I also had a mini-korg , I wish I still did. I don't use MIDI , it's sloppy and I don't like do-everything multi timbral machines. Nothing can replace the user interface with knobs , slidders , keyboard , and switches. I do have a KORG DSS-1 sampler , it also allows you to draw your own waveforms. I also use REBIRTH 338 . But I still hate MIDI !!
