Loop recording/playback function
You can loop-playback or record the region between marks
that you specify.
Playing a loop or recording a region
Here we explain how to loop-playback and record the region
between the marks registered to the [M1] buon and [M2] buon.
1. Press the [Loop/Auto] buon to turn the loop function on
(the buon lights up).
2. Press the [M1] buon to specify the loop-start location.
The buon blinks, and the loop region is specied as the
region between the locations registered to the [M1] and
[M2] buons.
Note: Allow at least two seconds for the loop region.
The loop region is the region between the loop-start
location and the location registered to the next buon to
the right. For example if you specify the [M1] buon as the
loop-start location, the loop region is the [M1]–[M2] region;
if you specify the [M2] buon as the loop-start location,
the loop region is [M2]–[M3]. If no mark is registered to
the next-numbered buon, the loop seing is ignored. You
can’t specify the [M8] buon as the loop-start location.
3. Press the [ ] buon.
Loop playback occurs between the locations of the [M1]
buon and [M2] buon.
4. Press the [  ] buon.
After playback reaches the end of the loop region,
recording begins from the loop-start location.
5. Play your instrument to record it.
Recording ends when you reach the end of the loop region,
and loop playback resumes.
If you want to continue overdubbing, press the [  ] buon
again and repeat the process.
6. Press the [ ] buon to stop recording.
Exporting song data
Song data that you record can be exported (wrien) as an
audio le to the SD card.
The exported audio le can be played back using the
KR-55 Pro’s Player mode or a commercially available audio
player, or loaded into your computer DAW.
The exported audio le is in the following format.
• File format: WAVE format uncompressed linear PCM
• Bit depth: 16-bit
• Sampling frequency: 44.1 kHz
• File name: SONGnnnn.WAV (the four characters “nnnn”
are an automatically assigned consecutive number)
Export procedure
1. Use the [F1] or [F2] buons to select the song that you
want to export.
2. Press the [Write] buon.
3. Press the [Set/OK] buon to export the song.
If you decide to cancel, press the [Clear/Cancel] buon.
The exported data is saved in the M1 folder of the SD card.
When exporting is complete, the [Write] buon goes dark
and the four-digit number of the exported le is displayed.
The time required for exporting depends on the amount
of free space on the SD card and on the length of the song
you’re exporting.
Importing an audio le
An audio le in the SD card can be imported (loaded) into
song data that you can use in Recorder mode. The imported
data can be played or overdubbed in Recorder mode.
An audio le that can be played in Player mode cannot be
directly played back in Recorder mode. The le must be
imported as Song data that can be played in Recorder mode.
Audio les of the following format can be imported.
• File format: WAVE format uncompressed linear PCM
• Bit depth: 16-bit
• Sampling frequency: 44.1 kHz, stereo les
Import procedure
1. In Player mode, use the [F1] or [F2] buons to select the
audio le that you want to import.
2. Press the [Write] buon.
3. Use the [F1] or [F2] buon to select the import-
destination song number.
The display indicates the song number (d01, d02...). The
number of a new song blinks, and the number of an
already-recorded song is lit.
Tip: If there is a new song, the lowest-numbered new song
is selected automatically.
If you select an already-recorded song (whose song
number is lit) and begin the import, the selected song
data is erased and overwrien by the imported data.
4. Press the [Set/OK] buon to import the song.
If you decide to cancel, press the [Clear/Cancel] buon.
The imported song data is placed in the song number that
you specied.
The imported data is saved in the D*** folder of the SD card.
