Sequencing Multiple Patches on One Synth
My question comes after reading this passage from Paul White's Basic Midi book:
"Most modern synths and PC soundcards are capable of playing back up to 16 different sounds at once, each controlled by a different midi channel, and so even a single synth will allow you to create quite ambitious sequences."
I have a Korg MicroKorg that I'm trying to sequence using an Alesis MMT-8 midi recorder, and right now I'm able to record on multiple channels and playback on one patch (or voice). What I want to do is have the synth play back multiple patches at the same time, as described in the quote above.

You want to look for a multi-timbral module. Often times you can find a 'General MIDI' compatible module that is capable of doing this, often times with rather bland sounds. Casio Porta-Studios are known for this; they have multi-timbral capability but their sound-sculpting capability is extremely limited. There are also some sound modules offered by Yamaha and Alesis that were geared towards the orchestrator that will work towards what you want. Also Roland.
