Recording & Using Macros
As you become more familiar with the RY30 and learn to use its many features and functions, you will no
doubt find that you need to access certain functions more frequently than others, depending on your indi-
vidual programming requirements. The RY30’s macro capability allows you to record up to 10 key macros
so you can access the most frequently-used functions by simply specifying the corresponding macro
number.

Recording a Macro
As an example of how handy macros can be, accessing the VOICE EDIT mode
FILTER RESONANCE job from any other mode requires eight or ten
keystrokes, depending on the access method you use:
10-step Method
1. [VOICE EDIT]

3. [PAGE+]
4. [PAGE+]
5. [PAGE+]
6. [PAGE+]

Try it. You’ll agree that you won’t want to go through the whole process
every time you use this particular function if you need it frequently.
Here’s how you can record a key macro that will let you access the above
function with just two keystrokes.
Example:
1. Select a mode from which you may want to start the keystroke sequence
—
pattern, song, utility, etc.
2. Press [MACRO REC].
3. Make sure “TYPE” on the upper display line is set to “‘RECORD.” If not,
press the [DEC] key once or twice until “RECORD” appears.
4. Select the macro number you want to record
—
0 through 9
—
by pressing the
appropriate numeric key. Let’s use macro number 9 for this example.
