Hi YVinyls,

Q1- You could certainly create a good violin sound using the microKORG, if the built-in string Programs aren't doing it for you.

Here's a brief introduction to imitative sound creation, including a few tips for creating string sounds.

Q2- You can definitely plug your guitar into the microKORG to use the internal effects (we recommend going through a preamp first), but the microKORG will not track the pitch of the guitar. To accomplish what you want to do, you need a guitar with a MIDI output, connected to the MIDI input on the microKORG.

Hope this helps!
