Korg Mono/Poly

Many thanx for the warm welcome.

I knew the former zen site and it was helpfull.
My biggest problem with this great synth is making sounds.
I wanted to make simple strings but its not so easy to make them on 
this synth.
Before the MP4 i had a akai ax73 so i know how a synth works but 
making just simple sounds is difficult.
There are times when i'm thinking that my mp4 is broken because its 
almost impossible to create sounds but i cant compare my mp4 with 
another to check this.
I know from other forums that there are more mp4 owners who can't make 
good sounds and are dissapointed by this synth.
Any help is welcome
greetings frank
