Playback of MIDI Phrases

Selection of MIDI Output (OUT/THRU)

This changes the function of the MIDI OUT/THRU connector. Here,
select OUT.
OUT:
This sends out MIDI information from the unit. Select
this when you want to play back MIDI phrases or
send Exclusive (SysEx) messages.
THRU:
This takes MIDI information from MIDI IN and sends
it out unchanged. MIDI signals from the unit are not
output.

Use the [SELECT] dial to choose "6.1 MIDI Output," then
press the dial.

then press the dial.
4.
When the prompt appears on the screen, press the

[ENTER] button, you are returned to the usual screen, and all
setting changes you've made up to that point will be discarded.

Setting the Playback Tempo

This sets the speed for playback of MIDI phrases in beats per minute
(a tempo of from 5 to 260). The setting is made for individual
phrases.
* In MIDI recording on the AR-3000SD, the tempo when recorded
is assumed to be 120. (Tempo information is not stored.)
The setting for the MIDI playback tempo is made with a phrase
setting.
