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.

The MIDI indicator will blink, and the display will indicate the receive channel.

2.Press the [ ]/[ ] dial to select the MIDI Receive channel (OFF/1-16/ALL).

3.Press the PLAY button to set the specified MIDI receive channel.

The MIDI indicator lights, and the phrase number is displayed.

•If you press the STOP button, the MIDI receive channel setting will be canceled.

MIDI Control Signals That Can Be Received (Receive Messages)

If you use a card whose settings have been made on the AR- 3000, the following MIDI message can be received by the AR- 200.

Note On Velocity:

Panpot (CC10):

Expression (CC11):

For more a detailed explanation of MIDI, refer to "MIDI Implementation" and "MIDI Implementation Chart" (p. 58-

p. 64).

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.
