Recalling a Macro Register and Executing a Macro

To carry out a macro operation, recall a macro register. Recalling an empty
register allows you to carry out macro editing operations. Recalling a register
holding a macro executes the macro immediately.
To recall a macro register, use the following procedure.

In the numeric keypad control block, press the [MCRO] button, turning it
on.

This assigns the numeric keypad control block to macro operations, and
the [RCALL] button lights.

Enter the number of the register to be recalled with the numeric keypad
buttons.

To search for an empty register, instead of entering a number, press the [.]
(period) button.
The display shows the corresponding register number. A letter “E” after
the number indicates that the corresponding register is empty.

Press the [ENTER] button.

This recalls the specified register.

When you recall an empty register

This assigns the numeric keypad control block and keyframe control block to
macro editing.

For details of macro editing, see “Creating and Editing a Macro” (page 312).

When you recall a register holding a macro

This immediately executes the macro. While the macro is executed, the
[RCALL] button flashes.

Notes

• It is not possible to execute more than one macro at a time.
• During macro execution, recalling the same register again stops the macro

being executed.

• Individual events stored in a macro are executed according to the settings in

setup. If you change the settings in setup, a saved macro may not have the
expected effect.

• During macro execution, if you switch the control panel to macro editing

mode, the macro being executed stops.

• During macro editing it is not possible to execute a macro.
