Creating and Saving a Macro 
1 
In the Flexi Pad control block, press the [MCRO]
 
button, turning it on. 
This assigns the Flexi Pad control block to macro
 
operations. 
2 
Select the bank of the register in which you want to
 
save the macro. 
For details of the method of operation, see step 2 in the
 
previous item “Recalling a Macro Register and
 
Executing a Macro” (page 505). 
3 
Hold down the [MCRO] button in the Flexi Pad
 
control block, and press the button in the memory
 
recall section showing the desired register name. 
This assigns the Flexi Pad control block to macro
 
editing, and the auto insert function is enabled. The
 
[MCRO] button lights red. 
“xxx” is the number of the
 
currently recalled register.
 
Pressing this button saves
 
the macro, and the Flexi
 
Pad section switches back
 
from macro editing mode to
 
the recall operation mode.

In the same way as in the numeric keypad control
 
block, create the events you want to save in the macro. 
For details, see step 2 (page 500) of “Creating a new
 
macro.”

Repeat step 4 to save the desired events in the macro. 
The operations you carry out on the control panel are
 
saved as a sequence of events in the macro. 
The numeric display appears as follows. 
 
Example: 
Total number of events
 
Position of last saved event 
6 
Press the [STOR xxx] button in the memory recall
 
section (where xxx is the register number). 
The [STORE STATS] button lights amber. 
This saves the created macro in the register, and macro
 
editing ends. 
The Flexi Pad control block returns to the state before
 
macro editing began. 
The [MCRO] button lights amber. 
 
 
 Notes  
•
 
During macro editing, you can press a mode selection
 
button in the Flexi Pad control block other than the
 
[MCRO] button (for example, the [WIPE] button or
 
[DME] button) to record the executed operation as an
 
event. In this case, the [MCRO] button remains lit red. 
•
 
During macro editing, if you press a button for which a
 
macro attachment is set, the macro within the register
 
assigned to the button is merged into the macro being
 
edited. However, the macro assigned to the button is not
 
executed. 
•
 
While carrying out macro editing in the Flexi Pad control
 
block, absolutely no macro operations are possible in the
 
Flexi Pad control blocks for other M/E and PGM/PST
 
banks. Macro operations from the numeric keypad
 
control block or Multifunction Flexi Pad control block
 
are also not possible.
