AR-200 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-200) 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.
With cards formatted on the AR-2000, you can check the
MIDI reception channel settings, but they cannot be changed.

MIDI Note Out
Moreover, by using an optional AR-3000 to create and edit
phrases, the following function are also possible.
For detailed information, please refer to the AR-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-200
units, set the MIDI Note Trigger setting of the slave AR-200
units to “Trig.””Trigger” is selected when the card is
formatted. However, this setting cannot be changed on the
AR-200.
* Even when playing back MIDI phrases, Note Number On/Off
signals are not output.
