Introduction
Welcome to the Korg AudioGate High Resolution Music Player.
AudioGate is an advanced music player and audio recorder, as well as a flexible file conversion application. Best of
all, AudioGate is fully compatible with 1-bit DSD audio. When Installed on your computer, AudioGate can play,
manage, and convert the format of your digital audio files so that you can enjoy hearing them reproduced with the
highest levels of clarity—including direct playback of 1-bit digital audio files. Combined with certified audio
devices—such as the Korg DS-DAC recording of 1-bit audio data.Series—AudioGate allows the direct
In addition, AudioGate allows projects or files created using the Korg MR Series of DSD 1-bit recorders, DS-DAC-
10R, or Nu I* to be converted into any audio file format you choose for export or to create an audio CD or DSD disc.
Convenient file-editing features including cut, fade, and normalize add professional edge to your finished product.
Please note that regardless of format, each audio element in an AudioGate Songlist is referred to as a Song.
*Nu I is sold only in Japan.

Registering Files and Projects
In order for AudioGate to work with the audio files and MR projects (created using a KORG MR Series recorder)
saved on your computer, they must first be registered with the AudioGate Library.
Each registered item is referred to as a Song.
Registering a Song does not create a copy of the file in AudioGate. Instead, file information needed to work as
the Song in AudioGate is registered. Before you proceed, we recommend that projects recorded on your MR
Series unit be copied to the hard drive of your computer.
When many Songs are registered at a time, it will take time for them to appear in the Songlist. In addition, the
Song waveform display requires time to be analyzed during registration, so the Song waveform may also take a
while to appear.
Song Registration
Registering an MR project
When registering data that was created on a Korg MR Series digital recorder, it is possible to register just the audio
file. However, it is best practice to register the entire MR project. This way, AudioGate can also access any Marks
that were added during recording, and divided audio files will be automatically joined so that they can be handled
as a single Song.
• Drag the MR project (the entire MR project folder) that you want to register into the songlist.
Alternatively, you can click the Menu button and select [File] - [Add Audio Files...] and then choose the MR Proj-
ect by selecting the .prj file from within the folder.
When the Library Songlist is displayed, the MR project is registered to the Library as songs.
When a Playlist is displayed, the MR project is registered to the selected Playlist as well as to the Library.
Simply registering an MR project in the AudioGate library does not create a backup of the file. We recommend
that you make a copy beforehand of projects recorded on a Korg MR Series to the hard disk of your computer.

Registering an Audio File
Audio files can be registered as Songs for use with AudioGate. Any file in one of the many formats which Audio-
Gate supports can be imported and registered as a Song (see page 56).
• Drag the audio file that you want to register into the songlist.
Alternatively, you can simply click the Menu button and select [File] - [Add Audio Files...].
When the Library Songlist is displayed, the audio file is registered to the Library as songs.
When a Playlist is displayed, the audio file is registered to the selected Playlist as well as to the Library.
When the Library Songlist is displayed, you cannot register a Song that has already been registered. You are
ignored when it drag-and-drop.
Registering an iTunes Song
Your iTunes songs can also be registered into the AudioGate Library.
1. Click the menu button to select [File] - [Add iTunes songs].
2. The selected iTunes song(s) is now registered into the Library.
Your iTunes songs will only be registered into the AudioGate Library when they are selected using the proce-
dure described above [Add iTunes songs]. A Song already registered in the library will not registered in dupli-
cate.
Registering a new Recording
When recording using AudioGate, as soon as recording has stopped, the new recording will be automatically regis-
tered into the AudioGate Library as well as into the current Playlist.

Using Playlists
By creating a Playlist, you can group together your favorite Songs registered to the AudioGate Library by theme,
genre, artist, etc. Once you’ve created a Playlist, you can add, remove, sort and select individual songs, just as in the
Library.
When you register a Song into the Playlist that has not yet been registered into the Library, the Song will be auto-
matically registered into the Library as well as the Playlist.
When Song information is updated for a Song that's in a Playlist, the Song information will be updated in the
Library, so any other playlists in which the song is registered are also updated.
Creating a new Empty Playlist
1. Click the Side bar Display button at the upper left corner of the Songlist.
2. The Playlist bar will appear. Click the + button in the right corner.
A new Playlist named “Playlist” will appear.
3. To change the Playlist name, click on the name section.
If you do not change the name, new Playlists will be named [Playlist n], with n being a number that automatically
increases by 1 with each Playlist created.
4. Click Library above the Playlist bar to display the Songs registered in the Library.
5. Select Songs in the Library to register them into the Playlist displayed in the side bar.
Move the mouse pointer onto the song, and click the Context Menu icon displayed to the right of the Title to

Playing Songs
Using AudioGate, you can playback any Song that has been registered in the Library Songlist. This provides a use-
ful way to playback Songs of any format supported in AudioGate (includes 1-bit audio format) in the same sam-
pling frequency, to check the file contents or to set an editing point (see page 36).
The playback provided by AudioGate is a convenient feature that utilizes a high-speed filter and direct 1-bit
DSD output. In order to experience the exceptional fidelity provided by 1-bit audio, please use the Korg DS-
DAC Series, a certified USB audio device, or a device that supports 1-bit audio, such as the Korg MR Series.
In AudioGate, the currently selected Song title is indicated by a Playback / Pause icon to the left side of the title.
The artist name, title, and album name related to the Current Song will appear in the upper section of the Viewer
Display. The current position in the playback of the Song can be seen in the Time Information. (
Refer to “Con-
tents of the Upper Viewer Display” on page 14.)
Playing Back a Song
Double-click on any Song in the Songlist to make it the Current Song. Playback will begin automatically.
If you experience problems with playback—for example if there is no sound or if there are frequent clicks or
pops in the playback—please refer to “Audio Device Settings” on page 16.

Select the curve to use when recording with a phono equalizer. RIAA is normally recommended. When selecting
a phono equalizer during playback, set this to "Off".
When recording with a phono equalizer, the equalizer curve cannot be changed afterwards. Turn this setting
to "Off" if you are recording a record but aren't sure of the equalizer curve.
*1. The record lathes used in the process of producing vinyl records cut a wider groove as the frequency of the
sound becomes lower; this makes it difficult for the needle to accurately trace the groove during playback,
and also decreases the recording time. For this reason, the record being cut is equalized to attenuate the low-
frequency range and boost the high-frequency range, and the opposite curve is applied during playback. This
compensation is applied by the “phono equalizer.”
*2. RIAA is the standard recording/playback equalization curve for vinyl records defined by the Recording Indus-
try Association of America. It became a standard in 1954, but prior to that date there was no standardization
between the various record labels. Since the curve is not indicated on the records themselves, it’s not possible
to know which curve was used to record a given record; however it is said that nearly all records can be cov-
ered by the RIAA curve and five other curves. Try selecting different curves in AudioGate and enjoy the
resulting changes in tonality.
8. Set the Total Recording Time.
The maximum time that can be set is 6 hours.

Recording Procedure
1. Click the Input Monitor Settings button on AudioGate.
The colors on the Input Monitor Settings button will invert.
2. Input the analog signal, and adjust the input level. Set the Nu I input level in the Nu I Control Panel. For the
DS-DAC-10R, set the value with the AudioGate input level slider.
It's crucial to adjust the input level in order to record a clean sound that contains as little noise and distortion as
possible. Before recording, adjust the recording source level so that it is as high as it can be, just before the clip
indicator lights up.
When the line output of a device is connected to the DS-DAC-10R and "Phono" is selected, the sound will dis-
tort, even if the clip indicator does not light up. Be sure to monitor the sound and make the proper settings.
3. After adjusting the levels, click the AudioGate Record button to begin recording.
The Input Monitor Settings button will turn off, and the Record button will change to remain lit.
The artist and album columns in the upper Viewer Display will be blank, and the Song name in the title will
automatically be generated based on the recording date and time (for example, “Recording_20151121092032”).
The waveform will not display when recording. The elapsed time is indicated by the bar that extends to the right.
4. Click the Add button at any time during recording to add a Mark at that location in the Song.
These “Marks” can be used during playback to rapidly find and locate a specific location in the Song.
5. To finish recording, click the Stop button.
The Record button light will turn off.
When the recording stops on the recorded song, it becomes the Current Song, and is automatically registered in the
Library Songlist and in the current Playlist (Recording). Recorded Songs that have already been registered can be
played and edited, as with other songs.
6. Check the results of your recording.
Click the Play button to listen to the recording, and to make sure that everything recorded successfully.
After recording, it will take a little time to display the waveform (depending on the song length), but the Song
can be played back or edited immediately. (Refer to “Editing a Song” on page 28.)

Editing a Song
AudioGate allows individual Songs in the Songlist to be divided into sections, or combined into one.
This allows you to export selected regions from an audio file, or combine multiple consecutively-recorded files into
a single file before you export it. You can also edit the gain, fade, and DC cut settings of each song, and edit text data
such as the Title, Album, and Artist Name.
In addition—although you can edit some part of it in Player View—you can make much more detailed changes to
the Song in Edit View.
Edits applied to a Song will be commonly reflected in both the Library and the Playlist. However, changes made
to regarding dividing, combining, and the channel link function executed in the Library Songlist will not be
reflected in the Playlist.
Editing the Current Song
Editing the Text Data
The Artist, Title, and Album fields that appear above the waveform display in the Edit View Upper Viewer Display
can be edited individually, or in groups using the Batch Edit feature.
•Artist, Title, Album
Click on the text field to make the information editable. Type in the new information using the computer key-
board. When finished, press the Enter key to finalize your changes.
•All text data
You can use the Batch Edit feature to modify the text information for a group of Songs at once. (Refer to “Batch
Editing—Song Information” on page 30 and refer to “Batch Editing—Multiple Songs” on page 32.)
The title is used as the name of the output file when exporting.
If the Song has no information about the title, the file name will be displayed in the Title field.
It is possible to enter Japanese (multi-bite text) as the title. However, you should use English alphanumeric char-
acters if you intend to export the Song as an MR project.
Editing the Picture Data
You can attach a picture to your Song. The attached picture is displayed in Player View. If you want to change the
attached image, click the displayed image and then select the desired image file.
Simply attaching an image file does not embed the image in the audio file, instead the link is registered in the
AudioGate. This means that if you move the image file, it will no longer be displayed in AudioGate. In order to
embed the picture, you must export the Song or create a disc.
If you want to delete the attached image, move the mouse pointer onto the image and click the X button.
Deleting the attached picture in AudioGate does not delete the original image file.
AudioGate can load images in the following formats:
• Image files in JPEG or PNG format
• Image files embedded in an AIFF, DSF, MP3, WMA, AAC, Apple lossless, or FLAC format audio files
AudioGate can embed the picture attached to a Song when exporting the following formats:
• AIFF, DSF, MP3, WMA, or FLAC format audio files
• DSD discs
30
Batch Editing—Song Information
The Song editable metadata information includes the text data, the image data (attached picture), and the control
data (see page 29). This information can be easily edited in the “Batch Edit Song Information...” view.
When a file is exported, this information is embedded in the header of the exported file.
Embedding to AAC and the Apple lossless file is not supported.
It is possible to enter Japanese (multi-byte text) as text information, but you should use English alphanumeric
characters if you intend to export in a format other than AIFF, DSF, MP3, WMA, FLAC file or DSD Disc. Due to
limitations in the file format, characters other than English alpha-numeric will be ignored when exporting.
You can change the text information and attached image for the selected song together here.
1. Move the mouse pointer onto the targeted Song in the Songlist, and click the Context Menu icon displayed to
the right of the Title to select the [Batch Edit Song Information...].
Alternatively, you can select [Edit] - [Batch Edit Song Information...] by clicking the Menu button.
You can also select and register the [Batch Edit Song Information...] by right-clicking (Windows) or control-
clicking (Mac).
2. Click the text of the desired items in the “Batch Edit Song Information...” view to enter the text.
32
Batch Editing—Multiple Songs
You can use batch editing to edit the metadata of multiple Songs at once.
1. Click the Song on the Songlist to select it.
2. To select multiple songs, hold down the Ctrl key (Mac: Command key) and choose other songs.
3. Move the mouse pointer onto the selected song, and click the Context Menu icon displayed to the right of the
Title to select the [Batch Edit Song Information...] function.
Alternatively, you can select [Edit] - [Batch Edit Song Information...] by clicking the Menu button.
You can also access the [Batch Edit Song Information...] by right-clicking (Windows) or control-clicking (Mac)
in the Songlist.
4. Click the button to the left of each item you want to edit, so that the desired buttons are selected.
5. Edit the data for the items you selected.
See procedure 3: “Batch Editing—Song Information” on page 30.
6. Click the OK button.
The metadata editing window will close, and the edits will be reflected in the Songlist.

Dividing a Song
You can divide the Current Song into two separate Songs at any point.
When you divide a song, the original Song will be left as it was, and the two new Songs created by the Divide oper-
ation will be registered into the Songlist with new names.
1. Use the song playback functions to move to the point where you want to divide the Song.
2. Make sure that playback is paused, and click the Divide button.
Alternatively, you can perform the same thing by clicking the Menu button and selecting the [Edit] - [Divide].
You will see that the Song has been divided in the Songlist.
Text data and control information will generally be carried over into both Songs following the Divide operation.

Combining Songs
Combining Songs splices the end of one Song directly to the beginning of another Song. When you combine songs,
the original Songs will be left as they were, and the new Song created by the Combine operation will be registered
into the Songlist with a new name.
Here's how you can combine two or more Songs into a single Song.
1. In the Songlist, click a Song to select it.
2. Hold down the Ctrl key (Mac: Command key), and click on additional Songs to select them.
3. Move the mouse pointer onto the selected song, and click the Context Menu icon displayed to the right of the
Title to select the Combine button.
Alternatively, you can select [Edit] - [Combine] by clicking the Menu button.
You can also select and register the [Edit] - [Combine] by right-clicking (Windows) or control-clicking (Mac).
You will see that the Songs have been combined in the Songlist.
You can use the Combine function to join recordings together that were not originally separated by the MR
Recorder’s automatic split function, however a faint noise may be introduced at the point where the Songs are
joined.
You can't combine Songs of differing formats.
You can't combine Songs that are in compression formats such as MP3, AAC, Apple lossless (ALAC), or WMA.
Text data and control information will generally be taken from the top Song in the list.
