I,m new to the LE .Can You tell Me if I understand this correctly?

1/The Le only has 1 ifx?
2/Most programmes use ifx in there sound creation.So when in sequencer mode it is not possible
to record many tracks using a different programme on each and still have
the programmes sounding the same as they do in programme mode?

And so if all the above is correct the best way to use the Korg LE is to
pretty much forget about the sequencer and record all tracks individually
to a multitracker?

P.S I bought it second hand without the mannual or dvd (incase this question seems a little dim)

The Le does indeed only have 1 x IFX, and 2 x MFX. So, this means you can only have one Timbre sounding exactly like the program patch it came from - unless of course you are using programs that coincidentally use the same effects.

When setting up a Combination, or a Sequence I tend to pick the IFX/MFX which either sounds best, or for the program which features most in the sequence, like the program used for the main melody.

Thanks for the help

You can also treat the MFX as IFX in a way, either by creating a chain or by setting the timbre output to 'off' and setting the send level to 100 for one of the IFX.

so you can have three seperate FX at the same time. you can chain them all together as well through the use of the routing in IFX and then the FX chain/through/whatever controll on the main MFX page (set direction MFX1>MFX2 or MFX2>MFX1, and the level).

Furthermore don't forget that possibly the most efficient way to do this is to make use of the outputs. take advantage of sounds which don't need to be in mono, combine this with a PC or multitracking -
e.g. main L/R could be stereosampled grand piano, then output 1 could be guitar and output 2 could be bass, using all these four you can still make a basic sequence, and still have the seperate tracks on the multitrack in order to add extra effects later, or you can be routing the extra outs to another effects processor e.g. guitar pedals, stereo fx processor, kaoss pad, etc.
