ALESIS K2661 - Manual (Page 159)

Basic Disk Mode
File List Dialog
13-9
In addition to remembering the current directory on the most recently used disk, the K2661 also
remembers the index within the file list for the current directory. For example, if you were to hit
Cancel on the above page, go to Setup mode to check the current setup, then return to Disk
mode to load a file, the file index would still show 3 DOORS.K26 after you pressed Load. This
index is remembered until a new disk is selected by changing the value of the Current Disk
parameter on the Disk-mode page.
There are exceptions to this however. For example, when a file is written to the disk using the
Save function, the index will subsequently be set to the file that was just saved. The index can
also be explicitly set using the List and Find utilities.
If there are no files in the current directory, then the index is 0, and no value appears for the File
to load parameter:
Dir:\||||||||||||Sel:0/0|||||Index:|||0|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|||||||||||||||||
|||||||||||||||||||||||
||||File|to|load:|||||||||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|Total:|0K||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Select||Root||Parent||Open|||OK|||Cancel
The maximum number of files that can be accessed within a single directory is 360. If you have
more files than this amount in a single directory, then you will not be able to view the entries
past index 360.
While in this dialog, pressing the Chan/Bank buttons will scroll the file list either forward or
backward by “pages” of 5 entries. It is often easier to scroll the list this way when looking to see
if a particular file is present in a directory.
Soft Buttons in the File List Dialog
Use the Select soft button for multiple file selection in the Load, Delete, and Move functions. In
the display below, there are two files selected (DOORS.K26 and FLUTE.K26), as indicated by
the asterisk (*) following their filenames. If you pressed OK in the following display:
Dir:\||||||||||||Sel:2/23||||Index:|||3|
|||||||||||||||||AXM||||||.K26||||122K||
|||||||||||||||||
CHIME||||.K26|||||42K||
||||File|to|load:DOORS||||.K26*||3456K||
|||||||||||||||||JUNE27|||||||(dir)|||||
|||||||||||||||||LONGSMPS|||||(dir)|||||
|Total:21034K||||FLUTE||||.K26*||||.5K||
Select||Root||Parent||Open|||OK|||Cancel
the files DOORS.K26 and FLUTE.K26 would be loaded.
The Select button will toggle the selection, meaning that if you press Select on a given file, the
asterisk will go on if it is currently off, and vice-versa. Selecting can be done for files only, not for
directories. You can select as many files as you wish using the Select button. There is also a way
to select all files at once, or clear all file selections at once, using a double-press of the cursor
buttons:
