2. Turn the D32XD/D16XD on - Korg

5. Exchanging data with your
computer
Use USB Slave Mode to transfer data between your computer
and <strong>the</strong> PC drive.
For <strong>the</strong> procedure refer to “USB” (→p.92).
6. Erasing a CD-RW disc
This operation erases <strong>the</strong> data that was written on a CD-RW
disc.
Erasing a disc lets you use <strong>the</strong> entire capacity of <strong>the</strong> disc, just
as when it was unused (blank).
When you execute this operation all data will be erased from <strong>the</strong>
CD-RW disc.
This operation cannot be performed on any disc o<strong>the</strong>r than a CD-
RW disc.
(1) Insert <strong>the</strong> CD-RW disc into <strong>the</strong> CD-R/RW drive.
(2) Access <strong>the</strong> SYSTEM, “DiskUtility” tab page and press
<strong>the</strong> Erase CDRW button to display <strong>the</strong> Erase CDRW
dialog box.
(3) Select <strong>the</strong> desired method.
Quick: Erase <strong>the</strong> CD-RW disc at high speed.
Full: Erase <strong>the</strong> CD-RW disc completely. Use this
method if you experience problems such as <strong>the</strong>
disc failing to be recognized after being formatted
by Quick. This method requires a longer
time.
(4) To execute <strong>the</strong> erasure, press <strong>the</strong> Yes button to begin.
• If you decide not to erase <strong>the</strong> CD-RW, press <strong>the</strong> No
button.
• When <strong>the</strong> operation is finished, <strong>the</strong> display will indicate
“Completed.” Press <strong>the</strong> OK button.
8. Drive capacity
This section explains how you can make <strong>the</strong> best use of <strong>the</strong>
<strong>D32XD</strong>/<strong>D16XD</strong>’s song drive capacity. For explanatory purposes,
we will assume that you have recorded a song with
<strong>the</strong> following structure.
The Optimize Track operation described here does not need to be
performed often. It is sufficient to perform this operation when <strong>the</strong>
“Disk too busy.” indication appears, or when you want to recover
disk drive capacity after completing a song.
1. You began recording on track 1 from <strong>the</strong> beginning of
<strong>the</strong> song, and only played during <strong>the</strong> Intro, Break, and
Ending on <strong>the</strong> first take.
In this case, silence (actually, noise-level sound) will
have been recorded in <strong>the</strong> A, B, and Solo sections of track
1, unnecessarily using up valuable drive space.
To keep only <strong>the</strong> audio data that you are actually
using
Execute <strong>the</strong> Optimize Track operation on track 1, from <strong>the</strong>
beginning of <strong>the</strong> song to <strong>the</strong> end of <strong>the</strong> song. Set <strong>the</strong> Optimize
Track “Mode” parameter to “Erase Silence,” and execute.
This will cause audio data to be preserved only for <strong>the</strong> actually-used
regions, so that only <strong>the</strong> intro, break, and ending
will occupy drive space.

<strong>2.</strong> You began recording on track 1 from <strong>the</strong> beginning of
<strong>the</strong> song, and played <strong>the</strong> Intro, A, B, and Break during
<strong>the</strong> first take, and <strong>the</strong>n recorded a second take, overwriting
<strong>the</strong> original A and B with A’ and B’.
You can erase a disc in <strong>the</strong> same way by using <strong>the</strong> CD, CD WRIT-
ER, “CD Utility” tab page Erase button.
(5) Access <strong>the</strong> CD, CD WRITER, “CD Utility” tab page
and press <strong>the</strong> Get Information button.
The Drive Information dialog box will indicate
“Blank.”
7. Load system
This lets you easily update <strong>the</strong> operating system of <strong>the</strong>
<strong>D32XD</strong>/<strong>D16XD</strong>. For <strong>the</strong> update procedure, refer to “Upgrading
<strong>the</strong> system” (→p.95).

In this case, A and B of <strong>the</strong> first take remain “beneath” A’
and B’ of track 1, in order to preserve <strong>the</strong> data for Undo
and also because <strong>the</strong>y are a continuous piece of audio
data with <strong>the</strong> Intro and Break. This means that Intro,
A+A’, B+B’, and Break are all occupying disk space.
