About AudioGate's Copy Protection
AudioGate uses USB copy protection.
Follow the following steps to activate the software after installation.
1. Connect your MR recorder to the computer where AudioGate is installed, and set it to [USB
MODE].
2. Wait until the hard drive of the recorder is mounted to the computer, and launch AudioGate.
3. The message "AUDIOGATE ACTIVATED." will appear, and AudioGate will launch.
NOTE:
Although this process is usually required just once, you may be asked to repeat the activation
process occasionally depending on the computer configuration.
Release Notes
Changes and revisions in v2.0.1 from v2.0.0
- Microsoft Windows Vista (64-bit) is now supported.
- Fixes a problem on some computers where AudioGate would keep asking for an MR recorder
to be present, even after proper activation.
Some minor bugs have also been fixed.
Changes and revisions in v2.0.0 from v1.5.2
Added support for reading and creating DSD Discs.
AudioGate is now able to read and create a new high-definition audio disc format called “DSD Disc”,
(1bit/2.8MHz). This new format can be played back on a variety of compatible players to deliver a new
level of listening enjoyment using the highest quality fidelity available. Thanks to AudioGate’s powerful
format conversion algorithms, DSD discs can be made from or converted to any format that AudioGate
supports. When AudioGate is used with a Korg MR recorder, the superlative 1-bit audio recordings can be
turned into a high quality DSD disc with ease.
Added support for reading and creating audio CDs.
AudioGate can now load tracks directly from an audio CD. These files can be handled just like any
normal audio file, which enables you to directly edit and convert them to any format that AudioGate
supports. AudioGate can also create an audio CD from any format imported into the songlist. Reading and
writing of CD-Text is supported as well, depending on your drive.
Supported file formats expanded.
AudioGate now supports a wider range of formats, including the ability to import and export FLAC files.

Changes and revisions in v1.5.0 from v1.0.1
Added support for MR project files.
AudioGate can now read MR project files directly by drag-and-dropping MR project folders into the
songlist. Split audio files included in the project folder will be combined automatically, and markers
attached to the project will be loaded as well. Additionally, AudioGate can now export songs as MR
projects, which is useful when writing 4GB+ files back to an MR recorder.

AudioGate can now import MP3, AAC*1, Apple Lossless*1 and Windows Media Audio*2 files.
Compatibility of AIFF files has been improved as well.
*1 QuickTime 7 (or later) required. *2 Windows only.
Added support for dual mono files.
A “Channel Link” function has been added to AudioGate. You can now link two monaural songs in the
songlist and handle them as a single stereo song. A dual mono export option has also been added which
creates one mono file per channel.
Added support for markers.
AudioGate can now read markers included in MR projects, WAV/BWF files and DSDIFF files. You can
also add new markers, remove existing markers, edit marker positions and jump between the markers. All
markers will be embedded to the exported files if you select MR project, WAV, BWF or DSDIFF as your
export file format.
Added “quick locate” function.
You can now change the current position of the song using keyboard entry. Just click the counter in the
3
info viewer, and type the new position (time) you want to locate.
Added “balance” parameter to song settings.
You can now change the balance between left and right channels of your recording, which will be
reflected when you play back or export your file.
Enhanced songlist function.
You can now re-size the songlist by clicking and dragging the bottom right corner of the AudioGate
window. We have also added a “continuous playback” option which makes AudioGate play back all
recordings in the songlist continuously (like a standard audio player).
Added support for Unicode.
AudioGate now supports Unicode. Multi-byte characters used in Japanese can be used for artist name, file
name, title and other text information.
Enhanced sound quality, conversion speed and stability.
We have enhanced the sound quality, conversion speed and stability of AudioGate through meticulous
review and optimization of existing code and algorithms.
Some minor bugs have also been fixed.
