Roland AR-200 Connecting Equipment, Operational Specifications for Terminal Rec, Recording

Controlling the AR-200 from an External Device (Control Input Connectors)

Connecting Equipment

Connectors Used in Terminal Rec

1–8: Phrases are specified in binary format using combinations of 0 (Off) and 1 (On).

9, 10: Combinations of 0 (Off) and 1 (On) are used to specify record, erase, and playback.

15–18 (CONT OUT): Outputs signals for confirming the presence or absence of phrases.

In addition to the connectors just described, shorting Ports 11 and 12 (Ground) enables “On.”

Operational Specifications for Terminal Rec

Phrases are specified by combinations of signals of 0 (Off) and 1 (On) to the Port Nos. 1 through 8 as well as Port Nos. 11 and 12, and record, playback, and erase functions are specified with combinations of control signals of 0 (Off) and 1 (On) to Port Nos. 9 and 10.

Presence or Absence of Phrases

If there is a binary-specified phrase that has already been recorded, a signal is output from the CONT OUT connector (Port No. 15). If there is an empty phrase, no signal is output.

*During Terminal Rec, the CONT OUT connector functions as a connector for signals confirming the presence or absence of phrases. Note that this differs from the normal function of

CONT OUT.

→While control signals are being input, the specified phrase is recorded. When input of the control signal stops,

recording then ends.

*Recording does not start if there is a binary-specified phrase that has already been recorded (the recording instruction is disabled). When recording, either specify an empty phrase or delete the existing phrase before recording the new one. Additionally, in Terminal Rec, since a make signal is output from the CONT OUT connector when a specified phrase has already been recorded, this allows confirmation using a connected external control device.

*When headphones are being used, no Busy Out signal is output.

*When you're using the Terminal Recording Mode, recording takes place immediately, without entering trigger recording standby.
