So I'm a guitar player and I've never picked used a synth/piano/keyboard/workstation in my life except for garage band on my phone or midi keys at college, I'm wondering if the Korg Kronos 88 lets you save the music you create on the storage? I'm also wondering if it had a built in speaker and I'm wondering if I can create drum tracks on it? Sorry if I sound stupid.

Yes you can save the music you create.
No built in speakers.
It has plenty of drum tracks to choose from.

Not only does it have 100s of standard drum tracks, it also has TONS of Karma drum GEs, which let you create millions of drum patterns. You can also create your own and you can save those as custom drum tracks. And you can record RPPR drum loops that you can trigger using keys you can assign yourself. It's a DEEP machine.

You don't have to be a real keyboardist to make good use of Kronos.
You can record Guitar tracks in there along with the drum tracks already in there. Also Vocal tracks or anything else. Sampling is always fun on kronos ,even for non musicians.
You may be fascinated with using kronos with a midi guitar setup some day.
Using it to bring all kinds of midi devices together is great.

Check out this video about midi guitar with kronos.

Three part video so i pasted all three. You may find more.

Even if kronos is more than you need, if you can afford to have it anyway, you can't go wrong and will be better in your music from it.
