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.

Parameter		Possible Values	Function
Of		Current Item,	If set to Current Item, selection range is confined to those objects
		Selected Items	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,	This parameter is used to limit which dependent objects are
		All->Keymap,	included in the selection range for the appropriate objects included
		All->Program,	via the Of parameter. The normal setting is All, which means all
		Keymap->Sample,	dependents are included. The other settings are useful primarily
		Samples Only	when separating objects into different files 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->Sampleincludes 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	Displays the object that will be used if Current Items is the value
		the currently indexed	of the Of parameter.

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 specified 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
