Alesis K2661 specifications Sample293TenorSaxG#-198K, FuncLOADSel0/5Index1, 13-16

Basic Disk Mode

Disk Mode Functions

For samples, the letter S after the root key indicates a stereo sample.

Due to display space constraints, if the sample’s root key happens to be in the lowest MIDI octave range (that is, C -1 through B -1), it will be displayed in a truncated form. For example, if a sample’s root key was set to G#-1, the display would read:

Sample293TenorSaxG#-198K

The status line at the top of the display specifies the function being performed, the number of selected objects in the list followed by the total number of objects in the file, and the current list index:

Func:LOADSel:0/5Index:1

As with the file list, entering in a number from the alphanumeric buttonpad will jump to the indexed entry, and typing in a large number like 9999 will go to the end of the list.

The soft buttons on this page are used for multiple selection of the objects in the list as well as for moving around the list when there are many items selected or listed. This same dialog is also used for many other functions in the K2661, namely for saving selected objects to disk and for several object utility functions that are described later.

Here is a brief description of each button’s function, followed by a detailed explanation of its operation.

Select Select or deselect an object.

Next Jump to the next selected object.

Type Jump to the next object of a different type.

Multi Go to the Multiple Object Selector page.

OK Tell K2661 to proceed to load the selected objects.

Cancel Exit back to the File List Dialog.

Press the Select button to choose the highlighted object for loading. An asterisk (*) is placed in between the object name and the object ID for any items that are selected. Deselect a selected object by pressing Select again. The asterisk will disappear. The easiest way to choose objects for loading is to scroll the list and individually press Select on each object you want to load.

If you only want to select one object for loading, you need not select it with the Select button. Instead, pressing OK implicitly selects the highlighted object if there are no other objects selected. If there are objects selected, however, then the highlighted object will not be loaded unless it is selected.
