Storing Objects in the Memory Banks
Relink-by-Name Processing Time
Normally, the time taken to relink several dependent objects using the name search will be
insignificant, relative to the time it takes to load the data from the file. However, if you are
attempting to relink a very large amount of dependents by loading one file (say, 200 samples or
so), there may be a noticeable wait while the K2661 searches its object database for the
dependents. If this happens, it’s best to be patient.
Storing Objects in the Memory Banks
There is a separate bank of Object IDs for each object type. That is, you can store 999 programs,
999 samples, 255 songs, and so on. There are two groups of object types, based upon the number
of available Object IDs. Table 13-1 shows the number of IDs and ID ranges—in ROM and in
RAM—for both groups of object types.
The Multiple Object Selector Page
The Multiple Object Selector gives you several ways to select multiple objects for various
operations—for example, to load all setups with IDs between 250 and 299, to save all programs
in the 400s bank, including their dependent RAM keymaps (but not their dependent RAM
samples), or to delete all samples whose name includes “Gazonk.”
The Multiple Object Selector is available in two places:
• In Disk mode, in the Load and Save dialogs
• In Master mode, on the Object Utility pages—Move, Copy, Name, Delete, and Dump (see
page 11-15)
Each of these dialogs and utility pages has a Multi soft button. Pressing it takes you to the
Multiple Object Selector.
