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.”
MIDI phrases and audio phrases are treated identically as
phrases.
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.”
MIDI data is saved by the AR-200 as Format 0 SMFs
(Standard MIDI Files). The MIDI Time Base is fixed at 192.
* Audio phrases and MIDI phrases cannot be recorded or played
back simultaneously.
* The capacity of cards used for MIDI phrases is affected not
only by recording time, but by the size of the MIDI data in the
MIDI phrases themselves. Please be aware that when you
record MIDI phrases, the possible recording time for a single
card varies according to the size of the MIDI data.
Control of the unit by using MIDI signals is described in
another chapter.
Please refer to "Controlling the AR-200 with MIDI Signals
(MIDI control)" (P.42).
