    Sonar only actually works with wave files. All others are converted to wave by Sonar to actually work with them.  Also MP3 is a compression format that we don't actually hear. I can't recall a sampler that uses MP3 because as far as I know they can vary a great deal in quality. Flac is used a lot. If you are streaming audio to Sonar to record it is in wav format. You can import all the other audio file formats.

    If the Alpha is set up correctly, SONAR and the Alpha's sampling rate and bit depth match, your audio and USB cables are in good working order, SONAR should record exactly what you're playing and it will sound exactly like what you hear when you're just playing the keyboard.

    Nope.  Well, at least assuming that the Korg has 1/4" line-level outputs and your soundcard has 1/4" line-level inputs.
