Practical Use of the PR-50

You can control the AR-3000 and other models in Roland’s AR (Audio Recorder) Series via MIDI.
When clips are played on the PR-50, Program Change and Note On messages are transmitted from
the MIDI interface’s OUT in accordance with the clips as they play.
You can have playback of the AR Series phrases switch by switching clips with the PR-50.
