Using MIDI Signals to Start and Stop Recording
With the AR-200, you can do things such as have recording
start upon reception of a start message from another MIDI
device, as well as have a recording in progress be stopped
upon reception of a stop message. During recording standby,
recording starts when a System Real time start message
(FAH) is received, and stops when a stop message (FCH) is
received.
Furthermore, start (FAH) and stop (FCH) messages are
transmitted when phrases are played back.
