Controlling Another Device with the AR-200 (Control Output Connectors)

You can use the screw-type control input and DC input terminals (CONT A) and the 25-pin D-sub-type control I/O connector (CONT B) on the AR-200’s rear panel to control an external device from the AR-200.

The AR-200 outputs two kinds of control signals, Busy Out and Control Out.

This chapter explains how to connect external devices and make the settings for the AR-200.

For examples describing the use of the control input and DC input terminals and the control I/O connector, refer to the "Examples of Usage and Connection for the AR-200"(p. 12).

For more on the control input specifications, refer to

"Control I/O Connector specifications" (p. 57) in the

Appendices.

Important Note on Using the Control Input and Output Ports

When making connections to the ports, be careful not to lose the removed screws. Place the screws out of the reach of small children. If a screw is accidentally swallowed, immediately consult a physician.

What is the Busy Out Signal?/ Connecting Devices

Busy Out is a continuous signal output from the BUSY OUT connector during playback (as well as during recording and recording standby) of audio phrases, MIDI phrases, pattern phrases, and song phrases.

This signal can be used to start amplifiers and other external devices in sync with phrase playback.

The Busy Out specifications are no-voltage/make-contact, with a make-contact time of 1 second and a contact capacity of a maximum of DC 30 V at 3 A.

Port Nos. 13 and 17 have Make-contact during output.
