Creating And Playing Audio Cds; Creating Audio Cds - Korg Kronos Operation Manual

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
