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

You can use the 25-pin D-sub-type control I/O connector (CONTROL B) on
the AR-200S’s rear panel to control an external device from the AR-200S.
The AR-200S 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-200S.
Busy Out is a continuous signal output from the BUSY OUT pins during
playback (as well as during recording and recording standby) of audio
phrases, pattern phrases, and song phrases.
This signal can be used to start amplifiers and other external devices in sync
with phrase playback.

Output of Busy Out Signals In Dual Mono Mode (p.
19)

When in Dual Mono mode, the Busy Out signal of the left channel is output
from the BUSY OUT pins (Port Nos. 13 and 17), and the right channel Busy
Out signal is output from the CONT OUT pins (Port Nos. 15 and 18).

fig.CtrOut-02.e

The Control Out signal is output for a duration of one second from the CONT
OUT pins after playback of audio phrases, pattern phrases, and song phrases.
This signal can be used to start amplifiers and other external devices in sync
with phrase playback.
You can set the time that is to pass after phrase playback before output is made
to anything from 0 seconds to 59 minutes 59 seconds. Settings are made in
phrase units.

Note that if playback of a phrase in progress is cut off, no
Control Out signal is output.

Output of Control Out Signals In Dual Mono Mode
(p. 19)

Note that Control Out signals are not output in Dual Mono Mode (the Control
Out settings are not effective).
In such instances, if the Busy Out output settings have been made, then the
Busy Out signal of the left channel is output from the BUSY OUT pins (Port
Nos. 13 and 17), and right channel’s Busy Out signal is output from the CONT
OUT pins (Port Nos. 15 and 18).
Settings for these parameters cannot be made with the AR-200S. Only phrases
set on the AR-3000 are effective. For detailed information, please refer to the
AR-3000 owner’s manual.
