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 transmission connector used for
creating completely synchronized recording and playback
with multiple AR-3000/200 devices. The connectors feature
special leads for commands and master clock, allowing
synchronization with sampling frequency precision.
With one AR-3000 as the master, you can then link up to 31
other AR-3000s and/or AR-200s (for a total of 32 devices) to
get 64-channel multitrack recording and playback.
However, this system allows recording and playback only of
audio phrases (MIDI phrases cannot be handled).
* Synchronization with the AR-LINK is not available when only
AR-200s are used.

Example of Connecting to an
External Device
Use MIDI to send a hard disk recorder’s operation data to
the master AR-3000. Connecting four slave AR-200s in a
chain then allows you to get 10-channel multitrack recording.
