Anyone here a MicroKorg user? I have some Q's

Well. I've just joined the original MicroKorg club, and after spending the evening playing with it I really do like.

I am however, getting a bit lost. Specifically with these areas:

1) How do you load other banks of presets, other then the A/B default ranges that are selected when turning the style knob.

2) Editing the patches seems a tad difficult. The manual doesn't help. It is poorly translated.
I have generally twigged that there are 2 parameter selecters, with the 5 controllers at the top right doubling up from their main functions to edit aspects of each parameter. My question here is, how do you know which knob does what.
The editor and sound editor software aren't much clearer either. I'm loathe to play with them incase I accidentally erase the factory rom default settings.

3) Is it possible for the MicroKorg to generate Midi CC performance data, for control over plugins and other synths? Due to the Liquid Mix arriving, I have had to take my external HD off the Saffire FW daisy chain and put it onto my only 2 USB2 ports. This means everythign is now running on old school 5 din midi connectors, so I have lost my USB controller that I used to play and control automation with.

4) How many onboard effects does it have, and are the controls for these accessable for automation from a daw. And how would I save a patch over it has been automated from a default ?

Many more Q's, but for now...these shall doooo !

I never tweek using the hardware Microkorg , i always tweek using the plugin its far far far more easy.

to be honest ive never ventured into the menus on the hardware unit , too small and fiddly for me.

PS im using the Microkorg XL......

I haven't got a VST/AU PLugin controller for it.

If that's the case...I might have to get an XL !

Yes the plugin was only made for the Later XL version , however remember the plugin isn't VST/AU ...it only works outside your DAW as a standalone program.
