Introduction

AudioGate is an audio file conversion application that supports 1-bit audio. Audio files

created by KORG's MR-1000 or MR-1 audio recorders can be converted and exported in

the desired format. An individual file may be divided into smaller, separate files; and

smaller files can be joined end to end into a larger single file. Editing operations such as

Gain Adjustment and Fade In /Fade Out are also supported.

Supported formats

Audio format conversion and export

AudioGate can convert an audio file on your computer to the desired format and

export it. When working with files that were recorded using the KORG MR-1000 or KORG

MR-1, you will need to copy the audio files from the project file folders on the MR-1000 or

MR-1 to your computer’s hard drive (desktop).

1. Drag and drop the desired audio files into the songlist.

Alternatively, you can click the [ADD] button and select the files.

The files in the list will be imported, and information such as the playback time and

the format will be displayed.

AudioGate calls each item of audio data in the songlist a "song."

(1) Drag and drop

2. Click the [EXPORT] button.

The export file setting screen will appear.

(2) Click

3. Set the conversion source. Choose [All Songs] to export all songs in the songlist, or

choose [Selected Songs] to export only selected songs in the list.

folder.

Select the

export-destination

folder

5. Specify the desired output file format.

If the sample rate is set to "5.6MHz," the MR-1 will be unable to play back the file.

If the bit depth is set to "32 bit (float)" or if the file format is set to "AIFF", the

MR-1000 and MR-1 will be unable to play back the file. The MR-1000 and MR-1

will also be unable to play back the file if you export a "16-bit" file at a sampling

frequency of "88.2 kHz" or higher.

You can change the detail settings of the conversion algorithm by selecting

[Advanced Settings]. For more information, refer to “Advanced settings” (page

7).
