button, you would Þrst press
"Open" to display the contents of that directory, and then press "Current". If you instead
wanted to choose the root directory, you would simply press "Current", since that is the
directory you are viewing (notice the Dir: \" at the top).
Pressing "SetDir " - This selects the directory you are scrolled to, such as STRINGS in the
display above. This method is often quicker and more convenient than pressing "Open"
followed by "Current," which does the same thing. The "SetDir" soft button is only present in
the display when the scrollbar highlights a directory entry.
Disk Mode Functions
Now that you are familiar with the basics of creating directories and moving around in the
K2vx Þle system, it is time to discuss some of the features provided in the disk functions
themselves.
Loading Files
The Load button instructs the K2vx to copy a Þle, from the currently selected device, to the
K2vxÕs RAM. Press the Load button, and a list of Þles stored in the currently selected device
will appear. Scroll through the list of Þles with the Alpha Wheel or Plus/Minus buttons, then
press
OK Ñor press Cancel to return to the Disk mode page.
When you press OK , the Bank dialog will appear, as described in "Load Function Dialog" on
page 13-18, and youÕll be asked to select the memory bank to load the Þle into. Scroll through
the list of banks with the Alpha Wheel or Plus/Minus buttons until the desired memory bank is
highlighted, then press
OK . Or press Cancel to back up a page and select another Þle to load.
Once you have selected a bank to which to load, you will be asked to choose a method for
loading. The method you choose determines how the objects in the Þle will be ordered when
loaded into the bank.
Loading Individual Objects
Since Þles can contain over 3000 objects, it is often useful to load only a subset of the
information contained in a K2vx Þle. Sometimes, this capability is necessary even to be able to
load certain Þles, if the size of the Þle's samples or data is greater than the K2vx's internal RAM
size (in case you haven't gotten those extra SIMMs or SIPPs yet).
You can select individual objects or groups of objects (i.e. Samples, Programs, Keymaps, Effects,
Songs) for loading from within a single K2vx Þle.
The Load Object feature is accessible from within the Load File dialog. To activate it, scroll the
Þle list until you have highlighted the Þle that you wish to load objects from:
