Legal Question in Criminal Law in New York

I Live in NYS and am charged with 3 class A misdemeanors a class D felony and 2 class E felonies does Article 30.30 apply to me on the misdemeanor charges if there is felonies involved or is it restricted because I am charged with felonies along with the misdemeanors? Also is it 90 days they have to prepare for trial since the initial arrest date or do I have to say on record in court I am ready for trial and it is 90 days from there? Thanks.
