How To Create a Macro:
A macro is basically a shopping list, instructing the Kurzweil (K2000/K2500/K2600) to load a predetermined set of files and / or objects . So, in order to create a Macro, there first must exist, on the disc in question, the files that you want the macro to load. Starting from the assumption that these files already exist, do the following:
1. From DISK mode, press
2. Press
3. Set the current disk to the SCSI ID or floppy as applies.
4. Press
5. Select this 1st file you want the Macro to load; press
6. Select the Bank where you want this file to load into.
7. Press
8. Choose the Load method that you want the system to proceed with. (i.e. Overwrt, Append, ect.)
9. Goto step 4) and repeat until all the files you want the macro to load have been entered.
10. Once all the files are entered into the macro recorder, press
11. Press , press
12. Name your Macro, choose a directory, and put it to disk.
13. That's basically it. Now press again, and press
14. Answer to "Reset Macro?". Done.
Now anytime you load that. Mac file, it will load all of the items that have been specified within it.

• How to Create a Boot. Mac File:
A Boot. Mac file is simply a macro that will " auto-load" when the instrument is turned on. Do the following:
1. Create your macro ( follow the steps above on how to build a Macro) - Name it "BOOT" ... not "BOOTY", not "SHOE", but "BOOT".
2. Save" BOOT" to the root level directory (i.e. PATH=/) ( see step 10 thru 14 above).
3. On the DISK mode page, set "Startup:" to the SCSI ID (or floppy) if the device where this BOOT.MAC was saved.
4. That's it. Every time you turn on the unit, it will load BOOT. MAC.
