Sequencer problems

Is there any way with the Korg m50 to transfer your saved sequencer song onto an SD card AND THEN be able to open it up on your computer. I tried doing that but I had nothing to open the specific file with. So my question: can you open up, on your computer, saved sequences off the SD card?

There are similar posts to this all the time.

MIDI is an informational format that only contains program numbers used, notes played, etc. So the sound you hear on your computer is generated by some microsoft windows GM softsynth with rubbish sounds, or by some sound module built into your sound card.

If you want to use the sounds that come out of the M50, you have to record them like you might do for any other stereo audio source - connect the Left and Right audio outputs to Left and Right inputs from your computer. you'd probably either need a professional USB or FireWire audio interface, or at least a stereo splitter cable for your Line In (absolutely not the 'Mic in', except on some laptops) socket.

example of a similar post from about a week ago here:
