I haven't used a Korg myself, but I know what you mean, some things can feel a
little intimidating to learn.  I think some things just take some time to learn
- You might just have to work through the manual a bit, or look up some
tutorials online.  Some people post tutorials on YouTube, which can be useful
since you can see what they're doing.

Some time ago I wanted to buy a decent synthesizer and decided on a Roland
Juno-G.  It's not low end but isn't one of the super-deluxe high-end keyboards
either.  I think it works fairly well and didn't totally cost an arm and a leg.
I eventually bought one of Roland's SRX sound expansion boards for it, which
added some interesting sounds.  It does onboard sequencing, and I was surprised
to see they removed the onboard sequencing from their newer Juno model that
came out after the Juno-G.  The salesperson at my local Guitar Center said most
people tend to do recording on their PC, which is why they took it out.  I
guess that makes sense - I've been interested in recording music and would
probably record on my PC rather than on a synthesizer.  I think recording on a
PC would make it easier to keep track of your projects and share the audio with
others.
