Object Utilities
Object Utility functions are useful for moving or copying objects into various banks, naming or
renaming objects, deleting objects, and dumping objects over MIDI. To access these functions,
press the Object soft button while in Master mode. You will see the following dialog:
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Select|database|function:|||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|Move|||Copy|||Name||Delete|Dump|||Done|
The soft buttons are used to choose the various object utility functions.
Move Move selected objects to a new bank or a specic starting ID.
Copy Copy selected objects to a new bank or a specic starting ID.
Name Name selected objects.
Delete Delete selected objects.
Dump Dump selected objects over MIDI.
Done Exit from the object utilities.
Each function’s multiple object selection interface is identical to the one used in the Save Objects
dialog. For a complete description of this interface, see Saving Individual Objects on page 13-25.
Here is what the Move page would look like (with several objects selected):

Select||Next|||Type||Multi|||OK|||Cancel
The name of the function is displayed on the top line:
Func:MOVE|
If you press Cancel while in one of the object utilities, you return to the Object Utilities page (the
“Select database function:” dialog pictured above). Any objects that were selected when you
pressed Cancel will still be selected if you subsequently enter a different object utility (by
pressing a different soft button such as Name, for example). The selections are reset when you
exit the Object Utilities page (by pressing the Done button).
