Saving projects on microkorg

I just got a microkorg a few days ago and I was wondering if you could record projects on the microkorg and layer them. The keyboardist in my old band used to save songs he created on to his MM6 and would only have to press a key to playback the song on the MM6 and layer over it, i was wondering if you could also do this on the microkorg

i don't believe you can do this on the microkorg. to do this you would need some kind of built-in sequencer, which the microkorg doesn't have. look into using midi and hooking it up to some kind of sequencer (either hardware or software).

What computerwelt said, plus the Microkorg isnt Multi-timbral...meaning you cant have two patches playing different melodies together simultaneously.

Except that the MicroKorg IS multitimbral, just not in that way. It can layer its two timbres but can't split them.

BryanQuinn, what your friend was doing was saving the midi song to the MM6 sequencer. The MK doesn't have a sequencer, so it can't do that by itself. However, any sequencer can do this, then if you hook it up to the MK, you can do the exact same thing but with MK sounds. What your friend's MM6 couldn't do is tweak the sound that comes out when it was playing like the MK can do.

I bought a cheap boss loop station for smaller sequences.
Only downside is that it only works in mono.
