Alesis K2661 Soft Buttons in the Save Selection Dialog, Saving Individual Objects, 13-25

Basic Disk Mode

Saving Files

Everything files consist of the Master file parameters and every other RAM object. Saving an Everything file will literally save everything in RAM, including samples, into a single file.

Soft Buttons in the Save Selection Dialog

The meaning of the soft buttons in the “Save selection” dialog is as follows:

Export	Save a sample or a song in an exported file format (that is, AIFF, WAVE,
	MIDI Type 0 or Type 1). This feature is described in the Musician’s Guide.
Macro	Save entries from the current macro table as a macro file (.MAC). This soft button is
	displayed only if macro file recording is on.
Object	Save selected objects from the K2661’s RAM.
NewDir	Create a new directory on the current disk, and return to this dialog afterwards.
	This is described previously in Creating Directories on page 13-11.
OK	Save all the objects from the highlighted bank (for example, 200...299), and
	optionally also save dependent objects.

Cancel Exit from the Save function.

Export, Macro, and NewDir are all explained in the Musician’s Guide. This section will describe the process of saving K2661 objects into K2661 format disk files.

Saving Individual Objects

You can select any group of objects in the K2661’s RAM for saving into a single file.To save individual objects, from the above dialog, press Object. The K2661 will display a scrollable list of all the objects in RAM, very similar to the display for the Load Object feature (described previously):

Sample501HiVocalG4S179K

Keymap500VocalsMap176

SelectNextTypeMultiOKCancel

The procedures for saving objects are essentially the same as the procedures described on page 13-14for loading objects.

Selecting or deselecting all of the objects at once can be done with the following double-presses (two front-panel buttons simultaneously pressed):
