Creating and playing audio CDs

Requires a USB CD-R/RW drive (not included)
If you have an external USB CD-R/RW drive, you can
sample directly from audio CDs (as well as simply playing
them), and create your own audio CDs.

Creating audio CDs

In conjunction with an external USB CD-R/RW drive, you
can use the KRONOS to create audio CDs of your music. To
do this, you'll:
• Bounce the completed Songs to WAVE files
• Arrange the WAVE files in a track list, in the order that
you'd like them to appear on the CD
• Burn the track list to a CD
Part 1: Bouncing to disk
If you're starting with Songs you've created in Sequencer
mode, you'll first need to bounce the Songs to WAVE files
on the internal disk.
1. In Sequencer mode, select the first song that you want
to burn to the CD.
2. Go to the 0–8: Audio In/Sampling page.
3. Select the menu command Bounce All Tracks To Disk.
A dialog box will appear, showing the file system.
4. Use Drive Select, Open, and Up to select the directory
in which the WAVE file will be saved.
5. Use Name to specify the WAVE file's name.
6. Press the OK button to start the bounce.
The Song will start playing. Recording will begin and end
automatically, and the resulting stereo WAVE file will be
saved to the disk.
Repeat the steps above for all of the Songs that you'd like to
burn to the CD, and then proceed to Part 2 below.
Make sure that there's space on the drive
When you create an audio CD, the KRONOS first saves a
draft version of the CD onto the same drive that contains
the original WAV files, and then burns the actual CD.
This means that the drive must have enough free space to
write a second, temporary copy of all the CD's WAVE
files. Make sure that you have enough space before you
start.
Part 2: Making the CD
1. Press the DISK button to enter Disk mode.
2. Go to the Audio CD—Make Audio CD page.
This page lets you select a group of WAVE files to burn to
the audio CD. Each WAVE file will becomes a track on the
CD, and so we'll call this group of WAVE files the "track
list." Before you add any files, the track list will show only
"====End====."

3. Add the WAVE files that you want to write to the CD.
Select "====End====" (it will be highlighted), and
press the Insert button.
The Insert Track dialog box will appear.
Use the drive select, Open and Up buttons to go to the
directory that contains the WAVE file, and select the
WAVE file that you want to add to the list.
You can press the Play button to play back the sample for
auditioning. Alternatively, you can press the SAMPLING
START/STOP switch to play it.
If you have selected a WAVE file with a sampling
frequency other than 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz, it will not be
possible to press the Insert button.
48 kHz WAVE files will be automatically converted to
44.1 kHz when you use the Write to CD command.
To add the file, press the Insert button.
You can continue adding files until you press the Exit
button. The files will be added to the track list in the order
in which you selected them. If you want to add all the
WAVE files in the directory, press the Insert All button.
