Synchronized Recording and Playback
with Multiple AR Units (AR-LINK)
What Is AR-LINK?/What You Can
Do Using AR-LINK
The AR-LINK connector is a special transmission connector
for AR units, used for creating completely synchronized
recording and playback with multiple AR-3000R devices.
The connectors feature special leads for commands and
master clock, allowing synchronization with sampling
frequency precision.
With one AR-3000R as the master, you can link up to 31 other
AR-3000R/3000/200 units (for a total of 32 devices) to get 64-
channel multitrack recording and playback.
However, this system allow recording and playback only of
audio phrases (Song phrases, Pattern phrases, and MIDI
phrases cannot be handled).

Example of Connecting to an
External Device
●
Use MIDI to send a hard disk recorder’s operation data to
the master AR-3000R. Connecting four slave AR units in a
chain then allows you to get 8-channel multitrack recording.

●
Use MIDI to send signals from a video device to the master
AR-3000R. You can chain 31 slave AR units to synchronize
images and phrases.

Also refer to “Synchronizing Operation to an External MIDI
Instrument – 2 (MMC and MTC)” (p. 112).
Do not connect a cable to AR-LINK IN on the AR-3000R set
as the master.
When an AR-200 is serving as a slave, AR-LINK
synchronization cannot be accomplished if the master
chooses a B slot phrase.
During AR-LINK playback, the “Repeat Play,” “Loop Play,”
and “Control Out” settings made for the phrases have no
effect.
