You can use Sequencer mode to create WAVE files by
resampling your songs (see page 127), and place these
WAVE files in the desired order to create an audio CD.
Note: You’ll need a commercially available USB CD-R/
RW drive and media.
Connecting your USB CD-R/RW drive
and USB storage device
1. Using a USB cable, connect the USB storage device
containing your WAVE files to the M3’s USB A
connector.
Using another USB cable, connect your CD-R/RW
drive to the M3’s other USB A connector.
Note: The M3’s USB A connectors support hot-
plugging; you can connect or disconnect the USB cable
while the power is on. However in order to do so, your
USB storage device must also support hot-plugging.
2. Turn on the power of the M3.
3. Turn on the power of your USB storage device, and
use a USB cable to connect the USB port of your
USB storage device to the USB A connector of the
M3.
Note: The above step assumes that your USB device
supports hot-plugging. If you are using a device that
does not support hot-plugging, connect it with the
power turned off.
While the M3 is accessing the USB device, do not
connect another USB device or disconnect the
connected device. Doing so may damage your
data.
4. Press the MODE MEDIA switch to enter Media
mode.
5. Press the Media Info tab, and then execute the
menu command “Scan USB device.”
If you are using a removable disk, insert the media.
After you exchange media in your USB device, press
the display to make the M3 detect the media. When the
media has been detected, information about the media
will appear on the display.
Make sure that the USB storage device containing
your WAVE files and the media in the USB CD-R/
RW have been detected.
When writing data to CD-R/RW media, the media
containing the WAVE files must have free space
equal in size to the WAVE files you are writing.
Before you execute this operation, make sure that
the drive containing the WAVE files contains
enough free space.
Creating audio CDs
Part 1: 2ch Mix to Media
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 USB storage device (commercially
available hard disk, etc.).
1. In Sequencer mode, select the first song that you
want to burn to the CD.
2. In the 0–7: Sampling/Audio In page, sample the
song to create a WAVE file. For details on creating
a WAVE file, refer to “Resampling a song to create
a WAVE file.”
3. 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.
Part 2: Making the CD
1. Access the Media– Make Audio CD page.
Press the Make Audio CD tab.
In the default state, the WAVE File area will show only
“====End====.”
2. To the track list, 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.
