IMPORTANT NOTES
In addition to the items listed under “USING THE UNIT
SAFELY” on page 2-3, please read and observe the
following:
• Use a cable from Roland to make the connection. If using
some other make of connection cable, please note the
following precautions.
• Some connection cables contain resistors. Do not use
cables that incorporate resistors for connecting to this
unit. The use of such cables can cause the sound level
to be extremely low, or impossible to hear. For infor-
mation on cable specifications, contact the manufac-
turer of the cable.
Power Supply
• Do not use this unit on the same power circuit with any
device that will generate line noise (such as an electric
motor or variable lighting system).
• The AC adaptor will begin to generate heat after long
hours of consecutive use. This is normal, and is not a
cause for concern.
Before Using PC Cards
• Never attempt to remove a PC Card from the drive while
the drive is operating (the indicator is lit); damage could
result to both the card and the drive.
• Before connecting this unit to other devices, turn off the
power to all units. This will help prevent malfunctions
and/or damage to speakers or other devices.
• Remove any disk from the drive before powering up or
down.
Placement
• To avoid the risk of malfunction and/or damage, insert
only PC Cards into the disk drive. Never insert any other
type of disk. Avoid getting paper clips, coins, or any other
foreign objects inside the drive.
• This device may interfere with radio and television
reception. Do not use this device in the vicinity of such
receivers.
• To avoid possible breakdown, do not use the unit in a wet
area, such as an area exposed to rain or other moisture.
Before Using Cards
Maintenance
Using DATA Cards
• For everyday cleaning wipe the unit with a soft, dry cloth
or one that has been slightly dampened with water. To
remove stubborn dirt, use a cloth impregnated with a
mild, non-abrasive detergent. Afterwards, be sure to wipe
the unit thoroughly with a soft, dry cloth.
• Carefully insert the PC card all the way in—until it is
firmly in place.
PC card
• Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any
kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or
deformation.
Additional Precautions
• Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the contents
of data that was stored DATA card once it has been lost.
Roland Corporation assumes no liability concerning such
loss of data.
• Use a reasonable amount of care when using the unit’s
buttons, sliders, or other controls; and when using its jacks
and connectors. Rough handling can lead to malfunctions.
Eject button
• Never strike or apply strong pressure to the display.
Copyright
• When connecting / disconnecting all cables, grasp the
connector itself—never pull on the cable. This way you
will avoid causing shorts, or damage to the cable’s
internal elements.
• Unauthorized recording, distribution, sale, lending, public
performance, broadcasting, or the like, in whole or in part,
of a work (musical composition, video, broadcast, public
performance, or the like) whose copyright is held by a
third party is prohibited by law.
• To avoid disturbing your neighbors, try to keep the unit’s
volume at reasonable levels. You may prefer to use
headphones, so you do not need to be concerned about
those around you (especially when it is late at night).
• Do not use this unit for purposes that could infringe on a
copyright held by a third party. Roland assumes no
responsibility whatsoever with regard to any infringe-
ments of third-party copyrights arising through your use
of this unit.
• When you need to transport the unit, package it in the box
(including padding) that it came in, if possible. Otherwise,

settings. For a rough guide to maximum recording times with various
settings, see the "Recording Audio" (P.18) in the reference materials (p. 53).
RDAC-Grade(sampling frequency) (REC MODE SW–3)
The RDAC grade is the type of sampling frequency for digital recording.
On the AR-200, you can select from among six grades.

Recording Audio
What’s RDAC?
RDAC (Roland Digital Audio Coding) is a proprietary audio recording
standard from Roland.
It achieves high sound quality and also makes it possible to record for long times.
If You’re Not Sure About Which Grade and Mode to Choose
The optimal grade and mode vary according to the usage conditions,
including the connected equipment, recording source, sound quality, time,
and playback system.
The factory default settings are RDAC-Grade: LONG1; and RDAC-Mode: MODE1.
First, try recording and playback with these settings. In most cases, this
yields satisfactory sound quality.
Recording Type (Stereo/Mono)(REC MODE SW 6)
Select either stereo recording or mono recording.
Choosing mono recording gives you recording times that are twice as long
as with stereo recording.
Procedure
1. Turn off the power of the AR-200.
2. Set the SW 6 REC MODE switch on the AR-200’s bottom panel.
OFF : MONO
ON : STEREO
3. Turn on the power of the AR-200.
* Use a narrow-tipped object to set the MODE switches to ON or OFF.
What is mono recording
In the case of mono recording, input the audio signal to the "MONO/L"
input jack. When audio signals are input simultaneously to the "MONO/L"
and "R" input jacks, L and R are mixed and recorded.
Line Thru Output
REC SW6: OFF (mono)
When audio signals are input to "MONO/L," output is from OUTPUT L and
R. When audio signals are input to "R," output is from OUTPUT R only.
When audio signals are input to both "MONO/L" and "R," solely the signals
input to "MONO/L" are output from OUTPUT L, while the "MONO/L" and
"R" signals are mixed and output from OUTPUT R.
REC SW6: ON (stereo)
Audio signals input to "MONO/L" are output from OUTPUT L, and audio
signals input to "R" are output from OUTPUT R.

Recording and Playing MIDI Data
(MIDI Phrase)
What is a MIDI Phrase?
You can use the AR-200 for recording and playback of MIDI
data. MIDI data recorded with the AR-200 are called “MIDI
phrases.”
This automatically changes to MIDI THRU during recording
and in recording standby.
MIDI phrases and audio phrases are treated identically as
phrases.
"Important Notes on Making Connections and Switching
the Power On and Off"(P.9)
You can take MIDI data recorded with a MIDI sequencer and
record this to the AR-200 as MIDI phrases, using them as
“MIDI data playback sent to sound generating modules for
broadcast within buildings.”

manner as you would with audio phrases.
• You cannot change the phrase number afterward, so be
sure select the phrase number you want to record before
you start recording.
Using MIDI Signals to Start and Stop Recording
With the AR-200, you can do things such as have recording
start upon reception of a start message from another MIDI
device, as well as have a recording in progress be stopped
upon reception of a stop message. During recording standby,
recording starts when a System Real time start message
(FAH) is received, and stops when a stop message (FCH) is
received.
Furthermore, start (FAH) and stop (FCH) messages are
transmitted when phrases are played back.

Even without connecting to all eight connectors used for
making the binary specifications, you can still conduct
Binary Playback. The number of phrases that can be specified
is determined by the formula “two to the nth power minus
one” (with “n” being the number of connectors used).
What Is Binary Playback?/Use
and Applications
By inputting binary (Base 2) signals to Port Nos. 1 through 8
to select a phrase and inputting a start message to the START
terminal, you can then play back the selected phrase. A
maximum of 250 phrases can be selected and played back
with this method.
Example:
Using three timers or other such devices capable of
outputting the necessary signals gives two to the third power
minus one (i.e., 8 - 1 = 7), meaning you can specify the seven
phrases 001 through 007.
This allows you to specify 250 phrases with control signals
(from a switch or other ON/OFF signal device), without
having to use computers or other complicated equipment.
However, start signals feature other special requirements.

input.
Phrase Number (Binary)
You can begin playback of phrases by specifying phrases in
binary with the start signal continuously being input.
Input of binary specifications should be completed in no
more than 50 milliseconds.
When the START connector control signal switches to Off,
the current phrase finishes, and then playback is stopped.
No action results when a new start signal is input while a
phrase is being played back.

*
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.
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.
*
*
When headphones are being used, no Busy Out signal is
output.
Presence or Absence of Phrases
When you're using the Terminal Recording Mode, recording
takes place immediately, without entering trigger recording
standby.
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.

Playback of Phrases Using
MIDI Signals
• You can record and play back MIDI signals from an
external MIDI device in the same manner as with audio
phrases.
MIDI signals from an external MIDI device can be used as
control signals in order to play back audio and MIDI phrases.
Phrase playback can be controlled by the different types of
MIDI messages, including Note On/Off, Note On Velocity,
Panpot, and Expression.
• You can use MIDI signals from an external MIDI device
as control signals for controlling playback of audio and
MIDI phrases.
*
MIDI phrases cannot be played back simultaneously with
audio phrases or other MIDI phrases.
• You can use received MMC signals to start and stop
recording and playback of audio phrases.
Moreover, by using an optional AR-3000 to create and edit
phrases, the following is also possible. For detailed
information, please refer to the AR-3000 user’s manual.

What is MMC (MIDI Machine Control)?
MMC refers to MIDI messages that were devised in accord
with certain agreements as to how to facilitate the centralized
control of a multiple number of recording devices using one
device. In addition to playback, stopping, and fast
forwarding of songs, you can also select tracks for recording
and carry out other operations merely by operating the one
device which functions as the master. Use of MMC signals
requires that the other devices be capable of remote
operation using MMC signals.
MIDI Sequencer
MIDI OUT
MIDI IN
The AR-200 can work as a remote device, starting and
stopping recording and playback of audio phrases when
MMC signals are received.
However, there is no connection between MMC master
(operating device = sending side) and slave (receiving side)
and MTC synchronization master and slave.
Power Amp
What is MTC (MIDI time code)?
MTC consists of MIDI messages that were devised to allow
MIDI devices to synchronize correctly with professional-use
tape recorders, video equipment, and the like. It differs from
MIDI Clock, displaying the absolute time. The master device
transmits the current absolute time (in hours/minutes/
seconds/frames from the start), and the time of the slave
device is advanced to conform with it. Use of MMC signals
requires that the other device is capable of synchronization
using MTC.

MIDI phrases
MIDI phrases cannot be recorded correctly
• In trigger recording, recording starts automatically when
the audio input is of a higher level than the trigger level
(lever for starting recording). Adjust the input level so
that recording is allowed to start.
• Some MIDI sequencers output MIDI sound generator
setup messages (tone settings for each part, volume
information, effects data, etc.) when a song is selected,
and this may prevent MIDI messages from being
recorded correctly when recording with the AR-200
begins. In such instances, start recording with the AR-

• Has the “Delay Time” been set for the phrase?
• Reconfirm that the volume control on the AR-200 or
connected device is turned up.
Try playing back the phrase by pressing the AR-200’s PLAY

control device, connections and so on once more.
• In situations such as when control signals are input
continuously, the movement of the internal relays may
make a scraping sound, but this does not indicate any
malfunction. To prevent overuse and failure of the relay,
you may also switch to Interval Playback in order to
have the relay move only once.

• If using MTC, are both devices set to the same MTC
type?
• Check the AR-3000 to confirm that the MIDI device ID
settings are correct.
Phrases are not played back (PLAY indicator is
