Recording a Macro
44
The RM50 comes programmed with ten macros that should give you an idea
of the sorts of things you can do with this function. Take a few moments to try
each of the macros in the list below, then try duplicating their action manually.
This little exercise should give you a good idea just how handy they can be.

Of course, you may decide that you won't be using the functions selected by
these preset macros all that much. If this is the case, feel free to record your own
macros. By putting this feature to work, you can customize your RM50 to make
routine programming tasks a little smoother, so you can direct more of your
attention to the musical tasks at hand.
It's easy to record macros. Start by pressing the [MACRO] key while
holding down the [SHIFT] key. You should see a display like the one below. (If
you don't, press the [SHIFT] and [—1/NO] keys once or twice).
The pointer has appeared next to a key name and number representing the
RM50 key that you will use to play the macro you are about to record. Use the
[+1/YES] or [-1/NO] keys to select a different macro key, if you wish. (We'll @ g
pick the [SOUND] key here, for the purpose of our example.)
Next, press the [SHIFT] and [MACRO] keys once again to begin record-
ing. The LCD will shift to the familiar Play mode display.
"Reversed "m"
This display has a reversed "m" in the upper right corner, indicating that a
macro is now being recorded. Execute the macro operation exactly as you want
it to be played back, then press the [MACRO] key to end the recording.
