When (Macro on) is visible, the K2661 records all file-loading operations in its macro table. See
the Musician’s Guide.
Disk Mode Soft Buttons
Here is a brief description of each of Disk mode’s soft button:
Load Load selected file(s) or object(s) from the current disk into K2661 memory.
Save Save banks of objects, selected objects, or a macro as a K2661 file on the current disk.
Macro Display the macro function page, where you can create and edit macros.
Delete Delete files from the current disk if it is a K2661 disk.
Rename Change the filename of a file on a K2661 disk.
Move Change the location of a file from one directory to another (on the same disk).
Util Check the free space, find files, and view directory organization and sizes on the
current disk.
NewDir Create a new directory on K2661 disks.
Backup Hierarchical file backup between disks.
Copy Single or multiple file copy between disks.
Sleep Send SCSI sleep command to the current disk. See the discussion below.
Format Format the current disk as a K2661 disk.
The Sleep Soft Button
Many SCSI devices will “sleep” when they’ve been idle for a few minutes. In other words, the
disk will stop spinning, in order to save power and reduce wear. The K2661 lets you tell your
SCSI devices to sleep. Just press the Sleep soft button, and if your devices have this feature, they
will sleep. This is particularly useful in a quiet studio situation.
Any Disk-mode operation will “wake” the device again. The K2661 will ask you to wait while
the device’s disk starts spinning. As soon as the disk is spinning at full speed, the K2661 will
execute the operation you selected. Some SCSI devices automatically sleep when they power up.
(A device of this type usually provides a way to override this feature; check its manual.) Any
Disk-mode operation will wake a disk in this case, as well.
