Take your PA4x for examples...You both own one.. Try this in your DAW and compare it to using the onboard sequencer in the Korg..

Record a midi capture of the Korg arrangement (style).. a SMF.. Now modify the insert effect and / or change the effect, now change the tone to a sampled user tone on the Korg.. Strip the excess system exclusive message or add one to the sequence..
Now add lyrics to the SMF... Don't forget to maybe change the bass line at the end of the sequence...add a ride cymbal at the end..

You can do this with just the PA4x ... on stage..

Now do this on your Daw...get back to me in a couple days with the results.... oh that's right you can't do the above in the DAW..

My bet either of you have never used the on board sequencer in detail... or learned how to use it..

Yes the DAW has advantages ... most in audio ... not midi..


Try midi edditing using a piano roll tool
Or try adding some automation to a track..

Every step of edditing you do to the midi goes so much faster on the daw that the actuall up and dowload takes near to no time compared to the time you won with the efficient edditing




Bachus piano roll , step sequencing and other like tools were designed for the non player..

I have used them and prefer to play the parts.. as in punch in..etc.

I am sure you know what I am saying about all in one operation ..
What could be better than correct something in the instrument that created it..
No cables, no computers, no hassle..
