Basic Disk Mode
The Multiple Object Selector Page
Dependents Mode
This mode is used to select a group of objects that are dependents of other objects. This is not
available when loading objects in Disk mode.
Everything Mode
Everything includes all objects in the list. You may prefer to use the All button for this purpose.
Search String (SearchStrg) Mode
This selection mode will ask for a search string to be entered, as soon as you press either the
Toggle, Clear, or Set button. The range for the selection/deselection will be any objects whose
names contain the search string, ignoring upper/lower case. As soon as you press the OK button
after entering a search string, the K2661 executes the toggle, clear, or set command that you
specied at the beginning of the search operation. SearchStrg mode is not available when
loading objects.
Working with the Multiple Object Selector
The Multiple Object Selector minimizes button presses and quickly allows you to select
whatever group of items you want from the K2661’s RAM. It’s available for all of the related
object management functions.
You may notice that the cursor positions and parameter settings are remembered whenever you
exit the Multi Selector dialog, even if you exit the dialog and choose a different function. For
Parameter Possible Values Function
Of Current Item,
Selected Items
If set to Current Item, selection range is conned to those objects
in the object list that are dependents of the currently indexed item
(Current =), including the currently indexed item itself.
If set to Selected Items, then the selection range includes any
objects in the object list that are dependents of any currently
selected objects (those with asterisks between their IDs and
names). The currently indexed item is ignored unless it is already
explicitly selected.
Specify All,
All->Keymap,
All->Program,
Keymap->Sample,
Samples Only
This parameter is used to limit which dependent objects are
included in the selection range for the appropriate objects included
via the Of parameter. The normal setting is All, which means all
dependents are included. The other settings are useful primarily
when separating objects into different les for reloading later using
macros and Relink-by-Name.
If set to All->Keymap, then the selection range includes all
dependent objects down to the level of keymaps. That is, samples
will be excluded from the selection range.
If set to All->Program, then the selection range includes any
dependent objects down to the level of programs and effects
(keymaps and samples are excluded from the selection range).
Keymap->Sample includes all keymaps and samples that are
dependent objects, and nothing else.
Samples Only includes all samples that are dependent objects,
and nothing else.
Current Type, ID, and name of
the currently indexed
object
Displays the object that will be used if Current Items is the value
of the Of parameter.
