Controlling the AR-200R with MIDI Signals (MIDI Control)

* By transmitting program change 128, you can then send a

Note On message for a note number to interrupt a currently
playing phrase.

AR-200R Settings

MIDI Receive channel Settings (MIDI
channel)

This sets the MIDI receive channel. MIDI allows you to
independently control two or more devices over a single
MIDI cable. For example, when the MIDI channel for the
sending device is set to “1,” then unless the MIDI channel of
the receiving device (here, the AR-200R) is also set to “1,” the
MIDI message is not transmitted.

Off: MIDI messages will not playback phrases.

1-16: Only the MIDI messages on the selected channel are
received and played back.

All: MIDI messages of any channel will playback phrases.

Procedure for Making the MIDI Receive
Channel Settings

While holding down the PLAY button, insert the card
into the card slot.

The MIDI indicator will blink, and the display will indicate
the receive channel.

Press the [

]/[

] dial to select the MIDI Receive

channel (OFF/1-16/ALL).

Press the PLAY button to set the specified MIDI receive
channel.

The MIDI indicator lights, and the phrase number is
displayed.

• If you press the STOP button, the MIDI receive channel

setting will be canceled.

MIDI Control Signals That Can Be
Received (Receive Messages)

If you use a card whose settings have been made on the AR-
3000R/3000 or ARE-3000, the following MIDI message can
be received by the AR-200R.

Note On Velocity:

Volume level when playback of the

phrase starts

Panpot (CC10):

Changes the positioning of the sound in

the left and right channels

Expression (CC11): Changes the master volume

For more a detailed explanation of MIDI, refer to

“MIDI

Implementation”

and

“MIDI Implementation Chart”

(p. 58–

p. 65).

MIDI Note Out

Moreover, by using an optional AR-3000R/3000 or ARE-3000
to create and edit phrases, the following function are also
possible.

For detailed information, please refer to the AR-3000R/3000
or ARE-3000 user’s manual.

If MIDI Note Out is set to “ON,” then when an audio phrase
is played back, the MIDI Note Number On/Off signals set in

“MIDI Note Map”

(p. 43) are output from the MIDI OUT

connector.

In this case, if two or more note numbers have been assigned
to that playback phrase, only the lowest note number will be
transmitted.

The MIDI signals are output through the channel set through
the MIDI Receive channel.

If the MIDI Receive channel is set to:

“OFF”:

There is no output

“1-16”:

Only the MIDI signals in the selected channel

are input and output

“ALL”:

Output is through Channel 1

* If you are using Note messages to control two or more AR-

200R units, set the MIDI Note Trigger setting of the slave
AR-200R units to “Trig.”“Trigger” is selected when the card
is formatted. However, this setting cannot be changed on the
AR-200R.

* Even when playing back MIDI phrases, Note Number On/Off

signals are not output.
