Troubleshooting

About recording

Recording does not start

In trigger recording, recording starts automatically when the audio input is of a higher level than the trigger level (lever for starting recording). Adjust the input level so that recording is allowed to start.

" Trigger recording standby." (p. 23)

About playback

Control Input Playback (Direct/Binary) does not work as intended

Make sure the MODE switches’ settings (Direct/Binary) are selected correctly. You cannot achieve control input playback merely by connecting a device to the port. Be sure to set the control input mode and match the method used for connecting to the connectors.

"MODE SW Settings" (p. 56)

Phrases in Direct Playback cannot be selected as intended

When the card is formatted, phrase assignments for Port Nos. 1 through 9 are such that Phrase 0001 is assigned to Port No. 1, Phrase 0002 to Port No. 1, and so on up to Phrase 0001, which is assigned to Port No. 9. Check to make sure that the phrases are properly selected.

Phrases play repeatedly in Direct Playback

Check to make sure that “INTERVAL PLAYBACK” is not selected with the MODE switch settings.

"MODE SW Settings" (p. 56)

The AR-LINK function does not work as intended

In the AR-LINK settings, is “AR-LINK Mode” set to “Off?”

When using AR-LINK, set this to “Slave” to match your usage conditions. In addition, check the device connections (OUT, IN) for the AR-LINK connector.

About playback and recording of MIDI phrases

MIDI phrases cannot be recorded correctly

Some MIDI sequencers output MIDI sound generator setup messages (tone settings for each part, volume information, effects data, etc.) when a song is selected, and this may prevent MIDI messages from being recorded correctly when recording with the AR-200 begins. In such instances, start recording with the AR- 200 first, then after this select and play back the song from the MIDI sequencer.

MIDI data cannot be recorded

When recording MIDI data, switch to MIDI Recording mode.

"Recording and Playing MIDI Data (MIDI Phrase)"

(p. 26)

MIDI phrases are not played back

Is the MIDI Receive channel set to “Off?”

"MIDI Receive channel Settings (MIDI channel)"

(p. 44)

About MIDI Control Playback

Phrases cannot be played back as intended in MIDI Control Playback

When a card is formatted, Program Change 1 is set to C- 1: 0001-G9:0128. Program Changes 21-30 have Phrases 0001-1000 assigned to them. Phrases 001-500 are assigned to Program Changes 21-30 for compatibility with the AR-2000. Confirm that the phrase you want to play back is correctly specified.

*By transmitting program change 128, you can then send a Note On message for a note number to interrupt a currently playing phrase.
