Recording and Playing MIDI Data
(MIDI Phrases)
What Are MIDI Phrases?
You can record and play back MIDI data with the AR-3000R.
Sets of MIDI data recorded using the AR are called “MIDI
phrases.”
MIDI phrases and audio phrases are both treated as phrases
in the way.
You can do things like taking MIDI data created on a MIDI
sequencer and recording it as a MIDI phrase on the AR-
3000R, then send the played-back data to a sound source
module or the like to make broadcast announcements.
The AR-3000R saves MIDI data as Format 0 Standard MIDI
Files (SMF).
The AR-3000R can only play back Format 0 SMF data.
* Audio phrases and MIDI phrases cannot be recorded, nor can
they be played back at the same time.
* When recording MIDI phrases, the effective capacity of a card
is related not only to the recording time, but also to the density
of the MIDI data. Please be aware that when you record MIDI
phrases, the possible recording time for any one card will vary
depending on the amount of MIDI data that has been
generated.
Controlling the unit by using MIDI signals is described in
another chapter.
Refer to “Controlling the AR-3000R Using MIDI Signals
(MIDI Control)” (p. 105).

fig.13-g01e
During recording standby, the PLAY indicator and the
PAUSE indicator flash in red.
If you try to re-record a phrase that’s already been
recorded, a prompt message appears. If you choose
“YES” and press the ENTER button, the recorded data
for the phrase is deleted and the unit goes into recording
standby. If you choose “NO,” the unit returns to the
normal display.
* Please be aware that data deleted here cannot be recovered,
even if you cancel recording standby without recording
anything.
When “Card Protect (p. 77)” is set to “ON,” recorded
phrases are protected and recording is not possible
(writing, overwriting, deleting, and editing card data is
prohibited).
