Unofficial Tutorials, General Korg Videos...etc.

[Sam CA]

This is a growing list of the videos that I’ve recorded over the past few years. Some are based on my own personal opinion and programming workflow, which means others may be using different techniques. In any case, they seem to have helped a few users in the past, so just sharing them here for anybody who could possibly find them useful in a way… . I will add the newest videos as a regular post to this thread, but will try to ask a Moderator to UPDATE this very first post with the latest links. Hopefully, this post at the very top will always contain everything I have. (Please let me know if I’ve posted the wrong link, broken links...etc).

Hi Eli,
You don't have to use a DAW. It's just you can see everything all on one screen if you use a computer. I've never programmed a Guitar mode track directly on the keyboard, but you should be able to do it all this way as well.
