Modifying Recorded Phrases (Phrase Settings)

Adding Information to Individual Phrases

(Phrase Information)

This adds a variety of information to recorded phrases (phrase information).

If you want the phrase information when the card was formatted to remain unchanged, then you don’t need to change any settings.

&“Settings When a Card Is Formatted” (p. 63)

NOTE

5 The items that can be set differ according to the type of phrase

(audio phrase, MIDI phrase, command phrase, pattern phrase, or song phrase).

&“Phrase Information/Phrase Setting Correspondence Table”

(p. 17)

5 If a card in AR-2000 format is inserted in either slot (or both), the AR-3000SD can be used only for playback, and it is not possible to record phrases or make any settings. Also, if you insert a card in AR-2000 format into either slot (or both) while making settings, the operation will halt with an error message.

Thereafter, the operation cannot be resumed until all cards are removed.

Play Volume (%)

This sets the volume level during playback of audio phrases. The volume level at the time of recording is considered to be 100%.

Procedure for setting the play volume

1.

Use the [SELECT] dial to choose the phrase whose setting you want to change.

2.

Press the [MENU] button.

The MENU indicator lights up.

3.

Use the [SELECT] dial to choose “1.1 Play Volume,” then press the dial.

You can reselect a phrase whose setting you want to change by pressing the [BACK] (USER) button. The entry position (highlighted) moves to the phrase selection, so turn the [SELECT] dial to reselect card and the phrase number, then press the dial.

4.

Modifying Recorded Phrases (Phrase Settings)

Repeat Play (Repeat, Repeat Interval)

This makes the settings for repeated playback of a phrase.

Repeat playback section is equivalent to the playback point

(described earlier).

Repeat: This sets the number of times playback is repeated.

(For example, when the number of repetitions is set to five times, the phrase is played back a total of six times.) When the number of repetitions is set to ON, playback repeats endlessly.

Interval: This sets the playback interval as a time value.

Repeat Interval

Phrase1 Phrase1

Procedure for making repeat play settings

3.

Use the [SELECT] dial to choose “1.4 Repeat Play,” then press the dial.


4.

Turn the [SELECT] dial to choose Repeat (OFF/ON/1 to 99), then press the dial.

Pressing the dial while the cursor (highlighted) is at the "sf" position moves the end position setting.

* Each press of the [BACK] (USER) button moves the cursor

(highlighted) in the sequence of sf 0 f 0 s 0 m 0 h.

Pressing the dial while the cursor (highlighted) is at the “sf” position moves the end position setting.

* The frame display varies according to the setting for the MIDI

Time Code (MTC) frame rate.

Turn the [SELECT] dial to set the end position (time), then press the dial.

5.





6.



* While making the settings, you can go back to the previous entry location (highlighted) by pressing the [BACK] (USER) button.



Turn the [SELECT] dial to set the Repeat Interval (from 00 m 00 s to

59 m 59 s), then press the dial.

* The number of the repeat interval can be valid only when repeat

“ON” or “1–99” is selected.

Loop Play

(Loop, Loop 1, Loop 2, Crossfade Time)

This makes the setting for loop playback of the desired passage of a phrase. Loop Playback starts at the start point (playback point), then after looping the specified number of times, playback ends at the end point (playback point).

Loop: This sets the number of times playback is looped.

(For example, when the number of loops is set to five times, the looped phrase is played back a total of six times.) When the number of loops is set to Endless, playback loops endlessly.

Loop 1:

Loop 2:

This specifies the return point for looping.

This specifies the repeat point for looping.

Crossfade Time: This adjusts the junction during loop playback.

Longer times make for progressively greater smoothness.

Loop passage

Phrase

Loop 1 Loop 2

NOTE

5 Loop Play is not possible when in the Dual Mono mode.

5 You cannot make these settings for MODE2 or MP3 phrases.

Procedure for making loop play settings

3.

Use the [SELECT] dial to choose “1.5 Loop Play,” then press the dial.


4.

Turn the [SELECT] dial to choose Loop (OFF/ON/1 to 99), then press the dial.

6.

Turn the [SELECT] dial, select the Crossfade Time (0 ms to

1000 ms), then press the dial.

7.





8.






MEMO

If a start or end playback point is set within the looped interval, the start point is set to Loop 1 and the end point is set to Loop 2.

Fade (Fade In and Fade Out)

This makes the settings for starting phrase playback with a Fade In and ending playback with a Fade Out.

This sets the time until the playback level is reached from silence

(Fade In) and the time until silence is reached from the playback level (Fade Out).

Phrase

Fade In

(Time)

Fade Out

(Time)

Tip

If there is noise or the like at the beginning or end of a phrase, you can cause the noise component not to be played back simply by setting the Fade In or Fade Out times to Time 1 through Time 3.

Time1: Set at approx. 10 msec.



Removal effect when noise or the like is present

Turn the [SELECT] dial to set the Loop 1 position (time), then press the dial. Pressing the dial while the cursor (highlighted) is at the “sf” position moves the Loop 2 position setting.

* The time that is set is shown as a relative amount of time, with the start position of the playback point taken to be 0.

* Each press of the [BACK] (USER) button moves the cursor

(highlighted) in the sequence of sf 0 f 0 s 0 m 0 h.

5.

Turn the [SELECT] dial to set the Loop 2 position (time), then press the dial.

Phrase

Around 10 to 50 milliseconds

Tip

Setting the Fade In or Fade Out time to about 5 seconds is an effective way to produce a normal Fade In (crescendo), or Fade

Out (decrescendo) effect.

Fade In (crescendo)

/Fade Out (decrescendo) effect

Phrase about 5 sec about 5 sec

MEMO

When you use the [STOP] button (or other means) to stop a phrase during playback for which this setting has been made, the phrase stops with a Fade Out. If you don’t want a Fade Out, pressing the [STOP] button again stops the phrase immediately.

Creating Combinations of Phrases

(Phrase Combination)

You can create new phrases by combining a number of phrases already recorded and storing the result as a different phrase. There are two types of methods for creating phrase combinations: pattern phrases and song phrases.

NOTE

If a card in AR-2000 format is inserted in either slot (or both), the AR-3000SD can be used only for playback, and it is not possible to record phrases or make any settings. Also, if you insert a card in AR-2000 format into either slot (or both) while making settings, the operation will halt with an error message.


Combinations of Phrase Units

(Pattern Phrases)

You can combine a number of phrases to create a new phrase

(pattern phrase). A pattern phrase is a stored combination of phrases that have already been recorded. A pattern phrase is also treated as a single phrase.

Creating pattern phrases makes it possible to create and start a variety of combined-phrase patterns while saving card memory space.

Specific examples

First, make actual recordings of three phrases like the ones described below.

A0001: “Thank you for coming”

A0002: “Today”

A0003: “Despite the bad weather”


Combine these three to create a pattern phrase.

Actual phrase A0001

Thank you for coming

Actual phrase A0002

Today

Actual phrase A0003

Despite the bad weather

Pattern Phrase A0004

A0001 A0002


A0001 A0002 A0003

: Single Phrase

: Pattern Phrase

A0004:

A0005:

“Thank you for coming today” (for sunny days).

“Thank you for coming today, despite the bad weather” (for rainy days).

Set A0004 or A0005 to start on playback.

Phrases 0001 through 0005 are used, but the phrases actually recorded (the actual phrases) are only 0001, 0002, and 0003.

5 You can assign up to 100 phrases to a single pattern phrase.

5 You can set the phrase playback sequence (pattern phrase mode) to SEQ or to RANDOM 1, 2, or 3.

& “About pattern phrase playback methods (pattern phrase modes)” (p. 10)

5 The playback volume level for phrases is set at 100% of the volume level when recorded. (The overall volume level for each

pattern phrase is set with phrase information 1.1 “Play Volume

(%)” (p. 4).)

* Volume-level settings for MIDI phrases and command phrases are ignored.

5 The interval sets the time between playback of one phrase and the next phrase.

5 You can also assign MIDI phrases and command phrases to pattern phrases.

5 You can assign a mixture of audio phrases, MIDI phrases and command phrases.

5 Song phrases that have already been created (p. 12) cannot be

assigned to pattern phrases.

NOTE

5 Audio phrases whose sampling rate is 96 kHz or whose recording format is WAV-24 or MP3 cannot be assigned to pattern phrases.

5 “Playback Volume,” “Playback Point” and “Fade settings” included in the phrase information for phrases assigned to a pattern phrase remain in effect, but other phrase information is disregarded.

5 To create a pattern phrase, you can choose constituent actual phrases on either inserted card, but note that the pattern phrase will not be played back correctly if the card containing the constituent phrase is not already inserted at the time of playback. (If the constituent phrase does not exist, the next phrase is sought and played back.)

About pattern phrase playback methods

(pattern phrase modes)

There are four types of pattern-phrase playback methods (pattern phrase modes), which are described below. Choose the one that matches your usage conditions.

SEQ: This plays back the phrases in the sequence in which they were assigned.

RANDOM1: This plays back the phrases assigned to No. 001 through No. 100 at random.

RANDOM2: This plays back the phrases assigned to No. 001 through No. 100 at random, while allowing you to insert another phrase once at a set number of times

(interrupt phrase interval of 1 to 25). The interrupt phrase is selected sequentially from phrases No. 101 through 128.

RANDOM3: This plays back the phrases assigned to No. 001 through No. 100 at random, while allowing you to insert another phrase once at a set number of times

(interrupt phrase interval of 1 to 25). The interrupt phrase is selected randomly from phrases No. 101 through 128.

NOTE

Assign only audio phrases to No. 101 through 128.

SEQ

Tip

When Playing Back Narration with Pattern Phrases

With narrations that use pattern phrases, the proper treatment of silent portions is important in order to make the narration sound more natural and easier to understand.

This issue can be addressed as follows:

5 Adjust the interval for the pattern phrase.

5 Use trigger recording (Owner’s Manual: p. 21) to avoid recording silent portions.

5 Use the playback point phrase settings (p. 5) to delete silent

portions that might be perceived as being odd.

Turn the [SELECT] dial to set the interval for the assigned phrase

(from 00.0 to 59.9 sec), then press the dial.

12.

Repeat steps 8 through 10 to assign phrases.

5 The screen displays the total time for the pattern phrase.

* If “-----” is assigned at a number, the interval time for the previous assigned phrase is not added to the total time.

Time-based Combinations (Song Phrases)

You can paste together a number of phrases in temporal (time-flow) order to create a new phrase (song phrase).

A song phrase is a stored combination of phrases that have already been recorded. A song phrase is also treated as a single phrase.

By creating song phrases, you can create time-based phrases, while saving card memory space.

Specific examples

Try setting the time frame for playback at 15 minutes.

Prepare phrases like the ones described below.

A0030:

A0031:

A0032:

A0033:

A0034:

A 5-minute song

A 3-minute song

A 30-second announcement

A 15-second announcement

A 6-minute song

Paste these phrases on a time axis to create song phrase A0035 having a total time of 15 minutes.

5 You can assign up to 100 phrases to a single song phrase.

5 You can assign a phrase any number of times to a single song phrase, or to more than one song phrase.

NOTE

5 Playback points and fade settings included in the phrase information for phrases assigned to a song phrase remain in effect, but other phrase information is disregarded. Note that a phrase is assigned to a song phrase in the same state as when it was just recorded (that is, the state before phrase information settings are made).

5 When you are creating a song phrase, you can choose actual phrases from both card A and card B, but note that the pattern phrase is not played back correctly if the card containing the constituent phrase is not inserted at the time of playback. (If a constituent phrase does not exist, silence is heard until the start point [time] for the next phrase is reached.)

5 Conditions for Creating Song Phrases

5 Song phrases that have already been created cannot be assigned to a song phrase.

5 Pattern phrases that have already been created cannot be assigned to a song phrase.

Recording and Playing MIDI Data (MIDI Phrases)

What Are MIDI Phrases?

You can record and play back MIDI data with the AR-3000SD.

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-3000SD, then send the played-back data to a sound source module or the like to make broadcast announcements.

The AR-3000SD saves MIDI data as Format 0 Standard MIDI Files

(SMF).

The AR-3000SD 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.

MEMO

Controlling the unit by using MIDI signals is described in another chapter.

& “Controlling the AR-3000SD Using MIDI Signals (MIDI

Control)” (p. 38).

Recording and Playing MIDI Data (MIDI Phrases)

Selecting the Recording Connector

When you’re recording MIDI data, choose “MIDI-IN” as the recording connector.

Procedure for selecting the recording connector

1.

Put the unit into recording standby.

2.

Turn the [SELECT] dial to choose the REC-In, then press the dial.

3.

Turn the [SELECT] dial to choose the MIDI-IN, then press the [ENTER] button.

The screen like the one below appears.

* Please be aware that if you press the [SELECT] dial instead of the

[ENTER] button, the setting is not confirmed.

5 Next, if you’re setting the MIDI time base, go to step 2 of the procedure for setting the MIDI time base.

Setting the MIDI Time Base

The MIDI time base determines the precision with which you can record notes, and differs from one equipment to another.

(On some equipment, this is called “resolution.”)

Set the time base for the AR-3000SD to either 192 or 240, to match the time base of the connected MIDI device.

When the time base of the connected MIDI device is:

24, 48, 96, 192, or 384

0 Set the AR-3000SD time base to 192

30, 60, 120, 240, or 480

0 Set the AR-3000SD time base to 240

Procedure for setting the MIDI time base

1.

Put the unit into recording standby.

2.

Turn the [SELECT] dial to select “Time Base,” then press the dial.

* You can set the Time Base only when “MIDI-IN” has been selected as the recording connector.

3.

Turn the [SELECT] dial to choose the Time Base (192 or

240), then press the [ENTER] button.

* Please be aware that if you press the [SELECT] dial instead of the

[ENTER] button, the setting is not confirmed.

Starting and Ending Recording

1.

Pressing the [PLAY/PAUSE] button while in recording standby starts recording.

During recording, the REC indicator and PLAY/PAUSE indicator light up in red.

2.

Start playback of the MIDI data.

3.

Press the [STOP] button to end recording.

NOTE

5 Some MIDI sequencers output the setup data for the MIDI sound module (data describing the tones for each part, the volume, effects, etc.) when the song is selected, and it may be impossible to record the MIDI information correctly when recording is started on the AR-3000SD after song selection.

Should this occur, first start recording on the AR-3000SD, and after that initiate song selection and the start of playback on the

MIDI sequencer.

5 In MIDI recording on the AR-3000SD, the tempo when recorded is assumed to be 120. (Tempo information is not stored.)

5 You can’t change a phrase number later, so be sure to choose the phrase number you want to record to, and then record.

* Recording cannot span two cards inserted in the slots. When the free space on one card is used up, recording ends automatically.

Tip

Starting and Stopping Recording Through MIDI Playback

With the AR-3000SD, you can start recording when a start message is received from another MIDI device, and stop recording when a stop message is received during recording.

During recording standby, recording starts when a System

Realtime start message (FAH) is received, and stops when a stop message (FCH) is received.

During playback, start (FAH), stop (FCH), and timing clock (F8H) messages are sent.

What is a timing clock?

This is MIDI information used when synchronizing a number of instruments using MIDI. The playback device sends clock messages at intervals that correspond to its own tempo, and the receiving device operates in accordance with those messages.

& “MIDI Implementation” (p. 65)

Controlling the AR-3000SD from an External Device (Control Input Terminals)

You can control the unit from an external device by using the input terminals, among the control input and output terminals on the unit’s rear panel.

This chapter describes how to connect external equipment and make the settings on the AR-3000SD.

What Is No-Voltage/Make-Contact?

This is a contact that makes starting possible simply by connecting two lines to the control input terminals and shorting their ends.

This is a general-use method that lets you create start systems easily using only a switch and without any need for a power source, enabling easy use for a variety of applications.

You can control recording and playback on the AR-3000SD by on and off signals input from an external device through the novoltage/make-contact or open collector circuit.

The range of situations where you can use the unit can be expanded by connecting infrared sensors, external-start connectors such as switches, relays, and timers, and the like to the unit.

The AR-3000SD can help simplify installation operations by making the starting-side contact hot and sharing the ground as the common (COM) port.

& Also refer to “Examples of Usage and Connection for the

AR-3000SD” (Owner’s Manual: p. 12) for more examples of usage of the control input and output terminals.

& For information about the specifications of the control input and output terminals, refer to “Specifications of the Control

Input/Output Terminals” (Owner’s Manual: p. 27).

Important notes on using the control input and output terminals

* The control input and output terminals cannot be used to switch the power to the AR unit on or off.

* The two common (COM) ports are connected internally, so you can achieve operation by making the connection to either one.

At times such as when connecting more than one AR control port to a single make contact, interconnect one COM port from each AR. However, do not intermix this unit with other AR series devices. Doing so may result in unstable operation.

NOTE

When making connections to the ports, be careful not to lose the removed screws. Place the screws out of the reach of small children. If a screw is accidentally swallowed, immediately consult a physician.

Types of Control Input Playback

The varieties of control input playback are direct playback (p. 24),

program playback (p. 28), and binary playback (p. 30).

The three playback methods yield the following nine types of operational specifications according to their settings. Choose the one that matches your usage conditions.

What is Binary Playback?/Uses and

Applications

In binary playback, phrases are selected by means of binary (Base

2) control signal input to the Port Nosº. 1 –8, 14, 16, 21 and 22, with the selected phrases played back when control signals are input to the Port NO. 9 (START). You can select and play back up to a maximum of 4000 phrases.

This allows all phrases to be specified with control signals (from a switch or other ON/OFF signal device) without the use of computers or other complicated equipment.

(common).”


MEMO

Even without connecting to all ten ports 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).

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.

However, if Port Nos. 14 and 16 are not connected, only “OFF” is enabled, leaving Card A as the only card that may be selected.

Start signals feature other special requirements.

Controlling Another Device with the AR-3000SD (Control Output Terminal)

You can control an external device from the AR-3000SD by using the output connectors among the control input and output terminals on the unit’s rear panel.

The AR-3000SD outputs two types of control signals: BUSY OUT and

CONTROL OUT.

This chapter describes how to connect external equipment and make the settings on the AR-3000SD.

& Also refer to “Examples of Usage and Connection for the

AR-3000SD” (Owner’s Manual: p. 12) for more examples of usage of the control input and output terminals.

& For information about the specifications of the control input and output terminals, refer to “Specifications of the Control Input/

Output Terminals” (Owner’s Manual: p. 27).

Important Notes on Using the Control Input and Output Terminals

* The control input and output terminals cannot be used to switch the power to the AR-3000SD on or off.

NOTE

When making connections to the ports, be careful not to lose the removed screws. Place the screws out of the reach of small children. If a screw is accidentally swallowed, immediately consult a physician.

Starting Another Device (Busy Out)

What Is a Busy Out Signal?/Equipment

Connections

A Busy Out signal is a signal that is continuously output from the BUSY OUT port during playback (and during recording and recording standby) of audio phrases, MIDI phrases, command phrase, pattern phrases, and song phrases.

You can use this signal to start an amp or other external device in sync with phrase playback.

The setting for whether or not the Busy Out signal is to be output is made separately respective to the following three situations:

5 During the delay time set in a phrase (p. 4): in Delay Time ON/

OFF

5 During phrase playback: in Phrase Play ON/OFF

5 During the repeat interval set in a phrase (p. 5): in Repeat Int

Controlling the AR-3000SD Using MIDI Signals (MIDI Control)

What Is MIDI Control?/What You Can Do with

MIDI Control

MIDI stands for “Musical Instrument Digital Interface,” and is a unified worldwide standard allowing the exchange of performance information and the like between electronic instruments and computers. You can connect any device conforming to the MIDI standard with a MIDI cable, and then transmit performance data and control the device’s operation and settings.

With the AR-3000SD, you can do things like those described below using MIDI signals.

t You can record and play back MIDI signals from an external MIDI device in the same manner as with audio phrases.

& For more about recording and playing back MIDI signals, refer

to “Recording and Playing MIDI Data (MIDI Phrases)” (p. 21).

t You can use MIDI signals from an external MIDI device as control signals for controlling playback of audio and MIDI phrases.

t You can use MMC and MTC signals from an external MIDI device for remote control and synchronized operation.

5 You can use received MMC signals to start and stop recording

and playback of audio phrases (p. 42).

& “What Is MMC?/Remote Control from Another Device” (p. 42)

5 By using MMC and MTC signals in combination, you can synchronize playback of audio phrases to video equipment or the like.

& “What Is MTC?/Synchronized Playback with Video

Equipment and Other Devices” (p. 44)

Also see “MIDI Implementation” (p. 65), which allows confirmation

of the MIDI messages that the unit can send and receive.

Glossary of Selected MIDI Terms

MIDI messages: These are messages conveyed by MIDI signals.

These messages are necessary for playing performances on an external MIDI sound generating device. They include note messages for playing and stopping notes, as well as Control Change and System Exclusive (SysEx) messages, which can modify and enhance the expressive capabilities of performances.

Note number: This is a number assigned to each key (note) on the keyboard of an electronic musical instrument.

Numbers are assigned in semitone steps, with middle

C (C4) set at 60 and the numbers from 0 to 127 indicating the positions of the keys on the keyboard.

On the AR-3000SD these are used to specify phrases.

Note On: This is a message that provides information on when the keyboard of a MIDI instrument is fingered.

Note On Velocity: The strength when the keys of a MIDI instrument are pressed.

Note Off: This is a message that provides information on when the keys of a MIDI instrument are released.

Program Change: This is a message that provides information for switching sounds on an electronic instrument. On the AR-3000SD, this is used to switch phrase sets in groups of 100.

Control Change: MIDI instrument performances use a variety of controllers, not just for the keyboard. The MIDI message that conveys such controller action is the

Control Change. The AR-3000SD receives and acts upon Panpot and Expression messages.

Playback of Phrases Using MIDI Signals

This plays back audio and MIDI phrases using MIDI signals from an external MIDI device as control signals.

Phrase playback can be controlled by the different types of MIDI messages, including Note On/Off, Note On Velocity, Panpot, and

Expression.

* Note that simultaneous recording and simultaneous playback of audio phrases and MIDI phrases is not possible.

Operation procedures

When you have finished making the settings, send MIDI signals from the external MIDI instrument. When messages are received, the unit starts playing back the phrases.

MIDI note out

If MIDI Note Out is set to “ON,” then when an audio phrase is played back, the MIDI Note Number On/Off signals set in the MIDI Note

Map (p. 39) are output from the MIDI OUT connector.

It’s possible to use this signal to control a number of AR-3000SD units.

* If multiple note numbers are selected for the playback phrase, only the on or off signal for the lowest note number is output.

NOTE

Output is on the MIDI channel set with the MIDI receive channel

(p. 41).

If the MIDI receive channel is set to:

5 OFF: There is no output.

5 1 through 16: Only the MIDI signals received on the selected channel are output.

5 ALL: Output is on channel 1.

When you are controlling a number of AR-3000SD units using

note Numbers, set the MIDI note trigger (p. 41) for the controlled

AR-3000SD to Trigger.

Synchronizing Operation to an External

MIDI Instrument 1 (MMC)

What Is MMC?/Remote Control from Another

Device

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.

The AR-3000SD can work as a remote-control device, starting and stopping recording and playback of audio phrases when MMC signals are received from a hard-disk recorder or the like.

&“MIDI Implementation” (p. 65)


You can use the AR-3000SD either as an MMC master or an MMC slave.

In this connection example, the unit is used as a slave.

Synchronizing Operation to an External

MIDI Instrument 2 (MMC and MTC)

What Is MTC?/Synchronized Playback with

Video Equipment and Other Devices

What is MTC (MIDI time code)?

This comprises MIDI messages developed to allow MIDI devices to be synchronized with precision. It differs from MIDI Clock in that it displays 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 MTC signals requires that the other device is capable of synchronization using MTC.

With the AR-3000SD, you can combine MMC and MTC signals to synchronize playback of audio phrases with a digital mixer, video equipment, or other devices.

Types of MTC (frame rate)

The MTC types (frame rates) you can select with the AR-3000SD are shown below. When you are synchronizing operation using MTC, you need to set both devices to matching frame rates.

Check the specifications of the connected external MIDI instrument, then make the settings.

30: This is 30 frames per second, non-drop format. It is used for audio equipment such as analog tape recorders, and NTSC-format black and white video.

29N:

29D:

This is 29.97 frames per second, non-drop format. It is used for NTSC-format color video.

This is 29.97 frames per second, drop format. It is used for NTSC-format color video for broadcast use.

25:

24:

This is 25 frames per second. It is used for SECAM- and PAL-format video and audio equipment, and for motion pictures.

This is 24 frames per second. It is used for video and audio equipment in the U.S.A., and for motion pictures.

& “Selecting the MTC type (30/29N/29D/25/24)” (p. 46)

Drop frame and non-drop frame

There are two types of time codes used by NTSC-format videocassette recorders: drop frame, in which time codes are not continuous, and non-drop frame, in which time codes are continuous. To achieve compatibility with the NTSC color video standard, drop frame drops the first two frames of every minute except the 10th, 20th, 30th, 40th, and 50th minutes.

Non-Drop Frame (29N)

Drop Frame (29D)

Because continuous frames are easier to work with, non-drop frame is used in general video and music production.

Conversely, drop frame is used in television stations and the like, where time codes must match actual clock times.

NOTE

5 Synchronization by means of MTC is not possible when the Dual

Mono mode on the AR-3000SD is set to “ON.”

5 MTC synchronization may not be correct when Loop Play for a phrase is set to “ON.” In such cases, use with Loop Play set to

“OFF.”

5 Synchronization with MTC is not possible for phrases for which

MODE2 or MP3 are set to RDAC-MODE.

Selecting the MTC error level (0 to 10)

This sets the interval at which the MTC reception status is checked

(from 0 to 10). When you are conducting synchronization with the unit as the slave, this constantly checks whether the unit is correctly sending MIDI time codes. When MIDI time codes are not sent continuously, it is determined that there is a problem with MTC synchronization, and synchronized operation stops.

The MTC error level sets the reference standard for this determination. Larger values increase the degree of error tolerance, making slave playback possible even when there are minor problems in receiving MIDI time codes.

Playing Two Units’ Worth of Data on the Left and Right (Dual Mono Mode)

What Is the Dual Mono Mode?/Equipment

Connections

The Dual Mono mode is a feature for playing different mono audio phrases independently on the left and right channels.

By playing odd-numbered phrases (A0001, A0003,... or B0001,

B0003,...) from the left channel and even-numbered phrases (A0002,

A0004,... or B0002, B0004,...) from the right channel, you can play back two units’ worth of data on a single unit.

You can also play back separate phrases on the left and right channels either simultaneously, or shifted.

Note that the Dual Mono mode is subject to various conditions that you should be aware of before you use the mode.

MEMO

On the AR-2000/100 (legacy models), this Dual Mono mode is named the “Channel Playback mode.” As you use it, keep in mind that it is the same feature.

Conditions for simultaneous playback in dual mono mode

5 Phrases whose recording type is mono

5 Phrases whose recording format is WAV-16, LINEAR, MODE1–3, or HI-LINEAR

5 When the sampling rate is 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, or 48 kHz

Specifying phrases like the following result in dual mono mode playback that may not be correct

5 MIDI phrases or song phrases, or audio phrases whose recording format is WAV-24 or MP3

0 These are treated as empty phrases.

5 Pattern phrases containing MIDI phrases

0 These are treated as empty phrases, and the unit searches for and plays back the next phrase.

5 Phrases whose recording type is stereo

0 Dual Mono playback is canceled, and the specified phrase is output in stereo (L/R).

If a phrase unsuited to Dual Mono playback is specified on either the left or right channel in the course of sequential phrase playback, it results in incorrect Dual Mono playback. To ensure reliable Dual

Mono playback, specify the playback phrases with care.

The following phrase information has no effect during playback.

5 1.5 Loop Play

Control output during dual mono mode playback

During Dual Mono mode playback, the left-channel Busy Out signal is output from the BUSY OUT control port, and the right-channel

Busy Out signal is output from the CONT OUT control port.

Dual mono playback through control input

You can perform playback through control input, in the same way as for ordinary stereo playback.

The settings for control-input playback basically act independently for each channel.

& For more information about the operation of playback with

control input terminals, see also “Controlling the AR-3000SD from an External Device (Control Input Terminals)” (p. 24).

During direct playback

Odd-numbered phrases are output by direct playback from output

L (left), and even-numbered phrases are output by direct playback from output R (right). The order of priority of the control input connectors may vary depending on how phrases are assigned to the control input terminals. To facilitate understanding, the explanations in this section assume that the assigned phrase numbers correspond to the port numbers.

Playing Two Units’ Worth of Data on the Left and Right (Dual Mono Mode)

Dual mono playback through the RS-232C connector

In a manner similar to ordinary stereo playback, you can also obtain playback through the RS-232C connector. Phrase playbacksequence information is allocated to the corresponding dedicated buffer according to whether the phrase number is odd or even, and playback on the left and right channels starts simultaneously according to the respective playback sequence.

* Sending a playback-stop instruction stops playback simultaneously on the left and right channels.

During binary playback

Odd-numbered phrases are output by binary playback from output

L (left), and even-numbered phrases are output by binary playback from output R (right).

Dual mono playback through MIDI signals

You can perform playback through MIDI signals, in the same way as for ordinary stereo playback. Playback starts when a MIDI Note On message is received. Odd-numbered phrases are played back from the L (left) channel, and even-numbered phrases are played back from the R (right) channel.

* Because playback is performed in reverse priority, the lastreceive Note On message takes priority.

* Setting Note Trigger to “Gate” makes it possible to send stop instructions independently to the left and right channels.
