Main Features

High-quality Recording and Playback

Thanks to Roland’s innovative RDAC system, you can enjoy high-quality, recording and playback using less data. You can select recording settings that suit the situation and the capacity of the card (sampling frequency: 6 levels, recording mode: 4 levels). This ensures support for recording and playback in a variety of situations and uses.

What you record and the settings are all saved on the card, so you can change situations rapidly simply by changing cards. The AR-200 can record and play back up to a maximum of 250 phrases (using cards created on Roland’s AR-3000 allows playback of up to 1000 phrases).

Audio Recording System with No Moving Parts

An audio recording system that uses PC cards and has no moving parts is employed. The system has no rotating parts or drive mechanism, so it’s practically maintenance free. It provides excellent sound quality and superior reliability.

A Variety of Control Jacks for a Wide Range of Playback Methods

As connectors to use for control, the unit features a Control In jack, MIDI connectors, and AR-LINK connectors. This lets you select from a variety of playback methods and create systems matched to usage and situations.

Compact Body for Easy Portability

The compact half-rack size body takes little space, and can be conveniently transported. If a separately sold RAD-50 rack mount adaptor is used, the AR-200 can be installed in an EIA rack.

MIDI Connectors Allow for Play of Musical Instruments and Syncing with Video

Since the unit is equipped with MIDI connectors, you can record and play back MIDI signals. You can play an electronic musical instrument automatically, just like playing back an audio phrase.

Control of recording/playback using MIDI signals is also supported. This means you can use MTC and MMC signals to obtain recording/playback that is synchronized to video and other external devices.

Multi-track Operation–AR-LINK Feature

The AR-LINK feature lets you link the unit to up to 31 other units to create a completely synchronized multi-track system. The AR-3000 is required as a master control device.

Capable of DC-Powered Operation

Since external DC power supply is also supported, a wide variety of applications are possible.
